Kimoto Rubber Sponge Sheet

Product Made in Japan
Manufacturer: Kimoto
Model: Rubber Sponge Sheet

Features

It is a sheet made by kneading foam material into the raw material rubber. Rubber sponges have two types of bubbles: closed bubbles with independent bubbles and semi-continuous bubbles with semi-continuous bubbles. In addition, there are various materials and hardness like rubber sheets, so you can choose according to your application.

Closed-cell rubber sponge

Each bubble is a closed-cell synthetic rubber sponge covered with a rubber film. It is resilient and has good thermal insulation.
Depending on the type of rubber, it has properties such as flame retardancy (CR) and chemical resistance (EPDM). There are also product variants such as sulphur-free and ultra-low sulfur (EPDM).

feature
Lightweight and tough
It is light and has excellent performance in tear strength.
Thermal insulation
It has low thermal conductivity and excellent performance as a heat insulation material.
Non-absorbable
Due to the closed-cell structure, the absorbency is extremely low.

Sulfur-free, ultra-low-sulfur, low-sulfur rubber sponge

(Closed-cell rubber sponge)

Rubber sponges usually use “sulfur” as a method of cross-linking rubber, but some EPDM rubber sponges are cross-linked with “peroxide”. We also handle foams with a low sulfur content.

Low sulfur component = less likely to corrode metals (copper, iron, aluminum, etc.)!

Copper Plate Corrosion Test

Test Condition
1. Specimens… EP-101 (ultra-low sulfur), OP-130 (sulfur vulcanized)
2. Test Method… Corrosion and stickiness test on copper plate
(JIS B 2403:1995 compliant)

Copper plate after the test
* The scratches are made by polishing the copper plate, and other copper plates have similar scratches.

No discoloration of ultra-low sulfur can be confirmed.EP-101 (ultra-low sulfur) No
discoloration can be confirmed.
There is no stickiness.

Low sulfur discoloration is slightOP-130 (sulfur vulcanized) has
a slight black discoloration overall.
There is no stickiness.

Sulfur-freeIf no sulfur inclusions are used and not detected in the measurement.
Ultra-low sulfurLike sulfur-free, it does not use sulfur-containing substances, and if black carbon is used, although it has not been detected in measurements. or if a value of less than 0.02% (200 ppm) is detected.
Low sulfurWhen sulfur powder is not used and a value of 0.02% (200 ppm) or more and less than 0.3% (3,000 ppm) is detected.

Semi-continuous cellular rubber sponge

It is a foam made of synthetic rubber as a base material and made into a semi-continuous bubble state. It is highly flexible and can be compressed with a slight force. It fits smoothly on uneven areas. EPDM-based, NBR/PVC-based, which is resistant to acid and alkali, and has excellent heat resistance and oil resistance. There are product variations such as acrylic rubber that is low sulfur and does not emit white Mr./Ms..

useIt is used as a joint material and sealing material in civil engineering and construction, electrical equipment, automobiles, etc.
In addition, it is also used as crevice tape and anti-slip.

About the processing of rubber sponges

From the above sponges, it is possible to cut and drill to the specified size, apply double-sided tape, and manufacture packing and cushioning materials. We support the selection of materials according to the application and quantity, the proposal of processing methods, manufacturing, and products. Please feel free to contact us.
* Depending on the material, a lot may be required.
