MEFOFLEX – coatings with foamed rubber

Coatings with MefoFlex

A NEW DIMENSION
THE RUBBER COATING
OF METALS

Foamed rubber MefoFlex

With our new HUEHOCO rubber extrusion line, we are able to apply foamed elastomer layers in layer thicknesses from 200 up to 2,000 μm in a single pass – on one or both sides. This not only enables us to achieve enormous energy savings, but also to massively reduce_{CO2 emissions} at high rubber layer thicknesses compared with the liquid coating previously used. The positive impact on the environment is so great that the German Ministry of the Environment has found the investment worthy of support.

Typical application areas

Rubber-metal compounds

Our bonding agent structure provides a strong bond between our backing material and your rubber. The adhesion between the belt coated with adhesion promoter and the rubber compound is usually created by the vulcanization process (e.g. in the TM as well as in the IM process at our end customers, but also when rubberizing the material at our coil coating or rubber extrusion line).

Seal

Motors, pumps, housings, fittings, flanges, fuel cells, electronics, e-motors

Damping + Insulation

brake linings, doors, gates, flaps, covers, machine and equipment housings, cabins, containers, facades, window sills, roofs, gutters, facade construction, ventilation + air conditioning, HI-FI boxes, sinks, metal stairs, room acoustics, car body parts

Isolation

fasteners, bearings, equipment feet, floor coverings, washers

Surfaces

Stair treads, tread plates, anti-slip plates, protective plates, writing pads, facade construction, magnetic boards, trays, roof boxes, floor coverings, claddings

More economy

Of course, we will deliver the coated coils in the presentation of your choice. Whether individual single ring packaging with and without cardboard core or wound goods on cardboard core, plastic spools or metal winding racks.

Coiled metal strips

More running length

In order to increase the running lengths, we join the metal strips using the latest welding technology and oscillatingly wind them onto new spools. In this way, we reduce set-up and downtimes in your production.

Optimizations:

Strip widths from 1.5 mm up to 60 mm
Extension of the running length to over 200,000 meters in one core depending on the material
Individual installation widths from 100 to 400 mm
Special decoiling racks with winding widths of 800 mm and maximum winding weights of 2,500 kg
