Material requirements for sealing profiles Seals must maintain their elasticity, resisting external influences such as different ambient temperatures, moisture, as well as ultra-violet and ozone degradation. They should be compatible with bonding materials and adjoining surfaces, i.e. they must be suitable for bonding requirements and not contaminate adjoining surfaces through migration. Fire resistance may also be a consideration. The effect of environmental conditions e.g. surface rust, soot, pollen and other contaminates must not impair the sealing function. There are also specific requirements...

Material types Application properties A distinction is made between the following three types of materials for sealing profiles: EPDM Cross-linked through vulcanisation, no flow Physically or chemically cross-linked, rubber elastic, thermoplastic character Cross-linked through vulcanisation, silicone rubber-based, extremely stable thermally very good for black good for light colours very good for all colours Welding work Corner moulding Application temperature range black RAL 9005 silver grey RAL 7001 light grey RAL 7035 papyrus white RAL 9010 Cornering circumference response generally good less...

these materials suitable for varied applications. Materials of hardness grades in the range from 50° to 90° Shore, foamed in different densities, as well as for highly diverse special applications (fire safety, special material compatibilities..) are available. Elastomers (rubber) Elastomers are cross-linked (vulcanised) rubbers with rubber-elastic properties. The properties of elastomers primarily result from the basic features of the cross-linked rubbers. By adding active fillers such as carbon dust and silicic acid, plasticisers, anti-aging agents, activators, processing agents, accelerators...

is a highly-modified thermoplastic vulcanised rubber (TPV) comprising EPDM and PP with very good properties in respect to compression set, thermal and ultraviolet stability as well as resistance to aging and elastic recovery. At the same time, compatibility with all conventional paint systems and acrylic paint systems is ensured. is a specially-modified thermoplastic material of the TPE family with SEBS/polyolefin basis and good properties for use in windows and doors. At the same time, compatibility with all conventional paint systems and acrylic paint systems is ensured. is a highly-modified...

Silicone Silicone elastomers are especially resistant to heat, ozone and aging, and are also able to withstand many chemicals. The mechanical properties (tear propagation resistance) tend to be below those of other elastomers, but are more or less constant over the entire temperature range from -60 to +200 °C. To achieve optimum heat resistance and a low compression set, a secondary tempering will be necessary in many cases. Silicone materials are available for the hardness ranges Shore A 30-85. Application fields: Seals for refrigerators, cookers, drying cabinets, windows and cabin doors of...
