Rubber Elastomer Extrusion

• When it comes to producing sponge and dense parts in a wide range of profile sizes using a variety of rubber materials, Mantaline employs microwave, hot air and salt cure processes. The production process utilized is dictated by the design requirements for the sealing application, including surface appearance. Contact Mantaline today.

Thermoplastic Elastomer Extrusion

• For seals and gaskets that require many of the physical properties of rubber, but with a lower coefficient of friction or a specific color match, Mantaline’s thermoplastic elastomer extrusions can be customized to meet most requirements. Contact Mantaline today.

Molding, injection molding and vulcanized splicing

• Depending upon the physical complexity and shape requirements for the sealing application including its related static or dynamic nature, gaskets are produced using one of these three methods. When multiple alternatives are available, Mantaline factors in a variety of efficiencies such as part cost/tooling cost, total lowest cost and shortest development time to select the method of manufacture. Contact Mantaline today.

Dual durometer

• When the end product is a combination of dense and dense, sponge and sponge or sponge and dense properties, Mantaline utilizes coextrusion processes to successfully utilize two or more rubber materials. Contact Mantaline today.

Wire and metal carriers

• Utilizing wire or metal as a seal attachment method, Mantaline encapsulates the carrier with rubber during the actual extrusion process. Parts manufactured in this manner typically are coextrusions having a dense bulb, sponge bulb or wiper attached for the sealing surface. Contact Mantaline today.

Low friction coatings

• To provide enhanced resistance to icing and freezing and a lower coefficient of friction, Mantaline applies coatings to the extrudate during the extrusion process. Additional benefits of this process often include a reduction in noise or squeaking, improved durability and uniformity of surface appearance. Contact Mantaline today.

Flocking

• For products requiring an enhanced wiping effect to remove moisture, dirt and noise, Mantaline applies flocking material to the product's sealing surface. Contact Mantaline today.

Hot-melt adhesives

• To enhance the final gasket or seal assembly, Mantaline can apply hot melt adhesives, typically used in areas where tape and other mechanical fasteners cannot be employed. Contact Mantaline today.

Die Cutting, Drilling & Printing

• Mantaline offers a variety of finishing processes including extrusions that may be die cut for an engineered fix in the end application or ease of assembly. Weep holes may be drilled to enable air or water to escape. Inline printing is also available for part identification. Contact Mantaline today.
