Viton Sponge Rubber
Collaborating with multiple material suppliers empowers Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd to provide an extensive array of high-quality materials, including specialized grades tailored for unique industries and applications. One such material is Viton sponge, employed in crafting products like Viton sponge rubber.
Viton sponge stands out for its special formulation, enabling it to withstand extreme temperatures spanning from -25°C to +204°C, along with a wide range of chemicals, liquids, and acids. This versatile material is manufactured in roll form, with thicknesses commencing at 3.18mm. Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd can efficiently convert it into various other products, including sheets and cut components such as washers, strips, and gaskets. This process is facilitated by a suite of in-house machinery, comprising splitters, bandsaws, presses, log cutters, and oscillating knives. Additionally, Viton sponge can be supplied with a plain or self-adhesive finish through our in-house laminating service.
Customers and end-users have the flexibility to acquire Viton sponge as finished cut components or in roll and sheet formats. This versatility accommodates larger surface areas and the capability to cut parts as needed, enhancing adaptability and convenience.
What is Viton Sponge Rubber
Viton sponge rubber is among the diverse closed-cell materials provided by Advanced Seals & Gaskets, ideal for demanding environments. This material is produced in roll form, with thickness options ranging from 3.18mm to 19.05mm, featuring skin on both sides to enhance tear resistance.
Some customers favor rolls for the flexibility of cutting their own sheets to their specific needs as required. Nevertheless, our on-site conversion and laminating services enable us to offer custom-finished cut parts, available with a selection of finishes, including foils, self-adhesives, or other materials. This versatility ensures we cater to a broad spectrum of preferences and requirements.

The Advantages of Using Viton Sponge
The utilization of Viton sponge rubber sheets offers numerous advantages due to their high-performance, versatility, and durability. These sheets exhibit enhanced strength owing to the skins, thereby ensuring tear and puncture resistance.
Even without the skins, Viton sponge rubber, with its closed-cell structure, is suitable for fabricating a wide array of sealing components, effectively preventing the ingress of air or fluid into its cell structure.
Viton sponge rubber materials are readily available in a range of standard pre-manufactured thicknesses, serving as a foundation for the conversion into various products like gaskets, strips, rolls, washers, and more. Furthermore, these rolls and sheets can be customized by splitting them down or laminating to attain non-standard thicknesses, aligning with specific requirements. This adaptability allows Viton sponge rubber to cater to a multitude of sealing and insulating needs.
