Product Description
Our 5mm high-density EPDM sponge tape (approx. 120 kg/m³) is a robust and versatile option for medium-duty sealing, cushioning, and vibration dampening. The closed-cell foam structure effectively blocks out air, water, dust, and UV, while the strong pressure-sensitive adhesive ensures a reliable bond on clean, smooth surfaces.
At 5mm thick, this tape provides an ideal balance of compressibility and support — making it suitable for medium gaps and general-purpose gasketing in indoor or protected outdoor environments.
Available widths: 10mm to 930mm

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does 5mm EPDM tape compare to neoprene tape?
A: EPDM tape offers superior resistance to UV, ozone, and general weathering, making it ideal for outdoor or long-term use. Neoprene performs better in oily or chemical-rich environments and is often used where resistance to petrol, grease, or solvents is key. For most outdoor sealing applications, EPDM is the more durable, weather-resistant option.
