Transportation Industry Requirements

Meeting rigorous standards for safety, reliability, and performance in transportation applications

Safety Standards

Transportation components must meet stringent safety standards to protect passengers and cargo while ensuring reliable operation under extreme conditions.

  • • FMVSS (Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards)
  • • SAE International standards
  • • DOT regulations for commercial vehicles
  • • FAA requirements for aircraft components
Environmental Durability

Transportation equipment operates in harsh environments requiring seals that withstand weather, vibration, chemicals, and temperature extremes.

  • • Extreme temperature cycling (-40°C to +120°C)
  • • UV and ozone resistance
  • • Vibration and shock dampening
  • • Fuel and oil resistance

Performance Validation

Our transportation seals undergo rigorous testing to ensure they meet or exceed industry performance requirements.

Thermal Cycling

100+ cycles from -40°C to +120°C

Vibration Testing

MIL-STD-810 military vibration standards

Fluid Immersion

72-hour exposure to fuels and lubricants

Transportation Context

Rail, marine, and heavy vehicle applications require resistance to fuels, oils, UV, and vibration. We design profiles to manage movement and compression over long service intervals.

We balance retention and installation force, consider salt spray and corrosion exposure, and provide compounds that remain flexible in extreme cold while resisting heat and UV.
