Dichtungsprofil
Dichtungsprofil, often translated as sealing profile or gasket profile, refers to a specifically shaped piece of material used to create a seal between two surfaces. These profiles are typically made from flexible materials such as rubber, silicone, EPDM, or various plastics, chosen for their ability to deform and fill gaps, thereby preventing the passage of fluids, gases, or dust. The design of the Dichtungsprofil is crucial to its effectiveness, with various cross-sectional shapes engineered for specific applications and sealing requirements. Common shapes include hollow extrusions, solid profiles with specific geometries like lip seals or O-rings, and more complex designs with multiple sealing surfaces.
The primary function of a Dichtungsprofil is to maintain a barrier under varying conditions of pressure, temperature,
