Product Description
The Rubber Company supplies a comprehensive range of rubber E profile seals, designed to provide reliable compression sealing, edge protection and insulation for doors, windows, panels and industrial equipment. Also known as E section rubber seals, E shaped rubber profiles or silicone E seals, these versatile extrusions offer an effective sealing solution across a wide range of applications.
Our E profile seals feature a distinctive E-shaped cross-section with hollow sections that compress under pressure to create a flexible, secure seal. The grooved design enables the profile to grip compatible panel edges without the need for adhesives or mechanical fixings. This allows for quick installation, easy removal and convenient replacement when required.
We manufacture our E section seals in EPDM and silicone rubber, providing excellent flexibility, durability and resistance to environmental conditions. Silicone E profiles offer excellent high- and low-temperature performance, making them suitable for specialist applications such as industrial ovens, heated enclosures and cryogenic equipment. EPDM E profiles provide excellent resistance to weathering, UV and ozone, making them ideal for external doors, windows and general-purpose sealing.
Our range includes a wide selection of standard shapes and sizes. We can also bespoke manufacture rubber E profile seals to your exact specifications, subject to tooling costs and minimum order quantities.
Silicone & EPDM E Profile Seals
Selecting the correct rubber compound is essential for achieving reliable sealing performance and long-term durability.
EPDM Rubber E Profile Seals
Our silicone E section seals provide excellent thermal stability and flexibility across a wide operating temperature range. They are particularly suitable for applications involving extreme temperatures, including industrial ovens, heated equipment and specialist low-temperature environments.
Silicone also offers excellent resistance to UV, ozone and weathering, alongside resistance to a range of chemicals. Its compression recovery properties make it suitable for applications requiring repeated sealing.
EPDM E Profile Seals
EPDM rubber E profiles offer excellent resistance to outdoor weathering, UV exposure, ozone and moisture. These properties make them particularly suitable for external doors, windows, industrial enclosures and general-purpose weather seals.
EPDM also provides good flexibility and compression recovery, helping maintain effective sealing performance during repeated opening and closing.
Bespoke E Profile Seals & Replacement Profiles
The Rubber Company can supply standard E section rubber seals or assist with developing bespoke profiles for specialist sealing applications.
Our profile matching and replacement service enables customers to submit existing rubber samples, technical drawings or dimensional specifications for assessment. Where a suitable standard profile is unavailable, we can investigate bespoke extrusion manufacture to meet your specific requirements.
Customisation options can include profile dimensions, groove widths, bulb configurations, material grades and hardness levels, subject to manufacturing feasibility.
Whether you require a standard silicone E section, an EPDM weather seal or a bespoke rubber extrusion, The Rubber Company can help you identify a suitable sealing solution.
Contact our team with your application requirements, technical drawing or existing profile sample to discuss available options.
FAQs
An E profile rubber seal is an extruded sealing component featuring an E-shaped cross-section. Its hollow sections compress against adjoining surfaces to create a flexible seal, while the grooved section can grip compatible panel edges for secure installation.
Silicone E profiles are particularly suitable for high- and low-temperature applications, while EPDM profiles provide excellent weathering, UV and ozone resistance. Both materials offer flexible sealing performance, but the most suitable option depends on the operating environment and application requirements.
Many E profile seals feature a grooved design that grips compatible panel edges without additional adhesives or mechanical fixings. However, the effectiveness of this fixing method depends on the profile dimensions, panel thickness and installation conditions.
Yes. Silicone E profile seals can be suitable for high-temperature applications, including industrial ovens and heated enclosures. The maximum operating temperature depends on the silicone compound and specific application conditions.
Yes. The Rubber Company can assist with bespoke E profile extrusion manufacture using customer drawings, samples or dimensional requirements. Custom profiles are subject to tooling costs, minimum order quantities and manufacturing feasibility.
