Sealing profiles for industrial cabinets and enclosures

EMKA are expanding its range of extruded gaskets for enclosures and other purposes. They are now available for sealing industrial cabinets and enclosures and for use on commercial and specialist vehicles and street furniture. They comprise self-adhesive, self-grip (clip-on), channel fixing and window types (with expansion insert). The range includes EPDM, NBR, CR, PVC, silicone, and many with EMC-compatible coating. Increasing necessities for compression locks and up to IP65 sealing drive the development of these sections.

The company's gasket program now includes hundreds of sections with or without spring clip mounting spine for environmental sealing, equipment protection or personnel protection. Profiles in neoprene, EPDM, PVC, black nitrile, and natural rubber cover conventional expanded closed cell (self-adhesive) foam, through blade and bubble or P-type sections, to more complex multi-functional and custom designs.

These profiles comprise wiping designs, fillers, flocked weather strips, and supported sections with internal or flange structural support. Specialist considerations concerning shore hardness, tensile strength, recoil elasticity, abrasion resistance and climatic/chemical resistance can also be advised upon and permitted in custom production.

Standard products in the range feature edge protection or low friction designs, while the tank band support sections serve a very specific role for trucks and similar vehicles where banding straps secure fuel/water/oil tanks. As well as electrical/electronic enclosures and cabinets, many standard sections are offered for applications such as motor vehicles, railway carriages, off-road trucks, and machines such as agricultural equipment and fire trucks. Coaches and motor homes also feature moulded sections to suit doors, windows, ventilation panels, and external storage compartments. In addition, when a different profile is required, the EMKA team are able to design, develop and produce to serve specific needs.
