EPDM sponge rubber black square profile
excellent weather resistance (UV / ozone resistant) & aging resistance (long-lived)
The EPDM sponge rubber consists of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber, is a terpolymeric elastomer and is the most commonly used rubber compound for many outdoor applications. The sponge rubber is produced (extruded) in a special process (expansion) into a sponge rubber foam and has a predominantly open-cell structure with a closed outer skin. The rubber compound is characterized by a very good weather resistance and ozone resistance and is extremely durable, due to the very good aging resistance. Resistance to diluted chemicals, acids and alkalis is good.
The sponge rubber is a foam in the commercial hardness or density and adapts under light pressure immediately and very well to uneven surfaces. The good recovery behavior (i.e., the material returns to its original shape) allows for optimal sealing. A compression of the material from 30% to max. 50% before sealing is recommended, with a compression of more than 50% damaging the material structure and greatly reducing the recovery behavior.
