What is Open Cell Silicone Foam Sheet For Vacuum Ironing Tables?
Open cell silicone foam sheet is one of the foam types that is made from polyurethane foam that has been impregnated with a silicone compound that is used for improving high temperature resistance properties.
In addition to making the foam able to hold up better in vacuum and disperse steam better than traditional latex foam, this also makes it more durable than conventional sponge foam mats. This kind of material is widely used for vacuum ironing tables and steaming presses in the garment industry due to the smooth surface and resilience of the foam. With their unique properties, open cell foam pads will help textile industries increase efficiency and productivity.
Open cell silicone sponge sheet is the best ironing table cover you can use on all ironing tables and pressing machines. Since the pores are open, there is an even distribution of steam, which makes it the ideal choice for ironing fabrics that are difficult to iron. Open cell silicone foam maintains a constant finish quality under low temperatures. It represents significant cost savings due to its long lifespan.
