Edge trim is used to protect personnel, vehicles, machinery, and equipment. Applications include vehicle doors, truck cabs, machine guards, and equipment cabinets. To help the rubber seal absorb impact, edge trim can contain either wire cores or segmented steel cores. Edge trim can be made of EPDM, a synthetic rubber that resists moisture and [...]
Rubber extrusions are parts that are run through an extruder or extrusion machine and forced through a die to manufacture the necessary cross-section (or extruded rubber shape), such as squares, cord shapes, and hollow sections for added compression for sealing. The brand of choice for the marine, automotive, industrial, and manufacturing industries, extruded rubber [...]
During the weeks of 28-30, the production at the NorMec is closed during summer break. The office will be open from Monday – Friday from 8 AM to 3 PM. You are welcome to contact us during these weeks. We wish all our customers a good summer, take care of each other. Contact [...]
Dual durometer rubber profiles are extrusions with different areas of hardness. Typically, the harder rubber is used for attachment while the softer rubber is used for sealing. By joining two materials of different physical properties, structural integrity and flexible function can be combined into one part. For example, when a rubber gasket must be [...]
Chloroprene Rubber (CR) is a synthetic rubber that is also known by the trade name Neoprene. CR has a good balance of properties, including good chemical stability and usefulness over a wide temperature range. It is mostly applied to bond structures or different materials. To improve the performance, oil-soluble phenolic resin is added to [...]
This common elastomer is known by many names, Including Buna-N, NBR and Zylo Nitrile Butadine. No matter what you call it, nitrile rubber offers good resistance to oils, fuels, and chemicals. NBR`s ability to withstand a range of temperatures from -40 to 180 degrees (-40 to 220 Fahrenheit) makes it an ideal material for [...]
EPDM seals and Gaskets are used widely with vehicles and equipment, but this synthetic elastomer has unsatisfactory resistance to gasoline, diesel fuel and motor oil. EPDM`s advantages are numerous, however, and this cost-effective compound is often a better choice than silicones – especially in outdoor environments. Ethylene Popylene diene monomer (EPDM) is a compound [...]
Bulb seals are industrial rubber products that are used to seal and insulate doors, hatches and enclosures. They fit radiused corners and have separate bulb and retainer sections, each of which can have a different durometer (hardness) and use a different material. The bulb compresses to form a seal when the door, hatch or [...]
To inject silicon for concrete pipes and manholes gaskets, the NorMec Silicon Injector is a perfect choice. The injection is done with the use of needles, one set of needles on each side of the join. We know time is money therefore have we designed the injector with usability as the top priority. The [...]
Fully Automatic cutter for precision cutting of profiles for vulcanizing. The new fully automated cutter can be used inline in the extruder line or offline. The cutter is equipped with servo engines, caterpillar and excenter for the cutting knife. It can be equipped with a 100 mm or 200 mm wide cutting knif [...]
