When PVC and Nitrile are combined by polymerisation, they product is a soft, closed cell sponge rubber which needs a low deflection force to create a seal.

Properties

• Excellent resistance to acid, fuel & oil,
• Density: 60 – 130 Kg/m³
• Soft
• Poor compression set
• Ozone resistant
• Temperature range from +85°C  to - 50°C.
• Fire Retardant to BS476 pt. 6 & 7 Class O.

Typical Uses:

• Oil Seals,
• Cushioning,
• Vibration Dampening
• Shock Absorption
• Pipe Lagging
• Thermal Insulation
• Construction Applications
• Medical Applications

The foams can be supplied with or without a self adhesive backing and can be cut into coils for sealing tapes.

Super-Soft PVC/Nitrile Sponge Rubber

A new semi-closed cell version has been developed as an alternative to Nitto and Armacell grades. The product is a standard PVC/Nitrile sponge rubber and the cells have been crushed to open some of them up to create a soft low compression seal product.

Properties:

• Density is approx. 90 Kg/m³
• Excellent Air & UV resistance
• Poor oil resistance
• Good Acid resistance
• Ultra soft with little compression required to deform it.

Typical Uses:

• Sealing of Air Conditioning Ducts
• Areas for superior water tightness
• Instrument panel mounting
• Windscreen mounting
• Mirror mounting
• Centre Pillar Mounts
• Seals where uneven surfaces are present
