Specialized in the manufacture and supply of custom silicone extrusion profiles, we can develop from physical sample or drawing any project; with hardness from 20 to 85 Shore A in any basic colour and RAL as well as special formulations of high mechanical strength and working range in temperatures from -90ºC to +315ºC. Complying with the atoxicity regulations FDA and BfR and according to EN 45545 Part 2.

Our large experience allows us to design and produce any type of profile, metallic or silicone valves, and custom-made dynamic seals providing total sealing against gases, liquids, and solids. We manufacture inflatable seals with any shape that can expand with axial or radial movements towards inwards or outwards.

Exclusive vulcanization process, using the same seal material, ensures great resistance to pressure and a higher number of inflation cycles.
A large stock of common design dies allows us to reduce delivery times and costs.

Our pneumatic seals can be inflated with a high-quality metal valve available in two standard lengths and can be custom machined to any geometry and size. Moulded silicone hose is also possible.

Impeccable sealing solutions in spaces that may vary and need fast assembly: clean room watertight doors and any type of industrial application of fastening, clamping, lifting or pressure.
