SILICONE SPONGE GASKETS
Commonly called expanded silicone in the cellular rubber products industry, silicone sponge is a type of closed cell material that is usually available in thicknesses between 1/16" to 2". A.J. Rubber & Sponge Ltd.'s silicone sponge gaskets and seals possess many unique properties:
- Very soft compared to solid silicone gaskets
- Comprised of a closed cell structure, making silicone sponge the preferred choice for custom gaskets and seals manufacturing
- Densities are typically defined by the compression force of deflection in a PSI range compressed by 25% (a range of 2 to 5 PSI compression force of deflection is rated as soft, whereas a range of 14 to 20 PSI is rated as hard)
- They derive from an uncured silicone gum source, which then expands to the desired size through a specialized manufacturing process
- They provide superior water sealing under numerous applications
