Natural Sponge Rubber Gaskets
Natural sponge rubber is a lightweight, open cell sponge manufactured in a standard thickness range of 3 mm to 25 mm. Natural sponge rubber offers good anti-vibration and acoustic absorption, weather resistance and is available in a choice of grades. Our natural sponge rubber gaskets can be manufactured plain, with self-adhesive backings, foils or films. This can be applied on one or both sides, and supplied as individual pieces or kiss-cut onto strips.

What is Natural Sponge Rubber?
Open cell sponge rubber is supplied as standard in rolls, but can be cut and shaped into products to meet a wide range of specifications.
Unlike its closed-cell counterparts, natural sponge rubber facilitates the circulation of gases and fluids in applications requiring it, while its multi-patterned skin ensures excellent compression and recovery properties. Due to the open cell structure of this material, natural sponge rubber is suited for use in applications where resistance to fluids is only required when a surface coating is applied.
Why use Natural Sponge Rubber Gaskets?
The purpose of a gasket is to fill gaps and irregularities between 2 surfaces, prevent unwanted noise and vibrations, or to seal against air, gas, dust and liquids.
Natural sponge rubber gaskets possess the characteristics of a heavy-duty, robust material, despite its softness and compression recovery. It offers superior anti-vibration and acoustic absorption, weather resistance and the ability to seal complex shapes making it an ideal material for a range of seals.
Natural sponge rubber is stocked in a variety of grades and thicknesses that are ready for dispatch. Alternatively, following customers' specifications we can cut and shape natural sponge rubber to meet individual requirements.
