UV and ozone exposure
Outdoor rubber materials need resistance to weathering so the seal remains functional over its service life.
Solutions / Outdoor Equipment & Building Sealing
Weather-resistant sealing for outdoor equipment and building interfaces.
BISCOTECH supplies EPDM rubber, silicone foam, CR foam and PU foam for weather sealing, cushioning, insulation and protection in outdoor applications.

Application challenge
Outdoor seals must stay resilient through changing weather.
Outdoor weather sealingOutdoor equipment, doors, windows and building interfaces face rain, sunlight, ozone, temperature changes, dust and repeated movement. A reliable seal needs to maintain contact and recover after long-term compression.
BISCOTECH helps select practical foam and rubber materials, then converts them into strips, frames, pads and gaskets for equipment and building assembly.
Key pain points
Material durability matters when the seal cannot stay protected.
Water and dust ingress
Compressible gaskets help close uneven interfaces around cabinets, doors, windows and equipment housings.
Temperature changes
Expansion, contraction and thermal cycling require materials with suitable recovery and dimensional stability.
Installation repeatability
Slit rolls, adhesive backing and die-cut parts help installers place seals accurately and efficiently.
EPDM Rubber

PU FoamMaterial options
Materials matched to exposure and interface design.
01
EPDM Rubber
For ozone, UV, water and aging resistance in outdoor equipment, door, window and building seals.
02
Silicone Foam
For temperature stability, compression recovery and flame-retardant sealing around demanding equipment.
03
CR Foam
For weather resistance, oil resistance, mechanical strength and cushioning in industrial outdoor assemblies.
04
PU Foam
For soft gap filling, dust sealing and cushioning where the part is protected inside an assembly.

Application example
Example: a weather seal for an outdoor equipment housing.
Requirement
An outdoor equipment housing may need a gasket that could handle weather exposure while remaining easy to install around the perimeter.
Proposed approach
Review the joint profile, compression space, outdoor exposure, adhesive requirement and installation process, then compare EPDM and silicone foam.
Sample validation
Discuss a similar requirement Prepare candidate samples to evaluate fit, compression recovery and adhesive compatibility. Check performance under the intended operating conditions before confirming the material and production format.
FAQ
Common questions about outdoor sealing materials.
Is EPDM suitable for long-term outdoor sealing?
EPDM is often selected for outdoor applications because of its resistance to ozone, ultraviolet exposure, water and aging. Final selection should also consider the joint design, compression and operating environment.
Can you supply continuous strips and custom gaskets?
Yes. We can provide slit rolls, adhesive-backed strips, die-cut frames, pads and custom shapes based on your drawing or profile.
What information is useful for a weather seal quote?
Please share the profile or drawing, thickness, compression range, exposure conditions, adhesive requirement, installation method and estimated quantity.
