The Pinnacle of Performance for Your Application
Silicone foam offers a range of desirable characteristics that can be thoughtfully applied to solve unique challenges. Quanex is ready to help you take those challenges on.
We have a long history of applying silicone foam solutions in the window and door industry, utilizing the material for insulating glass (IG) spacers for decades. This has resulted in our deep expertise in the use of the material. Where most silicone foam is injection molded, Quanex can extrude silicone foam products to extremely tight tolerances.
We can apply this unique capability to a wide range of applications, anywhere silicone foam can help improve your products, including those requiring:
- Unique shapes
- Long-term durability
- Extreme thermal performance and temperature resistance
- Exceptional cleanliness
We leverage our expertise to help you identify the right silicone foam formulation for your needs, helping you make an impact on your products and how you serve your customers. Learn more about how we can help:
- Silicone Foam Excellence
- Higher Performance

Proven performance
A History of Excellence for Tomorrow’s Challenge
Super Spacer® technology was developed in 1984 as a groundbreaking alternative to metallic spacer systems for IG units. The thermal advantages of the silicone foam solution enabled new heights for performance for windows and doors around the world.
Today, our expertise in silicone foam can extend to challenging applications that require decades of durability, temperature resistance or thermal performance, and much more.
Innovation
Taking Performance to New Heights
Through scientific investigations, we know why products fail—and why they don’t.
