About EPDM Sponge Tube
EPDM Sponge Tube is widely acclaimed among our customers owing to its resilience and longevity. This sponge tube is a high-quality, closed-cell material that is widely used to create an air and watertight seal. It is a great material for use in outdoor sealing applications. It can endure UV rays and extreme heat, therefore, this product is suitable for high-temperature applications. EPDM Sponge Tube does not degrade in quality or become inferior in the long run.
Exceptional Material PerformanceManufactured from top-quality EPDM sponge rubber, this tube exhibits high resistance to ozone, UV rays, weathering, chemicals, and aging. Its smooth, closed-cell structure ensures a lightweight yet durable profile that preserves flexibility and performance across a wide temperature range (-40C to +120C, short term up to +150C).
Optimum Customization and VersatilityEPDM sponge tubes are available in a variety of widths (5100 mm), diameters (1050 mm standard), and wall thicknesses (230 mm), with options for custom sizes on request. This versatility makes them suitable for several applications, from pipeline protection to advanced insulation and weather-stripping in automotive and industrial environments.
Reliable Sealing and InsulationThe tube is designed to deliver high restoration after compression (>65%) and a superior compression ratio (2030%). Its optimal thermal conductivity (0.0350.055 W/mK) and water absorption below 5% assure lasting performance and electrical insulation, crucial for efficient sealing and protection of cables, pipes, and ducts.
FAQs of EPDM Sponge Tube:
Q: How is the EPDM Sponge Tube typically used in industrial and automotive applications?
A: EPDM Sponge Tubes are widely used for sealing, insulation, weather stripping, vibration damping, and protecting pipes, cables, or ducts. Thanks to their flexibility, resilience, and resistance properties, they are ideal in machinery, HVAC systems, vehicles, and other demanding environments where secure and lasting protection is essential.
Q: What are the benefits of using an EPDM Sponge Tube compared to standard rubber tubes?
A: The EPDM Sponge Tube stands out due to its excellent resistance to ozone, UV rays, and weathering, along with its superior electrical insulation and mechanical flexibility. These advantages ensure longer service life, reliable performance under harsh conditions, and lower maintenance requirements than ordinary rubber tubes.
Q: When should I choose a customized EPDM Sponge Tube size or thickness?
A: Custom sizes should be selected when your specific sealing or insulation application requires tailored dimensions for a precise fit. Customization is particularly valuable for unique equipment components, specialized ducts, or non-standard pipe diameters, ensuring optimal performance and secure sealing.
Q: Where can this EPDM Sponge Tube be effectively installed?
A: It can be effectively installed in industrial machinery, HVAC systems, automobiles, electrical panels, and any setting that requires robust sealing, insulation, or vibration damping. The tubes weatherproof and flexible nature also makes it suitable for outdoor and indoor environments alike.
Q: What is the process for installing an EPDM Sponge Tube?
A: Installation involves measuring the required length and diameter, cutting the tube to fit, and then positioning it around the component to be sealed or insulated. The tubes flexibility and surface grip simplify application, and its shape retention ensures a secure, long-lasting seal.
Q: How does the high compression set recovery of the tube ensure optimal sealing performance?
A: With a restoration after compression greater than 65%, the EPDM Sponge Tube maintains its shape and continues to provide an effective seal even after repeated compressive stress. This attribute is vital for applications where pressure or sealing force varies regularly.
