The Sponge Dock Seal is engineered with high-density, open-cell polyurethane foam, providing exceptional compression recovery and a long service life. Its flexible nature allows it to conform perfectly to the contours of a truck trailer, creating an airtight and weatherproof barrier. This design prevents the loss of conditioned air, keeps out dust, rain, and insects, and enhances the safety of the loading area for personnel. The exterior is typically covered with a heavy-duty, weather-resistant nylon or polyester scrim fabric, which can be treated for UV resistance and flame retardancy. The core benefits of the Sponge Dock Seal include significant energy savings, improved working conditions, and protection of goods from spoilage or damage during the loading and unloading process.
