BORFLEX® designs and manufactures elastomer parts for ground transportation applications
The group works with all types of vehicles: buses, coaches, trucks, automobiles, commercial vehicles, agricultural vehicles, defense vehicles, and other vehicles.
BORFLEX® sites also work with vehicle assembly lines, as well as for dealers and vehicle repair shops.
BORFLEX® designs and produces elastomer seals and tooling, and also supplies sealing products for military vehicle manufacturers.
Vehicle seal design
BORFLEX® specializes in the design and manufacture of customized seals for vehicles, combining state-of-the-art elastomer processing technologies.
BORFLEX® is the extrusion and shaping of water-, air- andnoise-tight seals.
We handle the development of elastomer parts, from design to manufacture in all sizes.
We produce vehicle seals in the best materials for your optimum solutions. The BORFLEX® Group is focused on
quality, service and innovation.
Specialized in the manufacture of elastomer parts for the defense and armament sectors for many years, the BORFLEX® group offers reliable and durable solutions:
- - elastomer blends offering outstanding performance even under extreme conditions (temperature, pressure, etc.),
- - compliance with standards,
- - guaranteed tightness (liquids, gases, noise, external contamination, etc.),
- - ballistic protection,
- - radiation protection.
BORFLEX® Group products are used in a wide variety of equipment, providing performance and efficiency. BORFLEX® prioritizes innovation in order to meet the challenges of the defense and armament industries.
DESIGN of custom elastomer and composite parts
In addition to our catalog products, our dedicated design departments create and develop innovative solutions. We can meet all the requirements of your project and offer you all the latest innovations on the market.
BORFLEX® designs and manufactures high-performance, certified, customized elastomer and composite partsfor a wide range of industries. We study all your needs, and our teams carry out material and feasibility studies on your behalf. We provide global expertise for your project, and draw up complete manufacturing specifications. Our mastery of all elastomer and composite processes guarantees you a global solution for small and medium-scale production.
Rubber hose and cable bridge manufacture.
Crocodile® hose and cable bridges are extremely robust and durable.
The bridges are supplied with side tabs to prevent them from separating when arranged together.
Foldable bridges made of solid rubber can be installed in seconds. The two sides are held together with a rust-free cable, so they remain elastic even on uneven ground.
SEAL CO-EXTRUSION PROCESS
BORFLEX® manufactures extruded waterproof seals, airtight and noise-tight seals, from the design to the manufacture of parts of all sizes.
We also offer flame-retardant elastomers and self-extinguishing, halogen-free elastomers, in compliance with the most stringent standards for fire behavior and smoke toxicity.
BORFLEX® masters all the techniques involved in the manufacture of an extruded seal:
- - application of slip varnish or flocking,
- - removal of fabric,
- - anti-elongation wires,
- - bi-material seal,
- - use of semi-rigid or flexible PVC,
- - steel frame (metal insert),
- - sealing cord,
- - insertion of fabric or stiffening material,
- - Adhesive application,
- - use of cellular rubber,
We also offer expertise in seal extrusion and the shaping of hoses for fluid transport.
We have a wide range of standard extruded sealsfor many applications in many industries.
Sealing profiles for vehicles
The BORFLEX® group specializes in the manufacture of elastomer parts for the ground transportation sector.
The BORFLEX® group offers you its expertise in the field of sealing (air, water, noise), particularly in the manufacture of vehicle seals in small and medium production runs (from 5 vehicles per day):
- . premium vehicles,
- . spare parts,
- . etc.
We provide innovative solutions for the following key functions:
- . thermal and acoustic sealing (water, air, noise),
- . amortization,
- . guidance,
- . appearance parts (exterior and interior).
We use different materials together or individually to create multi-functional profiles:
- . elastomers: hard or soft or cellular compacts, flocked or varnished,
- . textile or steel reinforced flexible plastics, fabric finish, double-sided adhesive application,
- . PVC,
- . VSE,
- . polyurethane.
We develop elastomer solutions for small and medium production runs.
We offer solutions for profile assembly using :
- . clipping
- . collage
- . hot melt
- . moulding
- . etc...
To guaranteeseal tightness for complex definitions of 3-axis moving parts (windows, doors, etc.).
Finished parts, which can include several profiles that are themselves assembled, can be produced on a one-off basis or in series. Reproducibility is guaranteed by our process capability in accordance with automotive standards.
