Pure Gum Rubber

Pure gum rubber is unfilled natural rubber offering maximum elasticity and stretch — ideal for low-pressure sealing where the gasket must conform closely to irregular or lightly loaded surfaces. We stock pure gum sheet in thin gauges for delicate sealing, diaphragm, and packaging applications.
