In addition, we monitor and apply current developments in rubber and polymer technology, and we use this knowledge to develop even more advanced materials which will benefit our customers.
Petroseals Rubber Membranes, Seals & Sheeting
DLR Elastomer Engineering has been at the forefront of manufacturing PVC/NBR (Poly Vinyl Chloride/ Acrylonitrile Butadiene (Nitrile) Rubber), fire retardant Neoprene and other rubber polymer products for the bulk oil, petrol, and gas tank storage industry. Floating roof storage tanks rely on the rubber coated fabric and wipers to keep volatile vapors from escaping to atmosphere and to keep rain/snow/dirt out. We supply safety and vapor stop seals, tube seals, scuff bands, fire shields, wiper seals and many other variants for the sealing between tank wall and roof.
Rubber Bellows & Expansion Joints
Bellows and expansion joints serve a range of diverse roles, such as reducing noise and vibration, protecting mechanical elements from dust, resisting the potential impact of shifting temperatures and pressure, and curbing the effects of misalignment. Here at DLR Elastomer, we have been helping our customers with their custom rubber requirements for over 125 years. We combine our decades of experience and knowledge of rubber products with our design and manufacturing capabilities to produce some of the highest-quality rubber bellows and expansion joints that our industry partners need.

Polyurethane Casting & Moulding
Polyurethanes (PUs) are in a polymer class of their own. Polyether or polyester polyurethanes can be made depending on the choice of co-monomers used to produce them. PUs form a considerable part of the high-performance rubbers and plastics family. They combine the desired benefits of rigid materials with the elasticity of rubbers, bridging the gap between rubbers and plastics in the many industry sectors served by these versatile polymers.
PU rubber used in our polyurethane casting processes can easily be coloured, unlike regular millable rubbers and still exhibit better abrasion properties. Special materials can be added to obtain specific properties such as electrical conductivity. Polyether PUs are more resistant to hydrolysis than their polyester counterparts, giving them better water resistance.
