What is Sorbo Rubber?
Many of the sponge materials offered by ASG are closed cell, however Sorbo rubber is an open cell material. Open cell industrial sponge is a natural rubber sponge materials are manufactured in roll form, recognisable by it’s patterned skin and the open cell structure which gives it excellent compression recovery properties and allows for the circulation of gases and fluids in applications that require it. These rolls of material are very versatile and can be supplied in smaller sized rolls cut down to order or in pre-cut finished components to suit each customer's needs and applications.
Why use Sorbo Rubber
Sorbo rubber is a fairly heavy duty and robust material, even though it is manufactured to be soft and compressible, with excellent compression recovery properties. Open cell natural industrial sponge rubber is pre-manufactured and stocked in a range of standard roll lengths and thicknesses, ready for despatch or conversion into small rolls, sheets or finished cut parts.
Customers will often take this material in full rolls as it allows them to cut their own parts as and when required. Parts cut from open cell natural industrial sponge rubber offer good anti-vibration and acoustic absorption, resistance to weathering and ozone and can be used for seal between uneven surfaces, as protective packaging and as noise reducing floor strips.
Benefits of using Sorbo Rubber
- excellent compression recovery properties.
- seal around uneven or complex shapes
- interconnected cell structures also allow for the limited absorption
- circulation of gases and fluids
- Good anti-vibration properties
- Good weathering & ozone resistance
Other Grades of Sponge Material Available
- EPDM - medium, firm, semi-open cell, high temperature
- Neoprene - FR, medium, firm
- Silicone
- Polyurethane
The Advantages of Using Sorbo Rubber
Using open cell natural sponge rubber offers numerous advantages, it's a soft- feel material with an open cell structure allowing the material to be used in applications where resistance to fluids is only required when a surface coating is applied, otherwise it will still slow for moisture absorption, allowing for the circulation of moisture and gas when the application requires it.
Open cell natural sponge rubber is available in a range of thicknesses, all offering excellent compression recovery particularly when it’s used for repetitive loading and distortion applications such as packaging and expansion joint sealing, it also has excellent sound and vibration absorption properties making it perfect for use in flooring systems mainly as joist isolation tapes.
