Construction Materials
Key Features
Weather Resistance & Durability
Construction seals must withstand extreme weather conditions and maintain integrity over decades of service
Construction components face constant exposure to rain, snow, UV radiation, ozone, and temperature extremes. Our weather-resistant materials prevent water intrusion, air leakage, and material degradation.
- • EPDM compounds resist UV and ozone degradation
- • Silicone maintains flexibility across temperature ranges
- • Neoprene provides oil and chemical resistance
- • Multi-layer construction for enhanced durability
Quality rubber seals reduce building maintenance costs by preventing leaks, drafts, and material deterioration. Long-lasting seals mean fewer replacements and lower lifecycle costs for construction projects.
- • Service life of 15-25 years in typical applications
- • Resistance to cracking and splitting
- • Minimal expansion/contraction with temperature changes
- • Self-healing properties in some compounds
Building Envelope Performance
Properly sealed building envelopes improve energy efficiency, reduce heating and cooling costs, and enhance occupant comfort. Quality rubber seals contribute to LEED certification and green building standards.
Building Codes & Standards
