Rubber sealing profiles are manufactured from NR, SBR, EPDM, VMQ (silicone) rubber. They are highly valued for their resistance to chemicals, abrasion, durability, and recovery properties. Profiles can be hollow or solid, manufactured in various sizes and shapes (round, triangular, C, D, L, P, etc.).
Rubber profiles are widely used for sealing windows, doors, various industrial equipment, household appliances, containers, plastic boxes, and even for decorative finishing. Silicone profiles can also be used in contact with food (they are resistant to high temperatures and non-toxic) for various kitchen appliances.
Rubber profiles – a flexible solution for sealing and protection
Rubber profiles are a versatile and reliable material for sealing, cushioning, and protecting against dust, moisture, noise, or impact in various fields. These profiles are made from high-quality elastomers such as EPDM, NBR, or silicone, which ensure durability even under difficult operating conditions. Rubber sealing profiles are used in industrial equipment, construction, automotive, marine, and agricultural machinery. UAB “Almeida” offers a wide range of rubber profiles with delivery in Kaunas, Vilnius, Šiauliai, Panevėžys, Klaipėda, ensuring high quality and competitive prices.
In which industries are rubber profiles used?
Rubber profiles are widely used in various industries: construction (sealing windows, doors, facades), automotive manufacturing (door, trunk, and engine cover gaskets), shipbuilding (for maintaining tightness in wet environments), refrigeration equipment (for temperature tightness), the electronics sector (for protection against dust and vibrations), and agricultural machinery (for sealing, shock absorption, and protection). Due to their elasticity, resistance and the possibility of manufacturing profiles in various shapes, rubber seals are suitable for both standard and specific projects.
Resistance to chemicals, temperature and abrasion
High-quality rubber profiles are distinguished by their resistance to extreme conditions. EPDM rubber is resistant to UV rays, ozone, and temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for outdoor conditions. NBR rubber is highly resistant to oils, greases, and various chemicals, which is important in industrial and automotive applications. Silicone profiles are suitable for the food industry or electronics, where cleanliness and thermal stability are required. Mechanical resistance to abrasion, tearing, or deformation allows the profiles to be used for heavy loads or long-term use.
How to choose the right profile type for your application?
When choosing a rubber sealing profile, it is necessary to assess the operating conditions: temperature, environmental influences (humidity, UV, chemicals), sealing level, and installation method. The shape of the profile is also important – U, P, D letters, tubes, T-shaped or special configuration products are designed for different cavities and structures. The precise shape of the profile and the right choice of material ensure effective sealing, durability, and functionality.
Rubber profiles and their installation features
High-quality installation is a key factor in the effectiveness and service life of rubber profiles. Depending on the type of construction and application, different fastening methods are used to ensure the required tightness and easy maintenance.
Adhesive, press-in or screw-on profiles – which one to choose?
Adhesive profiles are used when quick installation and a strong bond with the surface are required. Press-in profiles are most commonly used for sealing windows, doors, or other structures – they require no additional fasteners and their shape helps to maintain a stable position. Screw-on profiles are used where a stronger connection or long-lasting fixation is required, for example, in transport or industrial equipment. The appropriate fastening method is selected according to the environment of use, mechanical loads, and maintenance requirements.
How to ensure long-term tightness and durability?
To achieve maximum effectiveness, the surface must be properly prepared before installing the rubber profile – it must be clean, dry, and smooth. For bonding, it is recommended to use special adhesives that are resistant to moisture and temperature. It is also necessary to ensure that the profile is installed without tension or stretching – this prevents deformation and loss of tightness over time. Regular inspection and preventive maintenance help to ensure the long-term functionality of the profile.
