Noncombustible Radiation-Resistant Silicone  Elastomeric Foam


Purpose


Noncombustible insulation in aircraft engineering, encapsulation of cable ducts at nuclear and thermal power stations, protective screens and clothes manufacturing, radioactive waste capsulation.
 

Development description


SSC RF GNIIChTEOS in cooperation with SSC “Kurchatovskii Institute” developed formulations and production technology of new organosilicon elastomeric foam that are absolutely noncombustible even when flooded with burning fuel. The elastomeric foam may be produced on the surfaces of water and aqueous solutions.
