I am seeking a elastomer foam, which meets these criteria:

- Thin (less than 1 mm thick, ideal is 0.5 mm thick) and flexible and is available in sheets
- Fast rebound rate
- Low creep
- Low compression set
- Consistent deflection under given pressure (example: if the elastomer were compressed under 50 psi it would have x deflection. the foam would then be released and allowed to rest. Then when it is compressed again under 50 psi the deflection is still x.)

Does anyone know of any material that might meet the above requirements.

Thanks
 
Thermoset or 2 pack or cross linked polyurethane or silicone rubber
