The choice of material affects everything from service life and sealing performance to how well a component withstands temperature, chemicals, oil, moisture, and mechanical stress. At Cabseal, we work with a wide range of soft and engineering materials that are processed into finished products for various industrial applications.
Therefore, the choice of suitable material is not determined solely by the product’s shape. We also consider the operating environment, the medium, temperature, load, and any requirements regarding, for example, fire rating or contact with food.
Our materials
EPDM, NBR, PTFE and more
Materials with different properties
Our product range includes cellular rubber, cellular plastic, rubber sheeting, plastics, and foam, as well as several other materials. These include EPDM, NBR, CR, silicone, Viton®, PTFE, polyethylene, polyamide, polyester film, cork, and various types of foam.
The materials differ significantly. NBR is often chosen when oil resistance is important, while EPDM is suitable for many environments involving water, weather, and ozone. PTFE is used when low friction or high chemical resistance is required. Cellular rubber and foam materials, in turn, are often used when a component needs to be compressible, provide cushioning, or act as insulation.
How we process materialsFrom raw materials to finished components
We process the materials into items such as gaskets and seals, insulation, moldings, profiles, and other technical components. The material, thickness, and manufacturing method are selected based on the function of the finished component.
