Key Features and Benefits
Precise Fit for Jaguar XK 150
This waist strip seal is specifically designed for use on the Jaguar XK 150 Type Roadster, ensuring a perfect fit as a waist strip seal. It helps provide protection from environmental elements and keeps the car looking and performing like new. The dimensions of 14.9mm by 17.6mm ensure a secure and snug application for this iconic vehicle.
Versatility Across Applications
While it is primarily used within the Jaguar automotive industry, the unique profile of this EPDM seal makes it highly versatile. Its design is compatible with other classic and modern vehicles, making it a flexible solution for a wide range of automotive restoration and sealing needs. It is also suitable for bespoke industrial applications, offering effective sealing on metal, wood, and plastic surfaces.
High-Quality EPDM Rubber
Manufactured from premium EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer), this waist strip seal offers outstanding durability and performance. EPDM is a highly versatile rubber compound known for its resistance to chemicals, UV radiation, air, and ozone. This makes the waist strip ideal for use in a wide range of environmental conditions, providing longevity and reliability.
Bonding Flexibility
This seal can be bonded to most clean, flat surfaces, such as metal, wood, and plastic. For optimal adhesion, we recommend using high-quality adhesives such as S136 or A262, both available for purchase on our website. These adhesives ensure a strong, long-lasting bond that will keep the waist strip securely in place, no matter the surface.
Durability in Harsh Conditions
EPDM is highly resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for use in a variety of industries and automotive applications. With a Shore A hardness of 70°, similar to the rubber found on car tyres, it provides a perfect balance of flexibility and strength. The material is suitable for use in environments with a temperature range between -40°C to +120°C, ensuring it performs well under both cold and hot conditions.
Not Suitable for Oil or Fuel Exposure
While EPDM offers exceptional resistance to most chemicals, UV rays, air, and ozone, it is not recommended for environments that may come into contact with oil or fuel. For applications where oil or fuel exposure is likely, other materials may be more appropriate.
