Description
EPDM sponge foam adhesive backed rolls (10m x 1m) are designed for high-performance sealing, gasketing and vibration control across industrial, automotive and construction applications. Manufactured from closed-cell EPDM rubber, this material provides a reliable, water-tight seal while maintaining flexibility and durability in both indoor and outdoor environments. Explore our full range of Rubber Materials including EPDM, neoprene, and foam sheets for sealing, gasketing and industrial applications.
With a strong acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive backing, installation is quick and secure on most clean surfaces, making it ideal for production, on-site fitting and maintenance work.
For bonding EPDM rubber to metal or other surfaces, we recommend using a high-performance contact adhesive such as Bostik 2402 High Performance Polychloroprene Adhesive Set – 250ml Including Hardener for a strong, long-lasting bond.

⚠️ Installation Guidance
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease or dust before application.
Peel away the release liner and apply with firm, even pressure.
For best results:
- Apply at room temperature
- Allow 24 hours for full adhesive bonding
- Cut easily using a sharp knife or heavy-duty scissors
📏 Choosing the Right Thickness
- 2–4mm → light sealing (windows, small gaps)
- 6–10mm → general sealing & vibration damping
- 15–25mm → heavy-duty gasketing & acoustic insulation
🛒 Why Choose EPDM Sponge Foam?
EPDM sponge foam adhesive backed roll offers a balance of flexibility, durability and environmental resistance that makes it one of the most reliable sealing materials available. Unlike open-cell foam, it does not absorb water, making it ideal for long-term sealing performance in outdoor and exposed conditions.

❓ FAQs
Can EPDM sponge foam be used outdoors?
Yes – it has excellent resistance to UV, ozone and weathering, making it ideal for external sealing applications.
What surfaces does the adhesive stick to?
It adheres best to clean metals, plastics, glass and painted surfaces. Avoid oily or contaminated substrates.
Is EPDM foam waterproof?
Yes – the closed-cell structure prevents water absorption and provides a reliable seal against moisture and air.
