RENOVATION SEALS FOR WINDOWS AND DOORS Brush seals - Window seals - Sash rebate seals - Edge protection seals - Adhesive seals - Foam rubber seals - Steel frame seals - Door seals - U-profiles More than 2.000 profiles from EU stock. New tooling starting at EUR 95.- Delivery time 2/4 weeks. Several standard colours available. From 35 / 85 shore

Silicone profiles are made of liquid plastic rubber and can withstand temperatures from 60 to +280 degrees Celsius. Available in various colors Resistant to heat and cold Durable material and very flexible Very versatile

These sealing profiles are used to finish sharp edges and also to seal gaps. The profiles usually consist of PVC with a bulb of moss rubber, but profiles in EPDM and silicone are also possible.

We supply various types of SEBS - EPDM / Silicon and EPDM rubber products of the highest quality. SEBS is a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) with hardnesses between 20 and 85 shore A. They are also called technical rubbers, synthetic rubbers or elastoplastics, but then added with syrene. In our range you will find a wide range of rubber products, but we are also happy to be of service with customized SEBS rubber. Advantages of SEBS rubber SEBS rubber is comparable to EPDM, but has the advantage that small series can be made for a favorable price. Another big advantage is the resistance of this material. For example, SEBS rubber is UV and ozone resistant and resistant to extreme heat and cold. This ensures that this type of rubber is very widely applicable. SEBS has been described by Greenpeace as an acceptable alternative to PVC in toys. Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP) are the most commonly used building blocks for SEBS.

For our German client Vorwerk Elektrowerke, manufacturer of premium home appliances, we make, among other parts, parts for their smart Thermomix food processor. These are intended for both professional kitchens and the consumer market. One of the parts Enbi Plastics makes, is the position switch that ensures the food processor’s motor can only be turned on if a bowl is placed on it. This small but complex part is composed of different materials: plastic, metal and silicone. Because it needs to provide a seal as well as be dimensionally stable, we opted for silicone. Whereas the wall thickness is usually uniform, that was not the case here. A high-tech LIM mould was needed to achieve the right shape. That made the development of this product a turnkey project for Enbi Plastics together with the machine supplier and mould manufacturer. Enbi Plastics made different versions of the test mould and conducted feasibility studies in order to perfect the design.

Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is a liquid silicon material, which is processed with an injection moulding process. Thanks to its special materials and processing properties, LSR offers unique design and production opportunities for Enbi Plastics. LSR has numerous uses in different industries, including health care, food, automotive, household appliances, and other sectors. For the injection moulding of silicon, Enbi Plastics uses machines with a closing force between 25 and 110 tons. This way we produce products made of components weighing from less than a single gram to approximately 100 grams, and which vary between <10 Shore A to approximately 80 Shore A in hardness, using both 1K and 2K injection moulding processes. Would you like to know more about LSR and how it can benefit your products or components? Our experts at Enbi Plastics love to help you with all your questions about LSR.
