Skip to content EPDM sponge rollers are cylindrical components made from EPDM rubber in a sponge or foam form. These rollers are widely used in various industries for applications such as printing, sealing, insulation, and material handling. The sponge version of EPDM offers excellent compressibility, light weight, and flexibility, making it suitable for delicate applications.
EPDM sponge rollers offer several advantages:
Excellent Weather Resistance: They perform well in outdoor environments, resisting UV rays, ozone, and oxygen degradation.
Good Temperature Tolerance: Typically operational between -40°C and 120°C.
Water Resistance: EPDM sponge does not absorb water, making it ideal for moisture-prone applications.
Chemical Resistance: Resists many acids, alkalis, and detergents.
Durability: The sponge structure ensures a long lifespan and good cushioning effect.
EPDM sponge rollers are used in:
Printing and Paper Industry: For feeding and pressing materials.
Textile Industry: For guiding and tensioning fabrics.
Packaging Machinery: To cushion and handle materials gently.
Automotive Sector: For insulation, sealing, and vibration dampening.
Electronics Manufacturing: In delicate handling and cleaning processes.
While both are made from the same base polymer, EPDM sponge has a cellular structure that makes it softer, lighter, and more compressible than solid EPDM rubber. Solid EPDM is used where more structural strength is required, while sponge EPDM is preferred for its flexibility, cushioning, and sealing capabilities.
Yes. EPDM sponge rollers can be customized in terms of:
Diameter and Length
Hardness (typically measured in Shore C or Asker C)
Core Material (such as aluminum, stainless steel, or plastic)
Surface Finish or Coating
Density and Pore Size
Customization depends on the specific application and operating environment.
Proper maintenance includes:
Regular Cleaning: Use mild soap and water; avoid strong solvents.
Inspection: Check periodically for wear, cracks, or deformities.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or ozone-producing equipment to maintain elasticity and performance.
Not oil-resistant
Lower tensile strength than solid rubber
Can be less durable under high-pressure or high-speed conditions
Not suitable for high-load mechanical applications
