Raw materials

Rubber profiles

Rubber is a sealing material that has maintained its traditional status as a quality choice. Its features make it suitable for many different applications in, for example, the vehicle, construction, and mechanical engineering industries.

The most popular rubber types include EPDM, EPDM sponge rubber, CR, NBR, and NR/SBR.

TPE profiles

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) has properties that are similar to those of rubber. With TPE, it is possible to manufacture combination products that incorporate both soft and hard elements. The latest techniques allow us to control very hard types, as well, which enables us to implement and mechanically install new product solutions with ease. It is possible to manufacture profiles in many different colours. Also, TPE is a recyclable material.

Silicone profiles

Silicone rubber is an excellent material for demanding conditions. It is highly resistant to the weather and heat. Silicone profiles are an excellent choice for the construction and metal industries. It is possible to manufacture profiles in all colours on the RAL colour chart.
