3M Polyimide 8997 and 8998

BISCO® BF-2000

Rogers BISCO® BF-2000 Ultra Soft Silicone Foam is an ultra-compressible, open-cell silicone foam designed for applications requiring low closure force, reliable gasketing, and superior flame resistance. Its lightweight and highly conformable structure makes it ideal for fragile or irregular substrates, while its patented chemistry ensures long-term performance in demanding environments. With excellent UV, ozone, and thermal resistance, BF-2000 is trusted across aerospace, electronics, and industrial applications where durability and soft sealing are critical.

Applications include: Cold supply chains, gap filling, gasketing and sealing, LCD gaskets, shock absorption, and vibration management.

 
 
  • Ultra-low softness allows protective seals that use less force
  • High compressibility enables material to conform to variable width gaps, allowing greater design flexibility
  • Reduces maintenance costs associated with gasket failures due to compression set and softening
