Custom-made sealing profiles from in-house production

Sealing profiles by EMKA Sealing technology is a core business of EMKA. The company is an expert in extruding rubber and plastic profiles with its own production plants in Spain and England. EMKA produces more than 1,500 seals and rubber profiles made of various materials as catalogue standard as well as countless individual customer solutions after detailed consultation with our sealing experts. Loops and roll editing tape, stamped steel and reinforcements of textile fibres can be additionally incorporated. For subsequent processing we can also manufacture fixed lengths, rings and corner frames....

Materials In addition to the base material, many characteristics influence the function and quality of the seal. These include elasticity, residual compression and resistance to chemicals, heat and environmental influences. EMKA mainly uses the materials EPDM, NBR and silicone. The materials PVC, TPE and CR are also used. Very good resistance to aging UV resistance Very good resistance to weathering Very good resistance to ozone Very good electrical insulation properties Resistant to alcohols and diluted acids (e.g. brake fluids) Application range -40° C to +100° C Special EPDM compounds also...

Processing options Glueing The most simple process is to glue two profile ends. For all rings, vent holes are strongly recommended as the compression force increases in a closed ring. A better solution to glueing two profiles is film vulcanisation. Film vulcanising Film vulcanising is a permanent and durable process. A foil of the same material is inserted between the profile ends that are to be vulcanised. The required time for film vulcanising is longer than for glueing. Injection moulding Injection moulding means formed corners and end injection moulding. Injection molding is e.g. a process...

Cutting to length Upon customer request, profiles can be cut and packed online - i.e. in the running production line - or subsequently to lengths between 5 - 500 cm. Angled cuts, mitre cuts and notches are also possible. Application of adhesive tape The toolless mounting by gluing sealing profiles is used for more and more applications. Joining very different materials as well as low-stress bonding by means of large-area glued joints are major advantages here. Double-sided adhesive tapes can be applied subsequently for the respective application. Coating The natural, high friction coefficients...
