Material
RGC 749 consists of a foamed mixture of chloroprene rubber and cork.

Properties
Due to its structure, this material – which is resistant to oils and fatigue – features high compressibility combined with dimensional stability and extremely high recovery.

Application
For gaskets and pads with very low sealing pressure, e.g. to seal switchgear and air conditioning units.
  • for sealing against spray water
  • excellent resistance to ozone and humidity
