Our open cell EPDM sponge is an incredibly versatile, high-performance sealing material. It shares many properties with closed-cell materials, such as durability and resistance to weathering, UV, and ozone deterioration. However, the open cell structure offers superior flexibility and recovery without deformation when pressure is released, making it ideal for sealing or cushioning applications with irregular depths or non-uniform areas.
Key Features
- Superior Flexibility and Recovery: Open cell structure allows for excellent flexibility and returns to its original shape after compression.
- Weathering Resistance: Resists weathering, UV, and ozone deterioration, suitable for outdoor applications.
- High Compression Sealing: At 80% compression, it can create an air and watertight seal, suitable for high-pressure applications.
- Semi-Closed Cell Structure: Combines the physical characteristics of open cell materials with the sealing capabilities of closed cell materials.
Customisation Options
We supply this EPDM sponge material in a standard density of 65 kg/m³, with thicknesses ranging from 1mm to 40mm. Our manufacturing capabilities allow us to produce the material in various formats, including sheets, strip cut lengths, and bespoke gaskets. We also offer lamination and adhesive backing to aid with installation.
