CB Frost Rubber & Plastics

Don't risk leaks or damaged enclosures by choosing the wrong gasket material! 🛑

Did you know that solid rubber doesn't actually compress? It deflects. Because it lacks air pockets, it requires massive pressure to create a seal, making it perfect for heavy machinery and pipe flanges.

But what if you need to seal a delicate electronic enclosure, an HVAC unit, or an uneven gap? That is where sponge gaskets shine. Their cellular structure allows them to squash down easily to keep out dust and moisture, using very little closure force.

Did you know CB Frost is the largest UK preferred converter of Rogers Corporation BISCO® Silicone materials? 🇬🇧

We are incredibly proud to partner with a global leader like Rogers Corporation. Being their top UK converter means we have the direct expertise, the largest stock, and the advanced manufacturing capabilities to supply your projects with the world's most reliable silicone foams and solid rubbers.

Every great project starts with the right foundation! 🛠️✨

In manufacturing and design, that foundation is often the materials you choose for sealing, insulation, and cushioning. The wrong choice can lead to leaks, rattles, or part wear.

That’s where we come in! At CB Frost, we combine a massive range of top-tier materials (like EPDM, Neoprene, and bespoke Silicone sponges) with expert, in-house manufacturing capabilities. No matter how complex your application is, we have the materials and the skills to get it right the first time.

Are you specifying the right gasket for your next project? 🤔

While solid rubber is perfect for high-pressure, flat surfaces, sponge gaskets are your best bet for uneven gaps and low closure forces. Learn exactly when to use which in our latest blog!

HVAC airflow efficiency starts with the right seal

When it comes to modern buildings and transport, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, you can't afford to lose energy through poorly sealed ducting or rattling enclosures. We manufacture custom gaskets and seals that keep HVAC systems running smoothly, quietly, and efficiently.
