PVC Foam Strip

PVC Foam Strip

At Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd (ASG), we are recognised industry leaders in the production and supply of high-quality PVC foam strips. Backed by advanced manufacturing technology and decades of experience, we create bespoke foam strips tailored precisely to your drawings, samples, or application specifications.

PVC foam strips are just one of thousands of foam and gasket products we produce in-house using our extensive range of machinery — including band saws, strippers, log cutters, and presses. For smaller strip sizes in high production volumes, we also offer kiss-cutting, ensuring a faster turnaround and optimal production efficiency.

Our in-house manufacturing gives us complete control over quality, ensuring every PVC foam strip we produce meets strict performance and durability standards. We stock a range of PVC foam rolls in multiple thicknesses, allowing for quick production and flexible options such as self-adhesive coatings, laminated finishes, or foil backings.

    What Are PVC Foam Strips?

    PVC Foam Strips (also known as foam tapes, foam gasket strips, or foam sealing tapes) are lightweight, closed-cell products manufactured from Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). The material combines flexibility, resilience, and excellent sealing properties, making it one of the most versatile foam types on the market.

    These strips are precision-cut to specific widths and lengths, and can also be supplied as continuous rolls or coils for ease of handling during installation. PVC foam strips are commonly used as gaskets or sealing materials to fill gaps between two surfaces, helping to prevent air, dust, or water ingress while also providing vibration reduction and insulation.

    Why Use PVC Foam Strips?

    PVC foam strips are a highly adaptable sealing and cushioning material suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial uses. Their closed-cell structure makes them airtight, watertight, and resistant to chemicals and environmental exposure.

    These strips are ideal for creating tight seals against dust, moisture, air, and light, while also offering sound and thermal insulation. This makes PVC foam strips a popular choice in industries such as:

    • Automotive: door and window seals, dashboard and lighting seals

    • Construction: window and roofing seals, HVAC insulation

    • Marine: watertight hatches and boat seals

    • Electronics: vibration dampening and component cushioning

    • Heating and ventilation systems: gasket seals for ducts and vents

    Whether you require soft, medium, firm, or fast-recovery foam, ASG can produce PVC foam strips to match your specific performance needs.

    Advantages of Using PVC Foam Strips

    Choosing PVC foam strips from ASG provides a variety of functional and performance benefits, including:

    • Excellent sealing properties against air, dust, water, and light

    • Thermal and acoustic insulation capabilities

    • Resistance to ozone, UV light, solvents, mould, and rot

    • Flexible and lightweight for easy installation

    • Flame retardant to FMVSS 302

    • Available in self-adhesive or laminated finishes

    • Customisable density and recovery rate based on application

    PVC foam strips are widely used for rooflight seals, glazing seals, HVAC insulation, door gaskets, and refrigeration seals, making them one of the most versatile sealing materials available.
