Key Features for Sealing Applications 

• Superior Water Resistance: The closed-cell nature of Softlon means it does not absorb water, preventing moisture from penetrating the core of the material. This ensures its long-term integrity and performance in wet or humid environments. 

• Specialized Skin Coat: Certain grades of Softlon are manufactured with special surface skin. This “skin coat” acts as an additional barrier, dramatically improving surface water tightness and preventing water from leaking through the material’s surface, even under pressure. 

• Durability and Resilience: Softlon’s robust physical properties allow it to withstand repeated compression and release, ensuring the seal remains effective over its lifespan without losing its shape or elasticity. 

• Excellent Gasketing Performance: The material conforms easily to irregular surfaces, creating a tight and reliable seal that protects sensitive components from water, dust, and other contaminants. 

• Lightweight: Unlike many traditional sealing materials, Softlon is extremely lightweight, making it an excellent choice for applications where weight reduction is a priority. 

• Chemical Resistance: Softlon is highly resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including oils, solvents, and acids, ensuring its performance is not compromised by exposure to common automotive or industrial fluids. 

• Easy Conversion: The foam can be easily fabricated into custom shapes and sizes using methods like die-cutting and waterjet-cutting, allowing for precise and complex gasket designs.
