APSOseal® Elastomer Profiles

About this product

Overview brochure with material descriptions

Elastomer profiles are employed as sealing, covering and protective elements. Compression of a cross-section, a hollow space or a lip initiates a sealing sequence. This shape change and the elastic behavior of the profile material create a seal. The natural resilience of elastomeric materials provides a virtually constant sealing force.

The specialists at Angst + Pfister have extensive experience in the area of elastomer profiles. Take advantage of our expertise by turning to us for skilled, professional advice. We will help you select the ideal sealing material, and together with you we will examine the fabrication possibilities and define the cross-section contour. Ensuring seal reliability is the top priority. It goes without saying that we do everything we can to always provide the best economic solution.

It takes a comprehensive logistics infrastructure to be able to supply the right products at the right time. Our logistics center functions fully automatically with electronic order tracking.

Angst+Pfister stocks an extensive standard assortment of elastomer profiles, sealing tapes and adhesive tapes. Items in this standard product range can be used for a vast array of applications.

If your application requires a non-standard profile, our specialists will be glad to advise you. In all matters regarding material selection, design, fabrication, labeling and surface treatment, Angst+Pfister possesses a variety of production possibilities and the corresponding know-how to devise and implement for you an ideal solution perfectly tailored to your needs.

Angst+Pfister supplies all common elastomer compounds. Many of the elastomer compounds in the Angst+Pfister assortment additionally feature compliance certifications for applications in areas such as the food-and-beverage industry, the medical sector and the rail vehicle construction industry.

To meet customer demands placed on extruded profiles, the profile geometry must be defined in a way that also takes manufacturing tolerances into account.

Angst+Pfister offers a full range of fabrication possibilities for elastomer profiles. One of Angst+Pfister’s specialties in the area of elastomer profiles is customized AIRMATIC® sealing systems.

Elastomer profiles can be inscribed with identification data (product designation, production date, etc.). Angst+Pfister offers a variety of different types of surface treatments for elastomer profiles.

Each elastomer material has deployment constraints with regard to its behavior during exposure to hot and cold temperatures, its resistance to substances with which it comes in contact and its resistance to weathering. Depending on the deployment, our elastomer profile seals feature approval and compliance certifications for use in areas such as the food and medical industry (FDA, etc.) and the drinking-water sector (KTW, etc.), or meet fire protection regulations for the rail vehicle construction industry (e.g. DIN 5510, part 2). These regulatory requirements often also apply to applications employing non-black rubber (medical sector). In principle, every elastomer material can be dyed with a color additive, though that can have an adverse effect on the physical and mechanical properties, except in the case of silicone.
