Sold Per Metre
The Sponge Seal is available by the linear meter, ensuring that you can easily purchase the exact length needed for your project. The section is crafted from a premium closed-cell sponge, a material known for its excellent resistance to water absorption. This feature makes the seal particularly suitable for applications where a watertight barrier is essential, such as on hatches, lockers, enclosures, doors, and cabinets.
Applications in Marine, Automotive, and Industrial Environments
This Sponge Seal is engineered to withstand tough conditions, making it an ideal choice for various environments:
Marine Use: The closed-cell nature of the EPDM material ensures the seal will not absorb water, providing a long-lasting watertight seal on boats and ships.
Automotive: Protect doors, windows, and panels from water, dust, and drafts with this flexible yet durable sponge seal.
Industrial: Ideal for creating secure seals on machinery, cabinets, and equipment, protecting internal components from contaminants and moisture.
The smooth outer skin of the Sponge Seal adds an aesthetic appeal to applications where the product may be visible. Whether you're sealing a hatch or door on a vessel or a cabinet in an industrial setting, the neat finish will blend seamlessly with its surroundings.
Easy Installation and Bonding
The Sponge Seal is designed for easy installation on most clean, flat surfaces, including metal, wood, and plastic. The adhesive backing ensures a secure bond, and for optimal adhesion, we recommend using a high-quality contact adhesive such as S136 or A262, both available through our website.
Superior Performance with Expanded EPDM
Manufactured from high-quality expanded EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), the Sponge Seal offers outstanding compressibility and flexibility. When compressed to approximately 30%, this seal effectively creates a long-term, watertight seal. It maintains its integrity even in the most challenging conditions without the risk of compression set, which means it will not lose its shape or sealing capabilities over time.
EPDM is well-known for its excellent resistance to a variety of substances, including most chemicals, UV radiation, air, and ozone. This makes the Sponge Seal highly durable and suitable for use in environments with exposure to these elements. However, it is important to note that EPDM is not recommended for use in environments where the seal may come into direct contact with oil or fuel, as these substances can degrade the material.
Temperature Resistance for Year-Round Use
Another standout feature of the Sponge Seal is its broad operating temperature range. EPDM can withstand temperatures from as low as -40°C to as high as +120°C, making it a reliable choice for both cold and hot environments. Whether you're sealing equipment in freezing conditions or protecting machinery in high heat, this seal is built to perform in a wide range of temperatures.
Conclusion
The Sponge Seal - 20mm x 19.8mm is a reliable and effective solution for creating watertight seals in a variety of applications. With its high-quality expanded EPDM construction, closed-cell structure, and resistance to water absorption, this product is perfect for marine, automotive, and industrial environments. Its easy installation, durability, and long-lasting performance make it the ideal choice for anyone looking for a trusted sealing solution.
