Product Description
Our 10mm EPDM Sponge Foam Rubber Tape is expertly engineered to provide the perfect balance of flexibility and durability, making it an excellent neoprene alternative for various applications. With a density of approximately 120 kg/m³, this tape delivers reliable performance, particularly in demanding environments.
Ideal for Industrial, Automotive, and Construction Uses, the 6mm thickness excels in weatherproofing, sealing, and insulating tasks. Its superior resistance to UV rays, ozone, and environmental wear ensures long-lasting durability.
Why Choose 10mm EPDM Over Neoprene? The 6mm thickness offers optimal cushioning and sealing, while EPDM’s natural resistance to UV damage and aging makes it a superior choice for outdoor and long-term applications. The strong adhesive backing ensures easy installation on various surfaces.
Available Thicknesses: This 10mm EPDM tape is part of our comprehensive range of thicknesses. Each thickness is designed to meet specific needs, from light-duty applications to heavy-duty sealing.

Key Properties:
Made from high-density EPDM rubber, this tape features a closed-cell structure that releases low VOCs and demonstrates excellent resistance to ozone, diluted acids, and alkalis. It maintains good temperature resistance up to 80°C and adapts well to uneven surfaces, offering exceptional aging properties without becoming hard or brittle over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does your EPDM tape compare to neoprene tape?
A: EPDM tape and neoprene tape are both popular for sealing and insulation, but they have some key differences. EPDM tape offers superior resistance to aging, UV rays, ozone, and weathering, making it an excellent choice for outdoor and long-term applications. Neoprene, while also durable, is generally less resistant to these factors, especially UV rays, which can cause it to crack over time. EPDM also has a broader range of temperature resistance and is less likely to degrade when exposed to harsh environmental conditions. For applications where durability, weatherproofing, and longevity are crucial, EPDM is often the better choice.
Neoprene tape can be a better choice in certain situations, particularly where resistance to oils, greases, and certain chemicals is required. Neoprene has excellent resistance to petroleum-based products, making it ideal for use in automotive, marine, and industrial environments where exposure to oils or fuels is common. While EPDM excels in outdoor, weather-resistant applications, neoprene is often preferred in environments with frequent exposure to oils, solvents, and chemicals.
In summary, while both materials have their strengths, for most outdoor and weather-resistant applications, our EPDM tape provides superior performance and longevity.
