Silicone Foam Tapes are used in high temperature industrial, aerospace and military applications.  The silicone foam carrier is suitable for temps up 400ºF (204ºC), however the type of adhesive may limit the maximum use temp to +325ºF (163ºC). 

For example, silicone foam tapes with acrylic adhesives are rated for temps from -40ºF (-40ºC) to +325ºF (163ºC).  Silicone sponge tapes with silicone pressure sensitive can be used up to 500ºF (260ºC).

Many silicone tapes are used for sealing and gasket applications.    

Silicone Foam Tapes are sometimes called silicone sponge tape because there 2 types of soft, compressible silicone used to make tapes.  Silicone foam, refers to a carrier made from a liquid silicone.  This material is typically softer than silicone sponge tape and supplied with an acrylic adhesive for use up to +325ºF (163ºC).

Silicone sponge is mixed in a roll mixer and is typically a little stiffer than the foam.  The pore size tends to be smaller with the silicone sponge making the tape appear some what harder.  Silicone sponge tape can be supplied with acrylic +325ºF (163ºC) or silicone +500ºF (260ºC) pressure sensitive adhesive.
