Water Resistance: As a closed-cell sponge, it does not absorb water, making it ideal for watertight sealing.
Durability: It withstands UV rays, air, ozone, and most chemicals, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
Wide Temperature Range: Operates effectively in temperatures between -40°C and +120°C, offering reliability in extreme conditions.
Note: While EPDM is highly resistant to most substances, it is not recommended for environments where contact with oil or fuel is frequent.

Compression and Sealing Performance
When compressed to approximately 30%, the sponge seal forms a long-term watertight seal without the risk of compression set. This ensures durability and reliability over extended periods, even under constant pressure.
Easy Installation
The sponge seal can be bonded to clean, flat surfaces such as:
Metal
Wood
Plastic
For best results, use a high-quality contact adhesive like S136 or A262, both available from our website. These adhesives ensure a strong and secure bond, maintaining the integrity of the seal.
