Introduction

We’re going to help you understand what foam rubber is and how it might be the right choice for your application. We’ll also look at the different types of foam rubber products, as well as which type of foam rubber is better for each application.

Natural Rubber Foam

You should consider natural rubber foam for applications that have more moisture. This includes things like flooring, bedding, and other household goods. It’s also a good fit for outdoor products that are exposed to the elements or those that will get wet on a regular basis. It’s important to note that this type of foam is more expensive than others so it may not be ideal for all situations.

In general, you should use this material if your application requires some sort of waterproofing (such as in bath mats). They’re great at absorbing moisture while still maintaining their shape over time.

Closed Cell Foam Rubber

Closed cell foam rubber is a great choice for applications that require moisture resistance and shock absorption.

• Closed cell foam rubber provides the best protection against chemicals, including acids and oils.
• Closed cell foam rubber does not trap water or gases like other kinds of foam. This makes it more durable than open-cell foams, which tend to deteriorate faster when exposed to excessive moisture over time.
• Because closed-cell foam does not absorb liquid, it’s also ideal for use in high-moisture environments such as kitchens and bathrooms (for example, under kitchen sinks or behind toilets), or anywhere where you need a lot of cushioning without sacrificing breathability—such as underneath hardwood floors or on top of concrete slabs outside the house!

Open Cell Foam Rubber

Open cell foam rubber is a porous type of foam rubber. The cells in this type of material are open and gas can be exchanged between the cells. This makes it more absorbent than closed cell foams because it will absorb liquids, oils and other substances easier. This also allows for less expensive pricing but there are some drawbacks to consider when choosing an open cell foam product over closed cell products.

Open cell products tend to have lower density at about 70% – 90% which means that they have less support and are not as durable as closed cell products. They also tend to sag under heavy loads or pressure so they may not work well for heavy duty applications such as truck beds or boats where durability is crucial. Open cell products also have less tensile strength than closed cell products which means that they cannot handle certain types of stress very well and therefore may not hold up against larger loads like furniture pieces or heavy equipment being loaded into trucks/boats/etc., where tensile strength would be needed most! Finally, open cell products do not stand up on their own without support; they need something underneath them so they don’t just collapse under their own weight (e.g., when trying to move a mattress onto a box spring).

Silicone Sponge

If you are working in a clean room, silicone sponge is an excellent choice. Clean rooms require the use of non-combustible materials. Silicone is a chemical that does not burn and does not release any harmful fumes or gases when it burns. It also does not release any toxic ash when burned, unlike other foams such as polyurethane or neoprene rubber.

Silicone sponge can be used for many other applications as well, including outdoor furniture pads and seat cushions. The material itself will keep your furniture looking new longer because it resists tears and stains better than most other forms of foam rubber do.

Neoprene Sponge Foam

Neoprene sponge foam is a closed cell foam rubber. Neoprene sponge foam is ideal for applications where there is more moisture, such as gaskets or padding. It can also be used in clean rooms because it’s flame resistant and meets static electricity requirements.

Natural rubber foam is a great choice for areas with more moisture, while closed cell foam rubber is good for applications like gaskets and padding. Open cell foam rubber can be used in a wider variety of applications. Silicone sponge is flame resistant and better for clean rooms, while neoprene sponge foam has an increased resistance to UV rays and ozone.
