UL94 V0 Flame Retardant Silicone Sponge Rubber

St. Gobain’s R-10400-M flame retardant silicone sponge is a unique expanded silicone sheet product. It has similar mechanical properties as standard silicone sponge rubber but with flame resistance, R-10400 holds an aggressive UL94 V0 flame rating. Silicone is a naturally heat resistant rubber, however without enhanced chemistry it is capable of burning in the presence of a flame. R-10400 may be used similarly to standard silicone sponge products such as enclosure gaskets, soft gasket, vibration dampening, environmental gaskets, and water sealing but also for application such as military and electronics that require a UL94 V0 flame rating or flame resistance.



Description: Flame Resistant Closed Cell Silicone Sponge Rubber
Put up: Silicone Roll or Silicone Sheet
Temperature Range: 100 – 500°F (-73 – 260°C)
Force Deflection: 10psi (@ room temp)
Compression Set: 10% (22hrs @ 212°F)

Other properties such as UV resistant and a wide functional temperature range, makes R-10400 an ideal product for outdoor gasket and electronic enclosure gasket applications, where performance is paramount. Stockwell offers a wide range of adhesive backings (peel and stick) for ease of installation.

New Stockwell Brochure!

Over the last few months Bill Stockwell has been working on a new brochure that highlights Stockwell Elastomerics core products and service. I thought it would be interesting to show a couple pages from an archive brochure. I’m guessing this brochure is from the 1940 – 1950’s. Think about what may have been involved with that brochure. No digital pictures or computers back then!


It’s remarkable how some things remain the same and others do not. As an example on the inside cover of the 1940ish brochure the slogan reads “What we really SELL is SERVICE” this very much holds true for Stockwell today. The old Stockwell Rubber Company sold everything “rubber” whereas today Stockwell Elastomerics is focused on high performance materials (such as silicone, Poron urethane foam, thermal and electrically conductive rubber), custom manufacturing (waterjet cutting, die cutting, slitting, and molding. Quick reliable service is still at the core of Stockwell's business model.
