Trelleborg offers countless options to develop solutions integrating two, three or even more components with LSR. This can provide a wealth of benefits:
Eliminates need for secondary seal/gasket assembly
Removes the risk and cost associated with
Secondary assemblies
Much greater design latitude for the developer
Robust and cost-effective design solutions
Eradicates potential leak paths
Lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) for the customer
Substrates available
Depending on application, product design and process requirements, we draw from a broad range of substrates that we combine with LSR into a fully bonded component:
Dissimilar LSR types
Technical thermoplastics
Metals
Other types of hard or soft substrates
Simultaneous 2C LSR process
Our most outstanding capability otherwise referred to as 2K, 2shot, co-injection or rubber-to-plastic bonding
Available in many hard-soft and soft-soft combinations including multi-color and multi-hardness options
Robust and most efficient way of providing fully fit to purpose product in high volumes
LSR overmolding
Combination of LSR with mostly plastic or metallic substrates
Robust and most efficient manufacturing
process for lower to medium volumes
Fully-bonded custom solutions produced in two steps
Available in a variety of hard-soft combinations
Multi component options
LSR in combination with other substrates, completed in a combination of injection molding, assembly and other process steps
Customized systems and ready-to-use solutions
Micro and nano technology
Components below 10 milligrams in weight
Flashless production made possible with Trelleborg’s needlepoint injection technology and fully automated parts handling
Thin sections
0.10 mm / 0.004 inch or less
Ideal for thin membranes
Perfect consistency in thickness and quality
No pin holes
Delicate parts
Formed reliably every time
Flashless production made possible with special tool construction and automation
