Benefits of the Sponge D Shaped Seal
Watertight and Secure
The large hollow void within the D-section allows for easy compression, providing a long-lasting and effective watertight seal. The closed-cell sponge construction ensures the seal does not absorb water, preventing the buildup of moisture that could lead to potential damage. This makes the seal perfect for preventing water ingress in boats, outdoor enclosures, and other areas exposed to the elements.
Versatile Bonding Options
This seal can be easily bonded onto clean, flat surfaces like metal, wood, and plastic. For optimal adhesion, we recommend using a quality contact adhesive, such as S136 or A262, both available on our website. These adhesives ensure a strong and long-lasting bond, even under challenging conditions.
High-Quality EPDM Construction
The seal is made from expanded EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a highly compressible material that is well-known for its durability and performance in a variety of environments. The material is highly resistant to UV radiation, ozone, air, and most chemicals, making it suitable for long-term outdoor use. However, it should not be exposed to oil or fuel, as EPDM is not recommended for environments with these substances.
Temperature Range and Durability
The wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +120°C allows this seal to perform in both extremely cold and hot conditions without losing its effectiveness. Whether you are using it in freezing temperatures or in areas that experience high heat, the seal will continue to provide reliable protection against moisture and contaminants.
Applications
The Sponge D Shaped Rubber Seal is an essential component in many sealing applications:
Marine: Ideal for sealing boat hatches and lockers to prevent water ingress.
Automotive: Can be used for doors, windows, and boot seals in vehicles.
Construction: Perfect for sealing doors and windows in outdoor cabinets, containers, and enclosures.
Industrial: Can be used to create watertight seals in machinery, electrical enclosures, and equipment storage units.
