Mounting types The mounting type is a decisive factor in choosing the right profile. The profiles distributed by EMKA offer mounting types for every application. The four standard mounting types are explained and illustrated below. Self-clamping Clamping profile Self-clamping profiles have an internal steel or wire clamping strip in the clamping area, which ensures that the seal is held securely on the sheet edge. Sealing profile The clamping area and the sealing area usually consist of soft rubber in different Shore hardness as well as foam rubber with different density. Depending on the...

Plugged The plugged profile does not have a metal insert and is not glued. It is plugged into a gap or channel between two edges and safely seals the cavity in this way. Window pane Clamped Clamping profiles are ideal for screwless insertion of windows into metal or wood cut-outs. The use of a rubber clamping profile guarantees a firm, durable and rattle-free connection in many types of special vehicles, mobile construction site cabins and large machines. In addition to the filler profile, you can also order the mounting aids from EMKA. Sealing profile Filler profile Glued Bonding...

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. SBR EPDM NBR CR Silicone and others EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) • Very good resistance to aging • UV resistance • Very good resistance to weathering • Good ozone resistance • Very good electrical insulation properties • Resistant to alcohols and diluted...

Silicone • Good elasticity even at very low and high temperatures • Application range between -60 °C and +200 °C • Conditional resistance to oils • Resistance to weathering • Resistance to aging • Resinstance to ozone • UV resistance • Very well suited for medical components • Colour fastness Material overview thermoplastics Resistances (extract) Short name Typical operating temperatures approx. -10 °C to +70 °C temporary approx. -40 °C up to +90 °C Sulphuric acid Water (conc.)

Standards and certifications EMKA sealing profiles are particularly high quality and safe, as shown by numerous certificates according to DIN, VDI, UL or fire protection standards. These play an important role in the use of the seals in order to define their quality or suitability for different applications - also country-specific. The high quality and product standards are ensured by the excellent manufacturing competence and the ISO 9001:2008 certified process control. In principle, the production sites are also certified in accordance with the ISO 14001:2009 and IATF 16949:2016...
