Window frame manufacturer required a co-extruded sponge+solid EPDM sealing profile with consistent cross-section ±0.2mm, stable Shore A 45 solid section, and UL94 HBF flame class for commercial building code compliance.
Developed co-extrusion die with sponge/solid dual-durometer outputs. Process controlled via laser micrometer inline measurement. Carbon black loading optimized for UL94 HBF compliance without degrading weather resistance.
Cross-section consistency ±0.15mm. Shore A 45 ± 2 on solid section. UL94 HBF certified. 18-month supply agreement at 200,000m/year.
DFM Analysis: Die geometry computer-simulated to predict sponge expansion ratio — avoided 3 iterations of die modification typical in trial-and-error approaches.
Our engineers work from your CAD drawings before any tooling begins — identifying potential failure modes, proposing material alternatives, and validating gate/cooling layouts digitally. This eliminates costly mold revision cycles.
Physical test results from production samples — available with every shipment on request.
