Low-hardness rubber profiles
Exonel extrudes soft rubber profiles from about 20 Shore A, for joints that have to seal without much closing force. The section is cut to your drawing and the compound is formulated for the temperature and the environment the seal works in.
Figures are indicative and are confirmed for your application before tooling.
Seals that close under light pressure.
Light closing force
A soft section compresses under a light catch or a few small screws, so a thin door or lid still seals without being pulled tight.
Takes up an uneven face
Soft rubber follows a flange that is not flat and fills the gap a harder section would bridge.
Protects what it seals against
Thin sheet, glass and painted faces take less load from a soft section than from a stiff one.
Cushions and damps
The same softness absorbs rattle and small movement between two parts.
Cut to your drawing.
P and D sections
Bulb profiles for door, lid and panel sealing, with a flat leg for bonding or clamping.
U-channel and edge trim
Pushed onto a sheet edge to seal and to cover the cut edge.
Cord and tube
Round solid cord and soft tube for simple gaskets and gap filling.
Flat strip
Soft strip for sealing, cushioning and anti-rattle use.
Typical applications.
Light enclosures and covers
Doors, lids and access panels that close on a catch rather than a bolted flange.
Lighting and luminaires
Soft gaskets that seal a fitting without distorting a lens or a thin housing.
Machine guards and panels
Edge sealing and anti-rattle strip between sheet-metal parts.
Gap filling
Soft sections that take up variation between two assembled parts.
