Description:
Sponge Seal - 29mm x 15mm: A Versatile Sealing Solution for Marine, Automotive, and Industrial Applications
When it comes to sealing solutions, especially in environments that require reliable protection against water, dust, and air, choosing the right material is crucial. The Sponge Seal – 29mm x 15mm provides an ideal option for a wide variety of applications across marine, automotive, and industrial sectors. Manufactured from high-quality expanded EPDM, this product offers impressive durability, flexibility, and resistance to various environmental factors.
Key Features of the Sponge Seal – 29mm x 15mm
Optimal Size and Shape:
The Sponge Seal is available in a 29mm width and a 15mm height, which makes it highly effective for creating watertight seals on a wide range of surfaces. The product is sold per linear metre, and it comes in a convenient coil length of 40 metres, ensuring that you can purchase exactly the amount you need for your sealing requirements.
Closed-Cell Construction for Enhanced Watertight Performance:
Manufactured from a closed-cell sponge material, the seal does not absorb water. This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for applications where water resistance is a priority, such as sealing hatches, lockers, enclosures, doors, and cabinets. Its closed-cell structure also prevents the material from becoming waterlogged, which helps maintain the integrity of the seal over time.
Neat Appearance with Smooth Outer Skin:
The Sponge Seal features a smooth outside skin, providing a neat and tidy sealing solution. This makes it an excellent choice for applications where the seal may be visible, as the smooth surface gives it an aesthetically pleasing finish while still offering effective sealing performance.
Versatility in Bonding:
This seal can be easily bonded to a variety of clean, flat surfaces, including metals, plastics, and wood. To ensure a secure and lasting bond, we recommend using high-quality contact adhesives, such as S136 or A262, both of which are available from our website.
Why Choose EPDM for Your Sealing Needs?
Compressibility and Long-Term Performance:
The Sponge Seal is made from expanded EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), a highly compressible material that excels in creating effective seals. When compressed to approximately 30% of its original thickness, the seal creates a long-lasting watertight barrier without the risk of compression set. This means that the seal will not lose its ability to perform over time, even under continuous pressure.
Resistance to Environmental Factors:
EPDM is known for its impressive resistance to a range of environmental elements. The material is highly resistant to chemicals, UV radiation, air, and ozone, making it perfect for harsh outdoor environments. Whether you're using the seal in a marine, automotive, or industrial setting, EPDM ensures that your sealing solution will withstand exposure to the elements for years to come.
Temperature Stability:
The EPDM material has an operating temperature range between -40°C to +120°C, ensuring that it remains effective even in extreme temperatures. Whether you're working in freezing cold conditions or under high heat, this Sponge Seal maintains its sealing properties and does not degrade due to temperature fluctuations.
Not Suitable for Oil or Fuel Environments:
While EPDM is highly resistant to many substances, it is not recommended for environments that may come into contact with oils or fuels. For these specific applications, a different material may be more appropriate.
Applications of the Sponge Seal
Thanks to its excellent sealing properties, the Sponge Seal – 29mm x 15mm is ideal for a wide variety of applications:
Marine Environments: Ideal for sealing hatches, doors, and lockers on boats and ships to prevent water ingress.
Automotive Use: Perfect for use in doors, windows, and panels to keep water and air out.
Industrial Enclosures: Use the seal to ensure cabinets and enclosures remain watertight in factories or machinery housing.
General Construction: Its flexibility makes it suitable for a range of sealing applications, both indoors and outdoors.
Conclusion
The Sponge Seal – 29mm x 15mm offers a reliable, durable, and cost-effective solution for sealing in marine, automotive, and industrial environments. With its high-quality EPDM construction, excellent compressibility, and resistance to a wide range of environmental factors, this product is designed to deliver lasting performance. Whether you’re looking to create a watertight barrier on a boat, car, or industrial enclosure, this seal is an excellent choice that ensures protection against the elements. For optimal performance, pair it with a strong adhesive, and enjoy the long-term benefits of a secure, professional-grade seal.
