Product Overview

RS-840 is a very firm silicone sponge that retains the lightness of a foam while exhibiting enhanced sealing capabilities of a traditional sponge rubber. RS-840 is an alternative to HT-840.

Typical Applications:
• Environmental seals to protect against penetration of dust, moisture, air, or light within outdoor enclosures such as lightning features, HVAC units, and electronic cabinets
• Enclosures requiring a more durable, high closure force gasket
• Press pads requiring greater conformability and even pressure distribution at high temperatures

Product Features & Benefits:
• Temperature independency
• UV/Ozone resistant
• Good compression set resistance
