Foams, Sponges & Rubber
When choosing the right elastomeric materials for cushioning, sealing and gasketing, there are a number of factors to consider. Compression strength, chemistries and environmental conditions are just a few. That’s why it takes a special combination of analysis, problem-solving and old-fashioned,
real-world experience to identify the best elastomeric materials for a custom project.
