Our customers often ask us to collaborate with their engineers on a seal’s design to support quality manufacturing for automotive OEMs.
While some seals may appear simple, designing an effective seal is a complex process that involves considering numerous factors—particularly when it comes to rubber seals.
Read MoreOvermolding combines multiple materials into a single part, and in this article you’ll find photos of some of the overmolded seals we make in Mexico.
Read MorePart 3 of our FEA white paper focuses on interpreting the results of Finite Element Analysis for elastomer seals.
Read MorePart 2: The white paper focuses on the proper setup and scenarios for performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on elastomer seals.
Read MorePart 1: This white paper explores the importance of understanding material properties when performing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on elastomer seals.
Read MoreThis article includes a gallery of some of the AEM seals we manufacture in Mexico, followed by an explanation of key capabilities that help explain why we use AEM for automotive and industrial applications.
Read MoreWe recently faced a unique challenge when Vitesco asked us to produce T76 filter plates for automotive transmissions. These plates are crucial components, and Vitesco needed them to be entirely defect-free. However, the plates' black-on-black design made it difficult to spot defects using traditional inspection methods.

Read MoreHow does the tear strength performance of LSR compare to an HCR silicone? Let’s take a look.
Read MoreFor manufacturing overmolded automotive gaskets and seals, Liquid Silicone Rubber (LSR) is generally preferred over High Consistency Rubber (HCR). LSR’s optimal performance for overmolding is based on several key factors.
Read MoreFor molding automotive gaskets, both LSR and HCR both have distinct processing characteristics that influence production costs. Let’s look at some scenarios to illustrate how we might choose the ideal material for manufacturing various electrical connectors in Mexico.
Read MoreLSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) tools typically have fewer cavities and higher upfront costs compared to tools for HCR (High Consistency Rubber), but what are the other considerations for this process versus compression molding?
