Key Applications
Fuel & Fluid Handling Components
Specialized seals, diaphragms, and connector elements for fluid systems and hydraulic circuits featuring advanced materials with exceptional chemical resistance and long-term durability.
Noise & Vibration Control
Custom-designed isolation systems for rail applications that reduce structure-borne and air-borne noise transmission, meeting strict urban noise regulations while providing effective vibration control for both vehicles and infrastructure.
Sealing Systems
Precision-molded door seals, window gaskets, HVAC seals, and inter-car connectors that maintain environmental separation, prevent water ingress, and enhance passenger comfort while withstanding extreme weather conditions and long service intervals.
Rail Infrastructure Components
Specialized rubber components for track systems including rail pads, baseplate pads, under-sleeper pads, and crossing nose inserts designed to reduce vibration transmission, prevent stray current, and extend track life in heavy-duty applications.
Hull Protection Systems
Specialized fender systems, rubbing strakes, and protective elements that absorb impact energy, prevent hull damage during docking operations, and provide long-term protection in demanding marine environments.
Marine Equipment Mounts
Vibration isolation mounts, flexible couplings, and engine mounting systems specifically designed for marine environments, featuring corrosion-resistant materials and designs that accommodate the unique vibration profiles of vessel propulsion systems.
