Sealing-less: A durable rubber packing that enables caulking-less applications.
Are you having problems with water sealing using caulking (sealing)? By replacing caulking with a durable rubber packing, you can achieve quantitative water sealing!
Is there a decrease in water-stopping functionality due to a shortage of craftsmen or lack of experience in caulking, leading to water-stopping complaints? We propose the possibility of achieving caulking-free solutions by converting part of the on-site caulking to rubber packing. Additionally, by using sponge rubber that incorporates a high resilience feature of "not deforming," we can significantly reduce the frequency of caulking reapplication. The EPDM, which is the raw material for rubber sponge, possesses excellent chemical resistance, cold resistance, ozone resistance, and aging resistance. By adding the characteristic of "not deforming" to the inherent elasticity of sponge rubber, it eliminates the need for replacement due to deformation. Furthermore, by developing this concept, it can also be utilized as a "damper material" by leveraging a certain load response. - Features - - High weather resistance due to EPDM (ethylene propylene rubber) - Operating temperature range: -20 to +80°C - Sulfur-free grade with free sulfur measured below the detection limit - Flame retardant/oil-resistant grade (railway flame retardant compliant) * Can be cut to the required length and delivered with adhesive tape - Instantly restores from a compressed state - High shape retention - Extremely low permanent deformation strain - Soft sponge suitable for a wide range of applications
basic information
It is possible to deliver rubber sponge manufactured by extrusion molding with double-sided tape attached. - SSF: Standard hardness SSF, hardness 20 - SSF-HARD: For areas where particularly high airtightness is required, hardness 30 - SSF-PO: For areas where issues arise due to free sulfur, hardness 15 - SSF-CR: For areas requiring flame retardancy and oil resistance, hardness 20 - SSF-SOFT: For areas that require water sealing with small stress, hardness 2
Price information
Prices vary based on quantity. We can offer a cost difference of about 10-20% compared to standard EPDM. *Basically, the materials are the same, and the "non-sagging" function is achieved through differences in manufacturing methods.

Applications/Examples of results
Examples utilizing the concept of "not becoming deformed": - Gaskets for equipment that are difficult to replace after installation in mountainous or remote areas - Gaskets for parts integrated within equipment that are not easily replaceable - Electrical boxes and distribution boards that lose waterproofing due to deformation (Waterproofing) - Gasket for tsunami barrier doors - Bathroom gaskets for residential equipment (apron water stop, drainage, inspection openings, etc.) - Gaskets for various industrial equipment (Air tightness) - Odor leakage prevention - Paper dust leakage prevention - Air-tight gaskets around doors (Rubber dampers utilizing the elasticity of rubber sponge) - Automotive hood dampers
