Solid Profiles

Solid silicone profiles can withstand temperature extremes and are suitable for applications ranging from refrigerator gaskets and freezer seals to oven door seals. Solid silicone extrusions also good for high-temperature gaskets. Solid neoprene profiles offer good resistance to heat, oil, and weathering.

Solid EPDM profiles offer outstanding heat, ozone, and weather resistance, good steam resistance, and excellent electrical insulation. They come in in different densities, too.

Solid nitrile profiles provide excellent resistance to oils, solvents, and fuels. They also offer good abrasion resistance, good impermeability to gas, and good resilience to temperature extremes. Extruded rubber in nitrile is also referred to as Buna-N, a copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile.

Solid TPE profiles are made of thermoplastic elastomers, a group of rubber-like materials that combine the processing strengths of thermoplastics with the best qualities of thermoset rubbers. These thermoplastic rubbers have a higher material cost than other rubber materials. Solid TPE profiles can be cost-effective for small runs, however, because thermoplastic elastomers cure right away.
