Sealing system behaviour in such aspects as bending, linear extension, insertion/extraction forces, depend on the metal carrier type. Examples of key elements to be considered are visual aspects; body shape; economic aspect; feasibility; forces of insertion and extraction; compression force. All these aspects are taken into account by our engineers during the design process.

We deliver a different kind of solution to our clients:

solid or notched aluminium; solid or notched steel; bridge steel or wire type.

Fibreglass cord is mostly used to minimize the risk of seal stretching during the production process and montage process. Also it gives great protection for seals assembled with 3M tape.

The element responsible for the most important seal characteristics: water and noise stopping,  anti-freezing feature. A properly chosen compound and coating have a great impact on the final cost and functionality of the seal. An understanding of the behaviour and mechanical properties of the rubber material is essential for designing and producing effective sealing systems.

Key elements to be considered are: fogging; colour bleeding; visual aspects; compression force; dynamics; compound characteristics.

The mainframe of the seal is also a carrier for other elements like fiberglass cord or a metal insert.

Due to client demands, it could be manufactured with different surface finishing:

• fabric
• pattern
• coating
• flock

Nowadays an automotive seal is a multi-component part responsible for different features like water and noise stopping and anti-freezing.

On every part of the project implementation we are using our experience. Modifying an initial project in the design stage gives our clients measurable profits. Modification at this stage is way simpler and cheaper.

With the capabilities of our Group R&D teams and using our material database, we are sure that we will meet your standards.

The main production of SMX Rubber Company is concentrated on automotive parts.
