Apple Rubber's Silicone Housing (Face) Seals Offer Superior Sealing Performance Over Flat Gaskets

Apple Rubber Products, a leading designer and manufacturer of seals and sealing devices, offers silicone housing (face) seals that outperform flat gaskets and other gasketing methods for a wide variety of housing applications. Custom designed to exact specifications, Apple Rubber's silicone housing seals feature a round cross-section and are molded to hold superior tolerances to die-cut, flat gaskets. Unlike flat gaskets, the round cross section of silicone housing seals ensures sealing of any potential leak paths. Typical applications range from appliances and electronic component housings to aerospace and medical products.

The silicone housing seals are available in a 20-80 durometer range and can be made even softer to match compression set requirements of plastic or metal housing applications. Apple Rubber can produce the seals in even the most complex shapes and the silicone material can be color-matched to customer specifications.

Apple Rubbers LIM silicone molding systems provide consistent, high performance and cost-effective housing seals that are virtually flash-free. Complete design engineering assistance and prototyping are available. Furthermore, the housing seals are made in the U.S.A. and Apple Rubber sells direct, enabling direct communication with a knowledgeable sales team and design engineers and full accountability from the company.
