What Are Extruded Rubber Lip-Seals and Gaskets?

Extruded rubber lip-seals and gaskets are sealing components produced by the extrusion process, where raw rubber material is forced through a die to create a continuous, uniform shape. These seals are typically designed with a lip-shaped profile to provide a tight, flexible seal between two surfaces. Gaskets, on the other hand, are flat sealing rings or sheets used to fill the space between mating surfaces, preventing leaks and ensuring airtight or watertight seals.

At Accuseal Rubber Inc, we use premium-grade elastomers such as silicone, EPDM, nitrile, and neoprene to manufacture lip-seals and gaskets, ensuring excellent performance in terms of temperature resistance, chemical compatibility, and environmental durability. We offer a wide range of extruded profiles, sizes, and materials to meet the diverse needs of our clients.

Key Features and Benefits of Accuseal’s Extruded Rubber Lip-Seals and Gaskets

1. Superior Sealing Performance:

Our extruded rubber lip-seals and gaskets are designed to create a tight, leak-proof seal between two surfaces. The flexible lip design allows for dynamic sealing, meaning that the seal can maintain contact even when the surfaces are in motion or subjected to pressure changes. This feature is particularly important in applications such as automotive door seals or industrial equipment, where maintaining a reliable seal under fluctuating conditions is critical.

2. Resistance to Environmental Factors:

Accuseal Rubber Inc’s extruded rubber seals and gaskets are engineered to withstand exposure to harsh environmental conditions, including UV radiation, ozone, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Whether they are used in outdoor environments, under the hood of a vehicle, or in high-temperature industrial applications, our seals maintain their structural integrity and performance over extended periods of time.

3. Versatility in Materials and Applications:

We offer extruded rubber lip-seals and gaskets in a wide range of elastomers to ensure compatibility with specific application requirements. Each elastomer offers unique properties that make it ideal for different environments:

• Silicone: Offers excellent thermal stability, making it ideal for high-temperature applications.
• EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer): Known for its resistance to UV, ozone, and weathering, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
• Neoprene: Provides excellent oil, chemical, and flame resistance.
• Nitrile (Buna-N): Exceptional resistance to oils, fuels, and chemicals, making it ideal for sealing applications involving fluids.

By selecting the right material, we ensure that our lip-seals and gaskets provide optimal performance for each client’s specific requirements.

4. Customizable Solutions:

At Accuseal Rubber Inc, we recognize that every application has unique sealing requirements, which is why we offer fully customizable solutions. From custom profiles to specific sizes and shapes, we work with our clients to design and manufacture extruded rubber seals and gaskets that meet their exact specifications. Whether you need a complex seal for an automotive application or a simple gasket for industrial machinery, our team is committed to delivering products that meet your needs.

5. Durability and Longevity:

Accuseal’s extruded rubber seals and gaskets are built to last, providing long-lasting durability even in the most challenging environments. Our high-performance elastomers offer excellent resistance to wear, abrasion, and chemical exposure, ensuring that our seals maintain their performance over the lifetime of the application. This durability reduces the need for frequent replacements, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.

6. Ease of Installation:

Our extruded rubber lip-seals and gaskets are designed for easy installation, ensuring a secure fit between surfaces without requiring complex tools or processes. The flexibility of our rubber materials allows for quick and hassle-free installation, making our seals an ideal choice for applications where time and efficiency are critical.
