BISCO® Silicones

The BISCO® product lines, supplied by Rogers Corporation, are the world’s leaders in silicone materials used for gasketing and sealing applications. BISCO offers a wide range of cellular, solid, and specialty silicone materials that are produced in roll stock. Marian utilizes various converting methods to die-cut BISCO silicone materials into custom gaskets, heat shields, fire stops, seals, cushions, and insulation.

Rogers BISCO Silicone

Die-cut BISCO® Silicone

BISCO® Silicone: Superior Performance Characteristics

  • Resistant to temperature extremes, UV, and ozone
  • Extremely resilient to mechanical fatigue
  • Excellent compression-set resistance
  • Flame resistant – Compliance with the most stringent UL flame ratings

BISCO® SILICONE PRODUCTS

Cellular Silicone Foams

  • UL94 V-0 and HF1 certification rated for flame resistance
  • Wide compression force range
  • Low compression set under high temperatures
  • Temperature range from -55°C to +200°C (-65°F to +400°F)

Marian manufactures custom die cut components using cellular BISCO silicone for sealing, cushioning, insulation, and vibration isolation, particularly in applications with extreme temperatures and exposure to harsh elements and UV. Marian can laminate materials with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) on one or both sides.

Die-cut BISCO®

BF-2000 Extra Soft Silicone Foam
  • Typical Density of 10 pounds per cubic foot (PCF)
  • Compression force deflection (CFD) 2.5 PSI maximum
  • Ideal for transportation applications and areas where low closure force and dust sealing are critical
BISCO Silicone RS-700 Industrial Grade Sponge

Sponge Silicones

  • General purpose, durable materials for tough environments

BISCO silicones are an excellent choice for gasket and sealing applications in harsh environments requiring a low compression set. Marian die cuts a variety of custom components with the ability to laminate both sides with PSA.

Flame Resistant Sponge Silicone
  • Available in three grades: soft, medium, and firm
  • Flame resistant with temperature resistance range of -103°F to 450°F

Solid BISCO® Silicone

  • Grades suitable for acoustic barriers
  • Available durometer range of 10 to 70
  • Electrically conductive

Marian converts solid silicone materials for high demand gasketing applications. This material is ideal for industrial applications, acoustic, flame, and smoke barriers. Solid silicone material has high tear strength and excellent resistance to fluids.

A2 Sound Barrier Silicone
  • Typical density of 1.2-8.2kg/m2
  • 62 Shore A Durometer
  • Meets the most demanding requirements for flammability, smoke density, and toxicity
