From window seals and doors to industrial systems: seals ensure tightness, protection against environmental influences and energy efficiency. Despite their important function, they often go unnoticed.
This is exactly where Rubby comes in. The mascot of the poesia gruppe makes the world of seals, materials and applications easy to understand.
Why seals are essential
High-quality seals prevent heat loss, protect against moisture and increase the lifespan of components. Even small leaks can significantly increase energy consumption.
They contribute significantly to:
- Living and user comfort (preventing drafts and moisture)
- Sustainability (lower energy consumption by reducing heat loss)
Materials compared: TPE, silicone (VMQ) and more
Various materials are used in sealing technology depending on requirements such as temperature resistance, media resistance or weather conditions.
Rubby explains the key differences:
TPE seals
- flexibly adjustable properties
- highly recyclable
- efficient processing
- ideal for modern and sustainable applications
Silicone seals (VMQ)
- high temperature resistance
- excellent UV and weather resistance
- very durable for outdoor use
Other elastomers
- EPDM – proven for outdoor applications
- NBR / HNBR – resistant to oils and media
- FKM / FFKM – for high chemical and thermal requirements
- CR (neoprene) – versatile in use
Technical knowledge made simple
Many terms in sealing technology seem complex at first glance.
Rubby makes them easy to understand:
- Differences between TPE, silicone (VMQ) and other materials
- Meaning of Shore hardness
- Impact of UV radiation on seals
- How seals help save energy
- How seals influence energy efficiency
Sustainability: a clear advantage of modern seals
Seals make an important contribution to energy savings. Leaky systems lead to heat loss and increased energy consumption.
Modern solutions – especially TPE seals – offer additional benefits:
- resource-efficient processing
- recyclability
- long service life
