About SEDO Chemicals
SEDO Chemicals Neoprene GmbH is a manufacturer of closed-cell sponge rubber in a wide range of grades, headquartered in Fürstenwalde/Spree near Berlin. Based on CR rubber (Neoprene), SBR/NR and EPDM, the company produces materials that are mixed to in-house formulations, extruded and vulcanized under heat. The vulcanized blocks are split into layers and can be supplied as block goods, sheets from 1.5 mm thickness, rolls up to 4.0 mm, cut pieces and die-cut parts. In addition, the Fürstenwalde site offers lamination with textiles (also on customer-supplied material), perforation, embossing in coarse and fine grids as well as printing. SEDO sponge rubber is used, among other things, in outdoor and sporting goods, medicine and orthopedics, water sports, safety and firefighting apparel, industry (gaskets, kick rubber, conveyor belts), aerospace and design. Founded in Berlin in 1984, the company produces exclusively in Germany and typically delivers within 14 days from a minimum lot size of 1.
