Elastomers: versatile materials with diverse applications

Elastomers are a class of polymers with unique properties that make them highly versatile for a wide range of industrial applications. They are characterized by their elasticity, flexibility, and resilience, allowing them to stretch and return to their original shape without undergoing permanent deformation.  

Common applications of molded elastomer parts

This makes them ideal for applications that require durability (including in harsh weather conditions), shock absorption (mostly for automotive and railway industries), and sealing capabilities.

Expertise in Custom elastomer manufacturing:

As a leading manufacturer of custom elastomer parts since 1905, we specialize in crafting high-quality seals and gaskets that meet the specific requirements of our clients. Our expertise extends to a wide range of elastomers, ensuring we can provide the optimal material for each application.

Some masterbatches transformed at the Jeantet production site :

• Hydraulic gaskets : Seal pressurized fluids in hydraulic systems, preventing leaks and ensuring efficient operation.
• Pneumatic seals: Seal compressed air in pneumatic systems, maintaining pressure and preventing leaks.
• O-Rings: Versatile seals with a circular cross-section, widely used in various applications.
• Quad-Ring seals: Offer superior sealing performance compared to O-rings, particularly in high-pressure applications.
• Static seals: Prevent leakage between stationary components, ensuring fluid retention and preventing contamination.
• Rotary seals: Seal rotating shafts or joints, preventing fluid leakage and maintaining lubrication.
• Reinforced seals: Enhanced with metal inserts or reinforcements for added strength and durability in demanding applications.
• Dynamic seals: Seal moving components, preventing leakage and maintaining lubricant integrity.
• Lip seals: Utilize a sealing lip to prevent fluid leakage, commonly used in piston rings and shaft seals.
• Cord seals: Employ braided or twisted cord material to provide sealing action, often used in static applications.
• Welded seals: Created by welding elastomer components together, offering a permanent and tamper-proof seal.

Prototype development

We understand the importance of timely delivery and our R&D lab can produce prototypes of gaskets in exceptionally short lead times. Our expertise extends to a wide range of elastomers, ensuring we can quickly prototype and test in our chemical laboratories different materials to meet your specific needs.

Manufacturing capabilities for a large range of sizes and dimensions

Rigorous testing and validation process

We employ rigorous testing procedures to validate the performance and quality of our seals. Our in-house testing capabilities include:

• Bench Testing: Subjecting seals to simulated application conditions to assess their sealing performance, durability, and resistance to wear and tear.
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Utilizing advanced software to simulate stress distribution and potential failure points in seal designs, optimizing performance and preventing premature failure.

Quality assurance and production control

Our production processes are meticulously controlled, and each seal undergoes rigorous inspection before delivery.

From a few items to high-volume production ranges

Our manufacturing capabilities extend to both small-batch and high-volume production runs.
