Bulb seals are one of the most versatile types of extruded gaskets. They feature a rounded, flexible “bulb” portion that compresses to create a tight seal against air, water, dust, and noise. The design makes them highly effective in a wide range of applications where consistent sealing performance is required.
At Meltpoint Plastics, our bulb profiles can be customized in size, shape, and material depending on the performance requirements. We extrude bulbs in silicone, EPDM, and other elastomers, with options for single-material or coextruded designs.
