Extruded Rubber D-Sections

 

D-sections are used across many different industries and applications.  They are used to fill voids and gaps, create a seal between two different surfaces, and provide vibration and noise control. Common uses are as weather seals and window and door seals. They often have pressure sensitive adhesive on the bottom of the profile to keep them stationary within the application. 

Extruded rubber D-sections from ELBEX provide superior sealing and vibration and noise control because of our team that’s dedicated to quality through the entire extrusion manufacturing process.

D-Section Applications

D-sections are most commonly used around doors, windows, and hatches to provide sealing, insulation, and vibration control. These extrusions are found in a variety of different applications across industries due to their versatility:

All extrusions are available in continuous lengths and precise profile shapes, but can be cut to meet specific length requirements. Whatever your application, we can offer additional services such as vulcanized splicing, cutting, printing, and taping. 

Please contact us to discuss your specific application needs.

Custom D-Section Design Available

We take pride in our ability to deliver a custom manufactured product to meet your specification requirements. Based on our extensive capabilities, nearly any design can be met. Our extrusions are available in EPDM, Nitrile, Neoprene, Polyisoprene, Butyl, SBR, and Silicone, and we can help you select the right material for your application.
