Rubber and plastics extrusion company Jaeger-Unitek has released a new white paper it has entitled: “Integrated One Component Recreational Vehicle Slide-Out Seal: A Systematic Approach to Eliminate Water Leaks.”
“By capitalizing on Jaeger’s experience of using proven automotive grade, highly engineered polymers, the historical approach of a two-piece slide-out seal can be consolidated into a single, integrated, multi-polymeric profile. The benefit for RV manufacturers is the reduction of unique part numbers, inventory storage space, and improved installation processes. These highly engineered materials have been extensively tested in harsh ultraviolet and temperature cycling environments producing durable seals that eliminate water, dust, and temperature intrusions.
“‘Today’s RV’s offers consumers all the comfort features of home, including the expanded living space created by slide-out rooms. Our engineering team created the one component slide-out sealing system which utilizes multiple polymeric materials within a single seal,’ commented Kevin Casey, president, Jaeger-Unitek. ‘By specifying the best-in-class polymers to withstand extreme temperatures and UV exposure, our customers can leverage proven automotive technologies to meet the challenge of effective sealing, while improving performance and lowering total costs.’”
