7. FAQ
Q: What is the main difference between your high density and standard density foam tubing?
A: The primary difference is in compression resistance and durability. Our high density foam rubber tubing offers a denser cell structure, resulting in a higher load-bearing capacity, better resistance to crushing, and a lower compression set. This makes it ideal for permanent, heavy-duty sealing applications.
Q: Can this tubing be used for outdoor applications?
A: Absolutely. Our standard XLPE formulation offers excellent resistance to UV radiation, ozone, and a wide range of weather conditions. For extreme environments, we offer special UV-stabilized and weather-resistant compounds.
Q: Do you offer tubing with adhesive backing?
A: Yes. We can provide our tubing with a variety of pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) backings, such as acrylic or rubber-based, protected by a release liner. This feature significantly simplifies installation and improves seal integrity.
Q: What are the minimum order quantities (MOQs) for custom sizes or colors?
A: For standard items, MOQs are low and flexible. For custom formulations, sizes, or colors, we work with clients to establish practical MOQs based on tooling and production parameters. Contact our sales team with your specifications for a tailored quote.
Q: How do I select the correct density and size for my application?
A: The selection depends on the required compression force, the gap to be sealed, and environmental factors. Our technical team is ready to assist you. Please provide details such as joint design, compression percentage, temperature range, and media exposure for a precise recommendation.
