 Engineered for Tough Conditions – Built for Borneo

RUBASIA RUBBERTECH INDUSTRIES’ Rectangular & Square EPDM Sponge Strips are precision-engineered to perform in extreme tropical environments. Made from closed-cell EPDM sponge rubber, these strips provide long-term sealing, insulation, cushioning, and vibration absorption in applications exposed to sunlight, humidity, rainwater, salt air, and temperature variation — conditions commonly found throughout Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei.

 DETAILED PRODUCT FEATURES & PERFORMANCE ADVANTAGES

 1. 100% Closed-Cell Waterproof Structure

• Each EPDM sponge strip is made with a closed-cell foam matrix, meaning every microscopic cell is completely sealed.
• This structure prevents air, water, dust, and vapor from passing through, making the strip fully waterproof and weatherproof.
• Ideal for outdoor use in marine, automotive, construction, and HVAC applications across Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Miri, and Bandar Seri Begawan.

→ Benefit: Ensures airtight and watertight protection even under compression or long-term exposure to rain and moisture.

 2. Superior Weather, UV & Ozone Resistance

• EPDM rubber is inherently resistant to ozone cracking, UV degradation, and oxidation.
• Even under direct sunlight, salt-laden wind, or monsoon humidity, it retains its elasticity and does not crack, harden, or shrink.
• Performs exceptionally in coastal areas like Sandakan, Tawau, Muara, and Kuala Belait.

→ Benefit: Outperforms natural rubber and neoprene in outdoor and coastal environments.

 3. Wide Temperature Range Performance

• Functions effectively between -40°C and +120°C, and can tolerate short-term spikes up to 150°C.
• Maintains flexibility at low temperatures and stability at high heat.
• Perfect for use in industrial facilities, vehicle engine compartments, and rooftop structures.

→ Benefit: Long-term performance in both hot equatorial days and air-conditioned or refrigerated systems.

 4. Excellent Elastic Recovery & Compression Set Resistance

• Designed to return to its original shape after being compressed.
• Prevents permanent deformation even after years of sealing cycles or mechanical stress.
• Ideal for repeated door closures, vibration-damping mounts, or gasket interfaces.

→ Benefit: Maintains a consistent seal for long-term installations, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

 5. High Tensile Strength & Structural Integrity

• Despite being a soft sponge material, EPDM sponge strips exhibit superior tensile strength (up to 1.0 MPa).
• Can endure mechanical stress, stretching, and abrasion without tearing or surface damage.
• Suitable for machine housings, HVAC equipment, electrical enclosures, and automotive compartments.

→ Benefit: A reliable mechanical seal that doesn’t rip or crumble under industrial usage.

 6. Sound & Vibration Dampening Properties

• The closed-cell EPDM sponge structure naturally absorbs mechanical vibrations and airborne noise.
• Ideal for use in machinery rooms, factory floors, vehicle cabins, or generator panels.
• Commonly installed in industrial zones of Miri, Bintulu, Sibu, Kuching, and Kota Kinabalu.

→ Benefit: Reduces noise, rattling, and mechanical fatigue, creating quieter and smoother operation.

 7. Non-Conductive & Electrically Insulated

• EPDM sponge is a non-conductive material, making it safe for electrical insulation in panels and equipment.
• Used in switchboards, HVAC ducting, and air-conditioning insulation systems.

→ Benefit: Prevents short-circuits, corrosion, and electrical hazards.

 8. Chemical & Corrosion Resistance

• Excellent resistance to oxidation, mild acids, alkalis, detergents, and environmental chemicals.
• Does not degrade when in contact with coolant, detergent mist, or industrial solvents.
• Suitable for marine docks, chemical plants, food factories, and offshore environments.

→ Benefit: Ensures chemical stability even in aggressive or polluted environments.

 9. Mold, Fungus, and Bacteria Resistant

• EPDM sponge does not absorb water, eliminating conditions that promote mold or fungus growth.
• Ideal for coastal, humid, and enclosed environments — such as Keningau, Papar, Seria, and Tutong.

→ Benefit: Maintains hygienic performance and prevents unpleasant odors.

 10. Easy Fabrication, Cutting, and Installation

• Lightweight, flexible, and simple to work with — can be cut to any length or shape.
• Optional self-adhesive backing allows for peel-and-stick installation on smooth surfaces.
• Can be bonded with silicone adhesive or mechanically fixed with clamps or fasteners.

→ Benefit: Quick, convenient installation for contractors and maintenance teams on-site.

 11. Excellent Dimensional Stability

• Minimal shrinkage or expansion over time, even with temperature fluctuations.
• Maintains accurate dimensions for precision sealing applications in curtain walls, enclosures, and machined joints.

→ Benefit: Guarantees tight tolerances and consistent sealing performance over years of service.

 12. Optional Flame-Retardant Formulation

• Available in fire-retardant EPDM sponge grades that meet FMVSS 302 or UL 94 standards.
• Designed for transportation, marine, and electrical cabinet use.

→ Benefit: Enhances safety where fire resistance and low smoke generation are required.

 RUBASIA’s Product Quality & Consistency

All EPDM sponge strips are produced under strict manufacturing control using precision extrusion and foaming technology to ensure:

• Uniform density and texture across every roll.
• Smooth surface finish for professional installations.
• Stable physical and mechanical performance in all climates.

Every batch is tested for compression recovery, tensile strength, and weather resistance, ensuring dependable quality for every roll delivered across Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei.
