The complexity of rubber
The enormous diversity of the use made of seals in every area of activity and the immense possibilities of a very extensive choice of formulations make the manufacture of seals a very complex business.
Skill in mixing and in using the tools is the guarantee of successful manufacture
The various processes in the manufacture of a seal:
- Formulation
- Creation of tools
- Moulding
- Casting
- Extrusion
- Production
- Cutting out
- Adherisation
Although they have more than a thousand formulations in stock, SEE and LCC are continually creating new formulae for increasingly varied requirements
Particularities of SEE and LCC products (according to the essential features requested):
- Fire resistance
- Resistance to extreme temperatures
- Seal resistance to gases – air – all fluids – noise
- Electrical conductivity
- Hardness of 20 shores (foam) to 75 shores D or 99 shores A
- Approval for use with foodstuffs
- Approval for use in the presence of fire, smoke or toxic substances (safety standards)
- Etc.
