Profile Constructs

	Dense - The majority of our parts are manufactured using dense materials. Dense profiles are resilient and extrudable whereas some other constructs can only be molded.
	Co-Extruded - Some applications require two types of material (usually having different durometers) to be joined together to form one part. A typical application involves a rigid component that acts as a retainer and a flexible component to act as a seal or bumper.
	Sponge - Sponge extrusions provide a soft, supple seal while optimizing material usage. Sponge profiles should not be used where compression set is important, because the part will eventually take a permanent set.
	Fabric Reinforced - Fabric reinforcement serves many purposes. Embedded fabric can strengthen a part’s tensile strength which will allow it to withstand harsh applications. It also can be used on a part’s surface to reduce coefficient of friction.
	Multi-Laminate - Multi-laminate designs are used in severe applications where part failure must be minimized. Aerospace applications use a multi-laminate construct of fabric, silicone, and polyester. The fabric reduces the part’s coefficient of friction and the rigid polyester molded insert ensures that the part does not pull out of its retainer.
