Cellular Rubber

 

Cellular rubber, unlike its solid counterpart, is often a blend of two or three different polymers. This unique composition allows it to embody the distinct properties of each polymer, creating a material that is greater than the sum of its parts. The process of creating sponge rubber involves the addition of blowing agents, which expand and create a cellular structure within the material, giving it its characteristic sponge-like texture.

 

 

The cells in cellular rubber can be open or closed, a practical characteristic that helps determine if your sponge rubber will work in a liquid-tight application or keep out dust, dirt, and moisture. This versatility makes Cellular Rubber products a reliable choice, found in almost all markets and products today. Examples include on—and off-road vehicles, medical devices, LCDs, electronics, appliances, and filtration products.

Key Applications
  • Filtration
  • Sound Abatement
  • Low Compression Force Gasket
