- Weatherstrips
Weatherstrips seal the gaps at door frames and window frames to keep out wind, rain, and noise. These products are essential for comfortable cabin interiors.
1Opening trim weatherstrips
Sponging processes for rubber based on our material development and production technology reduce weight by about 30%.
2Door weatherstrips
These weatherstrips are affixed in the door opening via the frame or clips, and serve to protect the vehicle cabin from the elements. They also absorb impact when the door is opened and closed and help keep the vehicle cabin quiet.
3Door glass runs
Weight is reduced by about 30% with the use of a mixed material of rubber and plastic that has lower specific gravity.
4Outer weatherstrips
Outer weatherstrips help to remove the dirt and grime on door windows as they go up and down (open and close). At the same time, they prevent window glass vibration during driving and when the door is being opened and closed, and the noise that occurs with that vibration.
Improvements to exterior design are also possible by applying a brilliant foil to surfaces.
5Back weatherstrips
These are rubber products affixed to the body side of the trunk, protecting the trunk interior from the elements. They also absorb impact when the trunk is opened and closed and prevent backlash and rattle.
Development of weatherstrips that contribute to the creation of a quieter vehicle cabin space.
Development of a new system that combines weatherstrips under various conditions to enable experience of changes in sound within the cabin. The best combination of components can be proposed.
Simulation system to experience the driving sounds that will occur when equipped in vehicles.
Rubber recycling technology
We are using our proprietary devulcanization technology* to give new life to waste produced when manufacturing weatherstrip products. This high quality recycled rubber can then be reused.
* The chemical bonds that give rubber its elasticity are cleaved, returning the rubber to a raw material
(1) Thermal energy is applied to finely pulverized waste rubber with the friction of the screw
(2) By selectively cleaving the rubber and sulfur bonds at the molecular level, it is returned to the form of raw material rubber
