High-Quality Foam Gaskets for Modern Industrial Applications
Stephens Gaskets manufactures a complete range of premium foam gaskets designed for sealing, insulation and vibration control across industrial, automotive, HVAC and engineering environments. We supply precision-cut gaskets tailored to the needs of both large-scale operations and specialist applications.
Our foam gaskets are produced using reliable, high-performance materials and state-of-the-art cutting machinery, ensuring consistent quality, accuracy and durability.
Open Cell and Closed Cell Foam Gaskets
We manufacture both open cell foam gaskets and closed cell sponge gaskets, giving customers complete flexibility depending on the sealing and environmental requirements.
1. Open Cell Foam Gaskets
- Soft, highly compressible structure.
- Excellent air and sound absorption.
- Suitable for cushioning, filtering and low-pressure sealing.
2. Closed Cell Foam Gaskets
- Exceptional water and air sealing.
- Resistant to moisture ingress.
- Ideal for HVAC systems, outdoor equipment, enclosures and general industrial sealing.
Closed cell variants are especially valued for their ability to maintain a tight seal under pressure and resist environmental exposure.
What Foam Gaskets Do
Foam gaskets act as a flexible seal between two surfaces where movement, vibration or potential leakage may occur.
They:
- Prevent liquid and air leakage.
- Absorb vibration and noise.
- Fill irregular gaps between components.
- Improve equipment longevity.
- Support temperature insulation.
Foam materials are more compressible than solid rubber, making them an excellent option for applications requiring adaptable and forgiving sealing solutions.
Key Benefits of Foam Gaskets
Foam gaskets offer engineering and operational advantages such as:
- Lightweight construction.
- High compressibility.
- Ease of shaping into complex designs.
- Fire-retardant options.
- Conductive or non-conductive variants.
- Superior sound absorption.
- 100% recyclable material choices.
Their versatility means that foam gaskets can be used for everything from insulation and spacing to moisture sealing and mechanical cushioning.
Material Options: Neoprene, EPDM & Polyethylene Foam
Stephens Gaskets manufactures foam gaskets in the most trusted industrial materials, including:
- Neoprene: excellent sealing against water and air.
- EPDM: outstanding weather, ozone and temperature resistance.
- Polyethylene foams: lightweight and available in multiple colours.
These materials support reliable sealing in challenging environments with varying temperatures, pressures and exposure levels.
Custom Foam Gaskets Made to Your Exact Specification
We manufacture foam gaskets in a wide range of sizes, shapes and thicknesses – the most common being 1.5mm to 25mm. Customers can specify:
- Internal cut-outs (round, square, oval).
- External shapes.
- Thickness and density.
- Material type.
- Hardness.
- Colours.
- Self-adhesive backing options.
Every gasket is produced using advanced cutting equipment and verified by experienced technicians to ensure precision and consistency.
Where Foam Gaskets Are Used
Foam gaskets are widely utilised in:
- HVAC systems.
- Electrical enclosures.
- Automotive components.
- Packaging and insulation.
- Industrial machinery.
- Water and air sealing applications.
Their compressibility and lightweight structure make them suitable for both heavy-duty environments and sensitive equipment.
