1 / 4BISCO Silicone Foam
Rogers BISCO cellular silicone foam sheets and rolls for compression gaskets, cushioning and heat-exposed assemblies. ALS Tape reviews die-cut parts and adhesive backing by grade, thickness and drawing.
Material Family
Rogers BISCO cellular silicone foam; grade and thickness selected per application
BF-1000 (Very Soft)
Typical density 12 pcf; compression force 1–5 psi (Rogers product guide)
HT-800 (Medium)
Typical density 22 pcf; compression force 6–14 psi (Rogers product guide)
HT-820 (Firm)
Typical density 24 pcf; compression force 12–20 psi (Rogers product guide)
Overview
ALS Tape supplies and converts Rogers BISCO cellular silicone foams for gaskets, cushioning and insulation parts. Rogers lists several firmness levels: BF-1000 is a very soft cellular foam, HT-800 is medium and HT-820 is firm. Their published density and compression-force ranges differ, so the grade should be selected against the assembly gap, closure force and service temperature. Rogers lists flame ratings for specific grades and thicknesses; verify the exact construction against your requirement. Send a drawing, target thickness, compression gap, adhesive preference and quantity for a material and converting review. Stock, format and lead time are confirmed in the quote.

Rogers PORON microcellular PU foam and BISCO silicone for precision sealing, cushioning, and thermal management.
Key Features
Grade-specific compression force: compare the selected BF or HT grade with the closure force and compression gap in the assembly.
Silicone temperature performance: Rogers lists BISCO cellular foams for a broad temperature range; use the selected grade data sheet for the design limit.
Flame ratings by construction: UL 94 classification depends on the grade and tested thickness; confirm the exact part requirement before ordering.
From soft to firm: BF-1000, HT-800 and HT-820 are examples of cellular foam grades with different published densities and compression-force ranges.
Die-cut and adhesive-backed parts: ALS Tape can review drawings for gaskets, cushions and insulation pads; format and adhesive are specified per project.
No assumed grade: stock, thickness and adhesive construction are confirmed against the drawing before quoting.
Applications
Compression gaskets for equipment enclosures where closure force and temperature have been specified
Cushioning and vibration management in transportation and industrial assemblies
Insulation pads and spacers in heat-exposed equipment, subject to grade limits
Die-cut seals and cushions from a specified BISCO cellular foam grade
Adhesive-backed components after adhesive and substrate compatibility are reviewed
Sample or production parts quoted against the drawing and material requirements
FAQ
Which BISCO grade should I start with?
Start with the assembly gap, target compression and closure force. Rogers lists BF-1000 as very soft, HT-800 as medium and HT-820 as firm. Compare the grade data sheet with your temperature and sealing requirements before ordering.
Are all BISCO silicone foams UL 94 V-0?
Do not assume one flame rating for the whole family. Check the Rogers classification for the selected grade and tested thickness, then specify the required rating on the drawing or purchase request.
Can ALS Tape supply die-cut or adhesive-backed BISCO parts?
ALS Tape can review drawings for die-cut gaskets, pads and adhesive-backed parts. Send the grade or performance target, thickness, outline, adhesive preference and quantity; availability and process are confirmed in the quote.
