Foam rubber is used in a variety of ways as a sealing material in the form of round cords, square profiles, sheets, or molded parts. Mold vulcanized foam rubber can be produced with a sealed or closed surface.

All foam rubber products, whether molded parts, profiles, or round cords, are impressive due to their high compressive elasticity combined with good resilience. The profile clings firmly to all surrounding surfaces, even under light pressure, providing a reliable seal.

Applications:

• Automotive industry and its suppliers
• Mechanical engineering
• Electrical industry
• Ventilation and air conditioning technology
• Domestic appliance and sanitary technology
• Aerospace and aviation technology

VPA 2- Standard: Foam rubber round cords for the drum and packaging industry

In the packaging industry, many customers use foam rubber round cords with a closed skin for maximum deformation and sealing force at the same time. As foam rubber foams vary greatly in their density and compression set values, the VPA 2 standard exists.

Our EPDM compound is available in two different hardnesses and densities and is also FDA-compliant for use with foodstuffs. Common materials such as NR, with or without SBR blend, are also available from us.”
