For a deeper look into our history and capabilities, we invite you to explore our Company Profile.

Key Features of Our TPV Rubber Strips

Our TPV rubber sealing strips stand out in the marketplace due to a combination of material properties that are carefully engineered during the compounding stage. These features are not accidental; they are the result of systematic research, precise formulation, and rigorous testing protocols that we have refined over many years. When you select our TPV sealing strips, you are investing in a sealing solution that has been optimized for real-world conditions rather than theoretical performance. Each batch is produced under tight process controls to ensure that every meter of profile meets the same high standards. Let us examine the three most important characteristics that define our product line and explain why they matter for your applications.

Superior Weather Resistance

One of the most challenging aspects of outdoor sealing is the relentless exposure to sunlight, rain, ozone, and temperature swings. Our TPV rubber seals are formulated with advanced stabilizers and antioxidants that provide exceptional resistance to ultraviolet radiation and thermal degradation. Unlike many elastomers that crack, harden, or lose their sealing force after extended weathering, our weather-resistant rubber seals maintain their elasticity and dimensional stability over years of service. This is particularly critical in automotive sealing solutions, where door seals, window gaskets, and trunk liners must perform without failure despite constant exposure to the elements. In industrial settings, roof seams, equipment enclosures, and HVAC systems benefit from the same reliable protection. We conduct accelerated aging tests in our laboratory to simulate long-term environmental stress and validate that our TPV rubber seals retain at least 90% of its original mechanical properties after prolonged exposure. This level of assurance gives our customers confidence that their installations will remain watertight and airtight throughout the product lifecycle.

Exceptional Flexibility and Elasticity

A sealing strip is only effective if it can conform to irregular surfaces, absorb vibrations, and recover its shape after compression. The TPV material we use offers outstanding flexibility across a broad temperature range, from subzero winters to high-heat engine compartments. Our flexible rubber gaskets can be designed with varying hardness levels, from soft sponge-like profiles for low-force sealing to denser solid sections for structural support. This versatility allows us to engineer TPV rubber strips that provide an effective barrier against dust, water, and noise while accommodating dynamic movement between mating parts. In automotive doors, for example, the seal must compress and rebound thousands of times over the vehicle's life without taking a permanent set. Our material's elastic memory ensures that the sealing force remains consistent, preventing leaks and reducing cabin noise. Industrial machinery that undergoes thermal expansion and contraction also demands a gasket that can stretch and relax without cracking. By fine-tuning the polymer blend and crosslinking density, we produce TPV rubber seals that deliver the exact balance of softness and resilience required for each specific application.

Outstanding Durability and Longevity

Durability in a sealing profile is measured not only by its resistance to the environment but also by its ability to withstand mechanical wear, chemical exposure, and repeated use. Our TPV rubber strips are engineered to resist abrasion, tear propagation, and attack from common automotive fluids such as oils, coolants, and cleaning agents. This chemical resistance is a direct result of the TPV's fully vulcanized rubber phase dispersed within a thermoplastic matrix, creating a material that combines the best attributes of both polymer families. In industrial environments where rubber profiles come into contact with lubricants, solvents, or dilute acids, our industrial rubber profiles maintain their integrity and sealing performance. We also test for compression set at elevated temperatures to ensure that our seals do not flatten permanently under sustained clamping forces. The result is a product that often outlasts traditional EPDM or silicone alternatives, reducing maintenance intervals and total cost of ownership for our clients. With proper installation, our TPV rubber strips can provide reliable service for a decade or more, making it a sound investment for any sealing project.

Applications in Automotive and Industrial Sealing

The versatility of TPV sealing strips makes them suitable for a wide range of applications across multiple industries. In the automotive sector, our TPV sealing strips are used extensively for door seals, window channels, trunk gaskets, hood bumpers, and glass run channels. These components must provide a quiet, watertight cabin while withstanding continuous flexing and temperature extremes. Our automotive sealing solutions are designed to meet the stringent specifications of original equipment manufacturers, including precise dimensional tolerances, low fogging characteristics, and compatibility with painted surfaces. Beyond cars, we supply weather-resistant rubber seals for trucks, buses, agricultural vehicles, and recreational vehicles, where durability in harsh outdoor conditions is paramount. The ability to co-extrude TPV with different hardness zones or integrate metal reinforcement allows us to create complex profiles that simplify assembly and improve long-term performance.
Industrial applications for our TPV rubber sealing strips extend into construction, HVAC, electronics enclosures, medical devices, and food processing equipment. In building and construction, our seals are used for curtain wall glazing, expansion joints, window frames, and door thresholds where air and water infiltration must be minimized. The industrial rubber profiles we manufacture serve as gaskets for electrical junction boxes, control panels, lighting fixtures, and HVAC ductwork, providing protection against dust, moisture, and vibration. In the food processing industry, our TPV rubber strips meet relevant regulatory requirements for contact with non-fatty foods and can be formulated with antimicrobial additives. The material's resistance to cleaning chemicals and steam makes it ideal for wash-down environments found in dairies, breweries, and meat processing plants. Shanghai Dongming's ability to produce both standard and custom profiles in a variety of colors, durometers, and cross-sectional geometries means that we can address virtually any sealing challenge with a tailored solution.

Manufacturing Process and Quality Control

Producing consistent, high-quality TPV sealing strips requires a sophisticated manufacturing process that begins with precise raw material selection and compounding. At Shanghai Dongming, we source virgin polymers and additives from reputable suppliers and maintain strict inventory controls to ensure batch-to-batch uniformity. The TPV compound is prepared in-house using advanced twin-screw compounding equipment that achieves optimal dispersion of the rubber phase within the thermoplastic matrix. This step is critical because the quality of mixing directly affects the final material's mechanical properties, surface finish, and processability. Once the compound is ready, it is fed into extrusion lines equipped with precision die tooling that shapes the profile to exact customer specifications. Our extruders are capable of co-extruding multiple materials, allowing us to produce TPV sealing strips with integrated sealing lips, mounting features, or dual-hardness zones in a single pass. Process parameters such as temperature profile, screw speed, and cooling rate are monitored in real-time to maintain tight dimensional control.
Quality control is woven into every stage of production, from incoming raw material inspection to final product testing before shipment. Our on-site laboratory is equipped with instruments for measuring tensile strength, elongation, compression set, hardness, density, and thermal stability. Each production batch of TPV rubber sealing strips undergoes a standardized testing protocol to verify that it meets the agreed-upon specifications. We also perform accelerated weathering tests, ozone resistance tests, and fluid immersion tests to confirm long-term durability. Dimensional inspection is conducted using optical measurement systems and functional test fixtures that simulate real-world installation conditions. Any deviation from specification triggers an immediate process review to identify root causes and implement corrective actions. This rigorous approach to quality management has earned us certifications that attest to our commitment to excellence. By maintaining full traceability from raw material lot to finished product, we provide our customers with complete confidence in every shipment of TPV rubber strips they receive.
