Custom Silicone Seals Manufactured to Specification and Design Requirements
We manufacture silicone seals according to customer specifications, technical documentation or project requirements.
This includes both the development of new components and the expansion of serial production for existing products. The manufacturing process takes into account product geometry, installation method, deformation range and operating environment requirements, ensuring consistent parameters and a seal precisely tailored to the specific application.
Custom Manufacturing
Manufacturing Technology – HTV Silicone Injection Molding and LSR Development
Our silicone seals are manufactured using HTV and LSR injection molding technologies, as well as other silicone compounds. Combined with our advanced machinery park, these technologies provide extensive processing capabilities and enable the production of seals resistant to a wide range of physical and chemical factors.
The manufacturing process is exceptionally clean and well-controlled. We produce sealing solutions in a wide variety of colours to meet specific application and identification requirements.
Why Are Silicone Seals Ideal for Demanding Applications?
In silicone seal manufacturing, not only the production technology but also the material properties play a crucial role in determining the durability and functionality of the final product within its intended operating environment.
- Temperature Resistance: reliable performance at temperatures up to 300°C in hot air environments
- Low-Temperature Flexibility: maintains elasticity at temperatures as low as -120°C
- Ageing Resistance: excellent durability during long-term operation
- Flame Retardancy: materials can achieve UL 94 V-0 classification
- Approvals and Certifications: including FDA, BfR, 1935/2004/EC, WRAS, NSF and PZH
- Electrical Properties: available as dielectric or electrically conductive materials
- Colour Options: wide range of colours available
