As a company specialized in PVC refrigerator seals we have decades of experience in the usage of different PVC compounds. We follow the developments the industry closely to be able to offer our customer the latest innovations in compounds for refrigerator seals.
In recent history, a PVC was developed containing a rubber component. These profiles have the extension -MS in our product catalog.
Soft PVC profiles (-MS)
Profiles with the extension –MS are made of a special blend of materials. Seals made of this type of PVC have several advantages compared to regular PVC, of which the most important:
• Less sensitive to the effects of fats.
• Temperature range from -30 °C to 60 °C
For these reasons we advise this type of seals for the use in Shock Freezers, Blast Chillers, Freezer room doors and for sealing doors and drawers of refrigeration equipment with a high usage intensity.
TPE profiles (-ME)
Profiles with the extension –ME are made of Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE).
Seals made of this high-grade thermoplastic rubber have several advantages compared to regular PVC and soft PVC, of which the most important:
• Less sensitive to the effects of fats.
• Less sensitive to (aggressive) cleaning agents including disinfectants
• Temperature range from -40 °C to +130 °C
For these reasons we advise to use TPE seals in doors and drawers with high usage intensity, Ultra Low Temperature Freezers, shockfreezers, blast chillers and heated cabinets.
