Sponge Gaskets
Sponge gaskets are an alternative to natural rubber gaskets and are suitable for various applications, including those in which gas retention and water exclusion are important. We recommend foam gaskets for dust, powder, air and moisture retention, in low-pressure sealing applications, and for preventing parts damage.
Types of Sponge Gaskets: Open Cell Sponge and Closes Cell Sponge .
There are two main types of sponge gaskets manufactured across the world: open-cell sponge and closed-cell material.
Open-cell sponge gaskets have exceptional vibration resistance properties and are used for product protection, sound insulation and vibration damping. Natural rubber open-cell sponge gaskets are compressible and have excellent compression recovery properties. Air can pass freely in and out of cells, allowing them to reinflate once the pressure subsides, making them great for high-intensity applications.
Closed-cell structure foam gaskets have many foam chambers arranged in a lattice inside the main body of the foam. Connecting cavities do not share access to the external atmosphere. Therefore, they are suitable for sealing at low pressures. Closed-cell sponge gaskets can also be used for weather resistance and often come with self-adhesive backing to make them easier to install.
