Multi-Component  Solutions

Trelleborg offers countless options to develop solutions integrating two, three or even more components with LSR. This can provide a wealth of benefits:

• Eliminates need for secondary seal/gasket assembly
• Removes the risk and cost associated with
• Secondary assemblies
• Much greater design latitude for the developer
• Robust and cost-effective design solutions
• Eradicates potential leak paths
• Lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) for the customer

Substrates available

Depending on application, product design and process requirements, we draw from a broad range of substrates that we combine with LSR into a fully bonded component:

• Dissimilar LSR types
• Technical thermoplastics
• Metals
• Other types of hard or soft substrates

Simultaneous 2C LSR process

• Our most outstanding capability otherwise referred to as 2K, 2shot, co-injection or rubber-to-plastic bonding
• Available in many hard-soft and soft-soft combinations including multi-color and multi-hardness options
• Robust and most efficient way of providing fully fit to purpose product in high volumes

LSR overmolding

• Combination of LSR with mostly plastic or metallic substrates
• Robust and most efficient manufacturing
• process for lower to medium volumes
• Fully-bonded custom solutions produced in two steps
• Available in a variety of hard-soft combinations

Multi component options

• LSR in combination with other substrates, completed in a combination of injection molding, assembly and other process steps
• Customized systems and ready-to-use solutions

Micro and nano technology

• Components below 10 milligrams in weight
• Flashless production made possible with Trelleborg’s needlepoint injection technology and fully automated parts handling

Thin sections

• 0.10 mm / 0.004 inch or less
• Ideal for thin membranes
• Perfect consistency in thickness and quality
• No pin holes

Delicate parts

• Formed reliably every time
• Flashless production made possible with special tool construction and automation
