Thermal insulation sponge
Shin-Etsu Polymer offers sheets of silicone rubber insulative sponge that provide excellent thermal insulation with good mechanical strength and durability with superb heat and cold resistance.
RA-type has an exposed cell structure focussing on thermal insulation.
CT-type has a closest skin that provides additional shielding for water and air.
