PVC Foam Gaskets

Product specification

Material and function

PVC foam is used for resilient cushioning, gap filling and sealing. Choose density, thickness and adhesive backing for the operating temperature, surface and compression; any flame rating depends on the particular grade and test conditions.

Benefits and options

• Cushioning and gap filling
• Closed-cell grades for sealing
• Adhesive and density selection

Manufacturing and customization

Sheets and suitable foams can be precision converted into gasket outlines. Molding is considered where the geometry needs a three-dimensional seal. Choose the cutting route and adhesive backing for the material and shape.

Design considerations

Select the material grade for contact media, operating temperature and mechanical loading. Include the installed compression, mating surfaces and expected service conditions when reviewing the component. Confirm performance using the selected compound and a representative sample.
