Custom-engineered composite seals incorporate a seal and another component in one part to help ease installation and reduce assembly costs. They include complicated parts such as rubber bonded to metal, plastic or filter materials. Composite seals simplify your design with one part instead of two or more, provide tighter tolerances and eliminate the seal to component installation process.

By molding the rubber seal directly to the mating metal or plastic components, a number of benefits are realized including:

Simplification of design: one part instead of two or more

Tighter tolerances: avoidance of tolerance stack-up

Elimination of seal to component installation process: a source of defects and high costs

The Right Sealing Material

We can produce your custom shapes and seals in a wide variety of materials, including:

NBR (Nitrile): Fuel and oil resistance

EPDM (Ethylene-Propylene): Weather and ozone resistance, water seals

FKM (Fluorocarbon): Chemical resistance, low outgassing, high-temperature

CR (Chloroprene): Some oil and weather resistance, Freon applications

VMQ (Silicone): Low and high temperature resistance

FVMQ (Fluorosilicone): Fuel resistance, low and high temperature resistance

FFKM (Perfluoroelastomer): Highest chemical resistance
