Open Cell Neoprene Sponge Rubber

A key feature of our open cell epdm sponge is the materials unique cell structure.

Open cell neoprene sponge rubber.

Foam is usually classified as open cell when more than half of its cells are open. Closed cell foam is created by forcing gas into the foam while in a liquid state. This form of neoprene sponge is defined by the relative isolation of the gaseous pockets within the material. Due to this important structural difference closed cell foam rubber normally has higher compressive strengths and lower absorption rates.

Despite being referred to as an open cell material this product actually utilises a semi closed cell structure. This causes the formation of thousands of tiny bubbles each one completely sealed off from the ones around it. This enables it to combine the physical characteristics of a fully open cell material with the sealing capabilities of a closed cell material. Closed cell sponge rubber is created by distributing gas through the rubber during production creating sealed air pockets within the rubber rubber cal closed cell sponge rubber neoprene 1 8 in.

Open cell foam is a rubber like product made by incorporating an inflating agent such as sodium bicarbonate into the rubber compound. With a great compression rate it can also handle physical abrasions and oil very well. Need help call 1 844 rubber 4. Open cell foam foam is commonly divided into two types of rubber based on cellular structure.
