Rubber Metal Bonded Seals are composite seals that minimize mechanical vibration, make installation easier, lower assembly costs, and reduce noise1. They are made by bonding rubber to metal to create a composite seal1. Merdian manufactures rubber to metal bonded seals from most rubber elastomers, and using a wide variety of substrates, including brass, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, carbon steel, even include plastic and PTFE.
About the bonding method
Rubber and metal bonding is a process by which rubber is mechanically bonded to a metal insert during the molding process. The bonding of rubber to metal can be done using various methods such as hot vulcanize/bonded adhesive method, cold adhesive method, brass plating method and etc.
Meridian recommend uses precise co-molding processes to hot vulcanize/bonded an elastomeric seal profile directly into a non-elastomeric carrier. This process yields a chemical bond far superior to one that uses a cured profile bonded to a substrate with an adhesive.
