Custom Rubber E Seals
Manufactured to order from sponge and solid materials in a selection of sizes, colours and hardnesses.
We can manufacture custom rubber E seals in most sponge and solid materials but commonly use silicone compounds for their high temperature resistance. This profile is regularly used to seal doors and fridges within a diverse range of industry sectors. The slot in this section clips over the panel edge allowing the top hollow bulb to compress and create a watertight seal when the door is closed.
Depending on your exact requirements, we can manufacture this section to suit different panel thicknesses and depths. We can also extrude the top part of the ‘e’ in any size to fit the gap between the panel edge and the door.
Our custom rubber profiles are made-to-order based on your projects requirements. Please contact us with your specifications.
Material and Dimensions
'e' shaped rubber seals are available from an extensive range of
off-the-shelf products, but can also be manufactured to order to suit your projects
requirements. To enable us to look at standard or custom profiles, we require
the following information.
A: Height
B: Width
C: Panel Thickness
D: Wall Thickness
E: Panel Depth
F: Material
G: Hardness or Density
H:
Number of Metres
Our Custom Rubber Seal Manufacturing Process
We work with a large range of rubber and plastic compounds including EPDM, Natural rubber, Neoprene, Nitrile, Silicone and PVC, many of which are available in either sponge or solid forms. This selection allows us to extrude a profile taking into account any environmental, chemical or temperature demands.
The manufacturing process starts with our specialist toolmakers who turn your sample or technical dimensioned drawing into a tool that can be used to extrude an exact replica of your rubber seal. This extrusion process uses temperature and pressure to push your chosen rubber compound through the tool to extrude the required shape. The extruded seal is then cured using heat to vulcanise and harden the extrusion.
Although the majority of rubber seals are manufactured using a very similar procedure, we understand that your sealing solution may require additional non-standard processes. This could include joining, applying self-adhesive backing, or cutting to desired lengths. Whilst it is possible to do this on-site after production, it is often preferable to do this at the time of manufacture to increase the speed and ease of installation of the final product.
Manufacturing a custom rubber seal can be completed at a relatively low cost with production runs requiring as little as 30 metres. For large production quantities, we have the option of manufacturing sample lengths before going to bulk production. This allows you to look at the finished product and test how it performs. The process of moving from concept to delivery can normally be fulfilled within two to three weeks, depending on the material and complexity of the profile.

Seal Design Service
Our CAD facilities allow us to work with you in designing the
best sealing solution for your project. If
your sealing requirements cannot be met by a standard section and you do not
have a sample or technical dimensioned drawing, our Design Engineers can design
a custom solution to your requirements.
Other Custom Rubber Seals
Custom rubber seals can be extruded in virtually any shape in most rubber compounds. Different profiles are suitable for different applications and selecting the correct shape, material and hardness is essential to ensure a long term sealing solution. Visit our
