Elastomer-Lösungen
Elastic and resilient
HÜBNER got its start with the repair of conveyor belts and rubber components. Today the company produces a wide ranging spectrum of rubber and silicone products – from mini-components to seals weighing several kilograms. What makes the elastomers rubber and silicone so special? As industrially processed materials they display both elasticity and shape retention.
Elastomer solutions from HÜBNER are used in different industries around the world. For railway vehicles and other vehicles, the company produces window sealing systems, door profiles and finger protection profiles with integrated sensors. Products in the medical technology sector include silicone membranes for dialysis machines. Our products for the oil industry are particularly robust – they can withstand the extreme weather conditions in offshore settings as well as high pressure applications and contact with oil.
HÜBNER also has many years of experience in the defense technology sector. The company produces diving seals and other rubber products that are resistant to chemical and biological agents. Docking fenders and rub strakes for boats are also part of the product portfolio. HÜBNER provides individual elastomer solutions as required by the customer – manufactured as extruded, fabricated or molded parts. The company's development department has decades of experience and more than 600 recipes for rubber compounds that it brings to each new project.
The expert staff make use of the latest software such as SAP or CATIA as well as in-house toolmaking capacities. With these resources, the company produces molded and extrusions parts, injection-molded corners, rubber-metal and silicone-metal bonded components all in the highest quality. A full range of standard material testing – including for fire-safety requirements – is conducted in the company's own research laboratories by highly trained specialists.

One of the strengths of the company PolymerTechnik Ortrand (PTO) which HÜBNER acquired in 2006 is the wide range of materials it can process. It can handle all of the elastomers available on the market including silicone rubber as well as standard fabric types such as polyamide, polyester, cotton, felt and fleece.
In the production process, the elastomers are brought into a liquid form and then the fabrics are coated either through impregnation or brush application. Another processing method is solvent-free coating of fabrics with rubber compounds.
The material thickness can be adjusted as required by the customer as can the surface structure through vulcanization.
Elastomer-coated fabrics from the HÜBNER Group are not only mechanically robust, they also are highly resistant against UV light and other environmental factors. In addition, they provide high flame resistance. This makes them indispensable – particularly for applications with high fire-safety and general safety requirements, for example in buses and railway vehicles. For just this reason, HÜBNER uses materials in its own folding bellows production that are mainly produced from its own group company.

Working with the material polyurethane has been an important part of HÜBNER's production activities for decades. And the innovative characteristics of this material continue to be of great value to customers. Whether polyurethane is processed to be soft, highly resistant or flexible, it has successfully demonstrated its versatility over the past decades in all industrial areas.
On the basis of these manifold material characteristics, HÜBNER produces products that can fulfill many special requirements. The company has its own development department to prepare special high-grade formulations for individual customer wishes. HÜBNER products are used in applications ranging from the cushioning on operating tables to the bumpers on vehicles. Polyurethane's robust structure and outstanding durability make it particularly popular with customers – together with its very pleasing look and feel. In addition, we can supply polyurethane products painted or varnished as required.
In the transport segment, the company has extensive experience in the development of passive safety elements. These individual parts and complete systems
incorporate passive pedestrian protection into modern vehicle design. HÜBNER has made a name for itself over the years particularly in the rail transport sector as a specialist for flame retardant products made of polyurethane as well as for reaction injection molding (RIM) foams.
