Our range of door seals offers the ideal solution to provide a watertight seal around any door or hatch. This product is a self-grip door seal – 11.5mm x 20mm.
PVC rubber strips are ideal for a variety of uses but are most commonly used in outdoor applications to block weather and moisture. This product also offers great resistance to most household chemicals and detergents, making it well suited for indoor use.
This seal can be easily cut with a sharp knife, allowing you to cut the strip to size. It also offers great flexibility and can easily bend around tight corners or complex angles for sealing or blocking out elements in tight spaces.
This is a composite sealing profile, meaning it is comprised of a combination of solid PVC rubber and sponge rubber, with metal inserts integrated into the solid rubber.
The internal fins and metal insert guarantee a tight grip, even if radii or bends need cover. Simply press the seal onto the door’s edge by hand or with a rubber or thermoplastic hammer. No adhesive or special attachment aids are required, meaning installation is simple and quick.
After installing our product, it is important to ensure that the compression of the sponge part should not exceed a maximum of 50%. Exceeding this can greatly affect the overall compression and recovery of the product. An ideal compression rate should be between 30-40%, as this allows the product to return to its original state. If the sponge part of the profile has two sections, this value should apply to each section.
The crucial quality for sealing products is their enduring deformation. This essentially refers to how well the product recovers after you compress it at a specific temperature for a length of time. The most common characteristic is the compression set (DVR) ASTM D395. In order to determine this value, the sponge part of the product is compressed by 25% and then stored at a set temperature for a predetermined period of time. After the product has been released and left at room temperature for 30 minutes, the height or width (depending on position) is measured and the enduring deformation can be identified. A DVR of 0 would indicate that the test body has reached its original height (unlikely in reality), a DVR of 100% shows that the test body has no recovery and would remain completely deformed.
This is important to note because as the sponge compresses it puts pressure on the seal. After an extended period of time the rubber can deform. If the DVR is too high the elasticity performance and sealing will decrease affecting the performance of the product.
