Although its primary use is within the automotive industry on various older and classic vehicles, the unique shape makes this section ideal for other marine or industrial applications. The smooth black appearance allows this seal to be used as a neat sealing solution in projects where the product will be visible.

We manufacture this product from high quality EPDM which is a flexible rubber compound suitable for a wide range of everyday and industrial applications. This material has a good modular resistance to most substances including most chemicals, UV, air and ozone but is not recommended in environments which may come into contact with oil or fuel. EPDM is around the same hardness (70° Shore A) as the rubber on a car tyre and has an operating temperature range between -40°C to +120°C.
