Technical Tips

Rubatex sponge rubber products offer customers a highly durable material that is easy to convert or fabricate.

Compared to open cell sponges, our closed cell sponge products provide excellent dimensional stability, low moisture absorption and are higher strength. As such, it is often the sponge rubber of choice for general purpose seal and gasket applications where dust and fluids need to be kept in or out. In addition, to the qualities above our closed cell sponge products are also:

  • Lightweight
