Processing & Supply Options
AITO supplies silicone foam sheets with processing requirements reviewed against the selected grade, thickness and component drawing.
- Cut-to-size sheets
- Sheet dimensions and flat blanks prepared within the selected grade’s published thickness and width range. Specify length and tolerances.
- Drawing-based cutting
- AITO’s die-cutting capability can be reviewed for pads and gasket outlines. Include holes, narrow sections, thickness and quantity.
- Adhesive backing review
- Specify the silicone foam grade, bonding surface and service temperature so the backing construction can be evaluated.
- Lamination review
- Provide the required facing and layer sequence. Confirm compatibility and total thickness for the finished component.
AITO processing services: Grooving, slitting, lamination, CNC cutting, waterjet cutting, wire cutting, oscillating-knife cutting, strip cutting, cut-to-size work and die cutting.
The cutting method is selected for the material, thickness and drawing. Confirm feasibility for the selected silicone grade. Raw-foam temperature, fire and electrical data do not automatically apply to an adhesive-backed or laminated part.
Thicknesses start at 0.5, 0.8 or 1 mm depending on the grade, up to 30 mm. Standard widths are 500 and 1000 mm.
Send the required length, dimensional tolerances and quantity. Include adhesive or lamination requirements for supply review.
Typical Applications
Sheet material for converters producing seals, cushioning pads and insulating interfaces.
Battery-pack and energy-storage seals
Foam strips and frame gaskets can be evaluated at pack covers, service openings and enclosure joints. Specify the installed gap, fastening load and sealing requirement. The finished assembly needs its own sealing and safety validation.
Electrical cabinet gaskets
Converters cut the sheet into seals for doors, lids and removable access panels. Select the starting thickness and compression response around the enclosure fit, then review the bonding surface and joining method.
Automotive cushioning and isolation
Pads and interface strips can separate contacting parts in vehicle assemblies. Review contact area, movement and compression load together; the sheet data does not define a finished-part vibration rating.
Rail and equipment assembly pads
Silicone foam can be evaluated for cushioning, insulation and protective interfaces in rail and energy-storage equipment. State the required fire, smoke and toxicity specification so the relevant grade, thickness and test report can be reviewed.
