Rogers BISCO HT-870 soft silicone foam
BISCO-HT-870 is a harder, denser version of BF-1000 silicone. With sealing and shock-absorbing properties in a wide range of applications. BISCO HT-870 Soft Cellular Silicone is ideal for sealing external enclosures, protecting electronics from shock and heat and providing shock absorption and vibration isolation. With excellent memory and low stress relaxation, HT-870 silicone reduces maintenance costs caused by compression and softening-induced seal failures. Its added softness allows designers to use less force to seal the case while still protecting devices from the elements.
