Rubber-Metal Bonded Seal
Rubber-metal bonded seal, overmolding process, chemical bonding, zero delamination
Description
This overmolding product combines a metal insert with liquid silicone rubber (LSR) or solid silicone using our proprietary molding process. The chemical bonding ensures zero delamination under thermal cycling and pressure. The metal insert provides structural rigidity while the silicone provides sealing and damping. Commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications where both strength and sealing are required. Custom insert materials (steel, aluminum, brass) and silicone formulations are available.

Engineering & Quality Documentation
📋 Technical Standards
- IATF 16949-aligned manufacturing; PPAP Level 3 documentation on request
- Media compatibility: oils, fuels, glycol validated
- Service range -40 °C to +200 °C
- RoHS / REACH compliant plating on metal inserts
🏭 Manufacturing Process
Metal-rubber overmolded in-cycle: inserts are degreased, grit-blasted and primed, then rubber is cured directly onto the metal for a chemical bond.
- Bond strength ≥ specification verified by pull-off sampling
- Flashless parting-line control for sealing lips
- Post-cure for stable compression performance
🔍 Quality Inspection
- ▸ 100% visual inspection before packing (flash, short-shot, contamination)
- ▸ Dimensional verification against approved drawing; FAI report on first shipment
- ▸ Hardness per ASTM D2240 (Shore A) on every batch
- ▸ Lot traceability: material batch and cure records logged per carton
- ▸ Bond pull-off strength sampling per lot (zero delamination)
- ▸ Lip dimension verification on FAI lots
- ▸ Compression set per ASTM D395
🛡️ After-sales & Warranty
12-month warranty including bond integrity; PPAP and CoC documentation available. 8D within 48 hours for confirmed issues, free replacement of non-conforming batches.
