Closed Cell Sponge Construction for Superior Performance
Manufactured from closed cell sponge material, the Sponge Seal 18mm x 17mm does not absorb water, making it the perfect choice for situations where watertight integrity is essential. Its non-absorbent nature helps to prevent water ingress, making it suitable for sealing hatches, lockers, doors, enclosures, and cabinets. Whether you’re sealing areas that are exposed to moisture or environments that require a robust barrier against water, this product provides reliable protection.
Neat and Professional Finish
The smooth outside skin of the sponge seal ensures a neat and tidy appearance when applied, making it an ideal choice for areas where the seal may be visible. This feature enhances its aesthetic appeal while providing functional protection, making it a versatile choice for both visible and concealed sealing applications. The Sponge Seal 18mm x 17mm not only serves as a practical solution but also adds to the overall finish of your project.
Versatile Bonding and Application
One of the standout features of this sponge seal is its ability to bond effectively to most clean, flat surfaces, including metal, wood, and plastic. This wide compatibility ensures that the product can be used in a variety of settings, from boats to vehicles to industrial machinery. To achieve the best results, we recommend using a high-quality contact adhesive, such as S136 or A262, both of which are available for purchase on our website.
Premium EPDM Material for Durability and Resistance
The Sponge Seal 18mm x 17mm is crafted from high-quality expanded EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a compressible material known for its durability and long-lasting performance. EPDM is highly resistant to a variety of substances, including most chemicals, UV rays, air, and ozone. This makes the seal highly suitable for use in harsh conditions without the risk of degradation. It’s important to note, however, that EPDM is not recommended for use in environments that may come into contact with oil or fuel, as these substances can compromise its performance.
When compressed to approximately 30%, the material forms an effective, watertight seal that will maintain its integrity over time without the risk of compression set. This ensures that your seals remain reliable and effective for the long term.
Temperature Resistance for Harsh Environments
The versatility of the Sponge Seal 18mm x 17mm extends to its ability to withstand a wide temperature range. With an operational temperature range between -40°C and +120°C, it is suitable for use in both extremely cold and hot environments. This makes it an excellent choice for marine, automotive, and industrial applications where temperature fluctuations are common.
Conclusion
The Sponge Seal 18mm x 17mm is an excellent choice for anyone needing a high-quality, durable, and effective sealing solution. Its closed cell sponge construction, resistance to a wide range of environmental factors, and versatility in bonding make it an essential product for ensuring watertight integrity in a variety of applications. Whether you're working in marine, automotive, or industrial sectors, this seal offers a reliable solution for keeping out moisture and providing long-term protection.
