Gaskets and Seals
We can create the right seal for your project The range of seals and gaskets we can provide is unlimited. We supply the appropriate seal to our customers whatever the size, shape, type or application. No matter if you produce a shower head or maintain a power plant.

O-Rings
Thanks to its simple geometry and its effectiveness, the O-Ring has become the most utilized sealing system. With the further development of the materials, still today there is a constant improvement of the variety and the safety of the applications. It's our aim to offer a qualitatively outstanding assortment, able to cover the whole range of applications. For you as a customer this means that you can purchase everything from one source. We shall be pleased to advise you on the telephone or personally.

Hydraulic and pneumatic seals
The reliability of hydraulic and pneumatic components is strongly dependent on the deployed sealing systems. The requirements sealing systems have to meet in this context are varied. They depend on the medium in place, the pressure and temperature conditions, the reciprocal movements and the chosen construction type of the component

Radial and axial shaft seals, mechanical seals
The sealing of a moving shaft presents a special situation. In addition to the static sealing on one side of the seal, we have to seal the moving shaft. According to the installation, the sealing can be made radially or axially. The proper seals have to be deployed in this complex requirement. Possible seals range from simple shaft seals until compression loadable PTFE lip seals or mechanical seals.

Gaskets and gasketing sheets
Flat gaskets are always used when two flat surfaces have to be sealed statically. A typical example are piping systems with flange couplings and frame components with flat surfaces. There are almost no limits to the shape of these gaskets and thus to the requirements that can be met with in terms of media, temperatures and pressure. And as varied are the materials used, ranging from cork and rubber to high tech plastic materials and compound materials (for instance, plastic/metal), up to graphite and metal/graphite.

Packings
Packing glands belong to the oldest sealing elements. No other sealing type has reached the huge variety of their fields of applications to this day. With packings, it is possible to seal safely static and dynamic stroke or rotation movements in a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Thanks to the still ongoing development of new materials, the range of applications that can be covered with packings is still growing. And last but not least, packings are an low priced solution.

Isolation materials
Isolation materials reduce the diffusion of heat. They are thus deployed where energy has to be saved or where the environment has to be protected from a heat source. In the broadest sense, they therefore are seals, whereupon the "medium" - unlike the traditional sealing situations - is the heat, which has to be stemmed. For our products, only fibres of glass and silicon oxide are used. Isolations made of these materials are harmless for health.

PTFE Products
PTFE is a high tech plastic with extraordinary properties. PTFE means Polytetrafluoroethylene. This material has become famous especially under the trademark Teflon of DuPont. Two of the excellent characteristics are the chemical resistance and the physiological innocuousness unrivalled by the other plastics. The temperature resistance also reaches very good values, i.e. almost 300 °C, and the conductivity values as well. Thus, this material is not only very appropriate for seals but also for technical components of every kind in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food processing industry.

Profiles
Profiles can be produced in any geometry, according to the use and depending on the used materials. In our assortment we have a number of standard profiles for industry use. On top of these relatively simple products we offer also high tech profiles, in particular inflatable seals. They are available for example in silicone with integrated silver ions. This material prevents the development of bacteria and micro-biofilm, thus improving the process reliability. They are of particular interest for the pharmaceutical and the food processing industries.

Technical Springs
Small or big series. Compression or traction spring. Normal or stainless steel. Sheet or wire bent part. Our choice of technical springs complies with every wish.

Protective Covering
You have the machine - We have the protective covering. Where expensive threaded spindles or slipways are exposed to harsh operating conditions or dirt, our customized elastc protective coverings are an efficient and economical solution.

Coupling
Couplings in machines and installations have to satisfy a great variety of requirements. And still, they all have something in common: they need to last. Which they only do if they are of a very high quality and specially conceived for your environment. For this, you can rely on our products.

Moulded Elastomer Parts
Moulded elastomer parts need to be very well thought-out down to the tiniest detail. Even minimal deviations influence the final product. This is what you can expect from us: Individual development of your moulded elastomer parts Optimal realisation thanks to our own tool making The right rubber compound thanks to our expertise Precise manufacturing with state of the art machines High end products on which you can rely

Gigant-O® - O-Rings with large inner diameters
New: Kubo now offers you cost-effective O-rings with practically unlimited inner diameters and at the same time all the properties of a standard O-ring.

PROLAST-O® - HIGH PERFORMANCE FFPM SEALS
In specific application areas with agressive media and high temperatures, standard elastomers like NBR, Viton® or EPDM cannot stand up to the requirements any more. Perfluorelastomers are top-class materials. They are extremely resistant against acids, amines, bases, ultra-pure de-ionized water, vapour, solvents and detergents. Even at high temperatures, seals made of Prolast-O® remain operational and therefore prolong the maintenance intervals and increase safety. KUBO produces seals made of FFPM/FFKM Prolast-O® for the highest requirements on its own premises in Effretikon, near Zurich. With our many years of experience and our vast stock of tools we can produce the required seal within a short time. WHY CHOSE PROLAST-O® ? Fast delivery (2-3 weeks, in case of existing tools) Own tool construction and production of moulds in Effretikon Vast stock of tools (particularly for standard dimensions) Longstanding experience Quality assurance with automatic optical measurement of O-rings Highest chemical resistance Food and pharma conformities Highest temperature resistance Low compression set Small quantities starting from 1 piece PROLAST-O® PRODUCTS O-rings and other moulded parts: Micro O-rings and micro parts Interior diameter > 0.5 mm Cross section diameter > 0.5 mm Maximum size of O-rings/moulded parts Ø 500 mm Smaller or bigger dimensions upon specific customer request O-rings with larger interior diameters can be butt joint vulcanized from cords upon request. Our premium product for large O-rings are our Gigant-O® Delivery time 2-3 weeks, in case of existing tools COMPOUNDS Four different FFPM compounds are available as a standard.
