Rubber Profiles, Rings and Frames

Hoses, Profiles, Rings and Frames

For technical applications in industry, local authorities, and commerce, we develop and manufacture custom solutions for sealing, damping, and insulation. Our product range includes rubber profiles, rubber hoses, rings, and frames, which are engineered in accordance with their subsequent function and the respective installation conditions.

Whether supplied by the metre, cut to length, or as an assembled component: we manufacture diverse geometries and dimensions and, if required, also undertake the further processing into ready-to-install rings and frames.

Custom Rubber Profiles and Hoses

For decades, we have been engaged in the development of technical components made from rubber and other elastomer materials. Alongside classic rubber profiles, these also include rubber hoses for various areas of application. Our design department develops the appropriate cross-sections while taking function, material, and manufacturing processes into account.

Depending on the requirements, different profile shapes, material grades, and designs can be realized. This results in precision-fit rubber profiles and hoses for demanding technical applications.

Rings and Frames for a Precision Fit

From our profiles, we manufacture custom rings and frames that can be tailored precisely to the respective design. These include, for example, hollow cord rings and O-rings, as well as other customer-specific sealing elements.

Assembly and vulcanisation make it possible to provide profiles directly in the form required for installation. As a result, ready-to-install rings and frames can be integrated directly into the respective application.

Material Expertise for Diverse Requirements

The selection of the suitable material depends on the operating conditions and the desired function. Alongside various rubber grades, we also process advanced fluoroelastomers such as FKM, FFKM, and FEPM.

Which material grade, profile geometry, and manufacturing technique are utilized is determined individually on the basis of the technical requirements, the required production runs, and the desired dimensions. Our in-house tooling department supports the economical implementation of even customized geometries.

Technical Solutions for Numerous Industries

Our rubber profiles, rubber hoses, rings, and frames are used in a wide variety of fields, including:

• Apparatus engineering
• Vehicle and automotive engineering
• Mechanical and plant engineering
• Construction industry
• Heating and ventilation sectors
• Shipbuilding
• Hydraulic steelwork
• Household appliances sector
• Wind turbine engineering
• Air conditioning engineering

In doing so, we develop both near-standard solutions and custom-manufactured sealing elements for special requirements.

From Design to the Finished Component

From the initial technical enquiry and the selection of the suitable material through to manufacturing and assembly, you receive solutions from a single source. Modern manufacturing processes and our integrated tooling department enable the flexible implementation of a wide variety of requirements.

Whether rubber profile, rubber hose, O-ring, hollow cord ring, frame, or ready-to-install ring – we manufacture technical elastomer products that are tailored to their respective application in terms of geometry, material, and function.

FKM Sponge Rubber (Fluorflex+) – Profiles, Rings and Frames

When it comes to sealing, damping, and insulation, we develop, design, and manufacture high-quality sponge rubber profiles for a wide range of technical applications in industry, local authorities, and commerce. Depending on the requirements, our profiles can be further processed into ready-to-install rings and frames.

A particular specialization lies in FKM sponge rubber (Fluorflex+). This foamed material combines the chemical resistance of FKM with the flexible structure of a sponge rubber, making it ideal for demanding sealing and insulation tasks. Depending on the design, the profiles can be provided with a closed skin, allowing them to be specifically tailored to the respective sealing function.

FKM Sponge Rubber Profiles for Demanding Applications

For decades, we have specialized in solving technical challenges using FKM sponge rubber. Our know-how is directly integrated into the development of profile cross-sections that are optimized for functionality, material properties, and manufacturing processes. This results in custom FKM sponge rubber profiles that are tailored precisely to the respective requirements.

Depending on the required production runs, dimensional specifications, and function, we select the suitable material and the appropriate manufacturing process. Our design department with its integrated tooling department enables the implementation of virtually any desired geometry.

For various assembly and installation scenarios, our profiles can also be equipped with a self-adhesive backing. Depending on the requirements, suitable adhesives and bonding systems are utilized for this purpose. For the bonding of Fluorflex+ profiles, for example, the specially formulated Fluorflex adhesive is available.

Rings and Frames made of FKM Sponge Rubber

In addition to manufacturing profiles supplied by the metre, we also undertake the further processing of our sponge rubber profiles. These profiles are used to produce precision-fit rings and frames, which can be delivered ready-to-install upon request.

Suitable auxiliary materials can additionally be used for assembly and sealing. This includes, for example, HeatFIX, a sealing paste that can be utilized for sealing and assembly in corresponding technical applications.

Through the combination of profile development, material selection, in-house design, and our own tooling department, we are able to realize custom sealing solutions even for complex geometries and specialized requirements.

FKM Sponge Rubber for Industry and Technical Applications

Our FKM profiles and sponge rubber profiles are used across a wide range of sectors, most notably:

• Apparatus engineering
• Vehicle and automotive engineering
• Construction industry
• Heating and ventilation industries
• Shipbuilding
• Household appliances sector
• Wind turbine engineering
• Hydraulic steelwork
• Air conditioning engineering

Depending on the area of application, different functions take centre stage: sealing, damping, and insulation. The selection of material, profile geometry, manufacturing process, and surface finish is therefore always determined with a view to the subsequent function of the component.

Custom FKM Profiles and Sealing Solutions

Whether FKM sponge rubber (Fluorflex+), foamed profiles, profiles with a closed skin, self-adhesive designs, or assembled rings and frames – we develop custom solutions for technical applications.

With our many years of experience in design, tooling, and manufacturing, we support you from the initial development of the profile cross-section through to the ready-to-install seal. Additionally, suitable products such as Fluorflex adhesive and HeatFIX sealing paste are available for specialized assembly and sealing tasks.

Leverage our expertise for high-performance sponge rubber, FKM, and Fluorflex+ profiles that are precisely tailored to your specific application.

Product Development

Our profiles are not standard products; instead, they are developed in cooperation with the user to meet the desired function. The cross-sections are designed to suit the specific material and manufacturing requirements, taking into account the deformation zones needed for the application. The excellent restoring forces of rubber support custom-engineered sealing geometries or attachments.

• We develop, design, and assemble extrusions according to your specific requirements
• The primary focus is on functionality and cost-effectiveness

Manufacturing Processes

We possess the appropriate machinery and processes for any production run and all cross-sections. Tailored to your specific needs, we utilize conventional vulcanisation in autoclaves for small to medium volumes and large-volume profiles. For elongated, small-volume profiles in long lengths, we employ continuous vulcanisation in a hot air curing tunnel.

• Conventional vulcanisation for small production runs and predominantly large-volume profiles
• Continuous vulcanisation for small cross-sections and larger production volumes
