Dual durometer seals rubber products are extrusions with different areas of hardness. Typically, the harder rubber is used for attachment while the softer rubber is used for sealing. Sometimes, different materials are used because of design considerations such product color schemes or the use of pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs).

By fabricating dual durometer rubber into a single part, a product such as window seal can have areas with different physical properties to meet application requirements. With window channels, the harder window rubber attaches to the window frame and the softer window rubber faces the glass window. Durometer is not limited to window seals, however, and is used with both sponge and solid profiles.
Hebei Shida Seal Group is a IATF 16949 certified manufacturer, supplier, and exporter of custom dual durometer seals, EPDM seals and gaskets, dual durometer rubber extrusions for automotive, heavy truck, among other industries from Hebei, China.

KIYOSU, Japan–Toyoda Gosei Co., Ltd., through its regional headquarters in China1 (Toyoda Gosei China), is purchasing a majority stake in Hubei Rock Rubber and Seal Technology Co., Ltd. (“Hubei Rock”) to strengthen its automotive parts business in China, the world’s largest automobile market2.
Hubei Rock, located in central China, is an independent supplier that provides weatherstrips mainly to Dongfeng Motor Corporation, one of China’s “Big Three” automakers, and its joint venture companies with Japanese and other foreign manufacturers, including Dongfeng Honda Automobile Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile Co., Ltd.
Toyoda Gosei China plans to purchase 60% shares from Hubei Rock’s parent company, Hubei Zhengao Automotive Accessories Co., Ltd., for approximately 800 million yen3 in December 2018.
Toyoda Gosei’s decision to invest in Hubei Rock was made with the aim of rapidly expanding its business in the region by merging the Toyoda Gosei Group’s technology and knowledge in product design and production, cultivated as a global supplier of rubber and plastic parts, with Hubei Rock’s track record and sales channels built up over many years of business with automakers in central China.
With this partnership, Toyoda Gosei’s production network in China will expand to 4 locations: TG Star Light in northern China, Foshan TGR and Fu-Yue in southern China, and now Hubei Rock in Central China. Toyoda Gosei considers China to be a crucial market, and will continue to strengthen its development and production networks there.

IATF 16949:2016 (replaces ISO/TS 16949:2009) is a standard that establishes the requirements for a Quality Management System (QMS), specifically for the automotive sector. The ISO/TS 16949 was originally created in 1999 to harmonize different assessment and certification schemes worldwide in the supply chain for the automotive sector.
The primary focus of the IATF 16949 standard is the development of a Quality Management System that provides for continual improvement, emphasizing defect prevention and the reduction of variation and waste in the supply chain. The standard, combined with applicable Customer-Specific Requirements (CSR’s), define the QMS requirements for automotive production, service and/or accessory parts.
IATF 16949:2016 is an independent QMS standard that is fully aligned with the structure and requirements of ISO 9001:2015. Therefore, the IATF 16949 cannot be implemented alone as a stand-alone document, but must be implemented as a supplement and in conjunction with ISO 9001:2015.
After October 01, 2017, audits cannot be conducted to ISO/TS 16949 and organizations must transition to the new IATF 16949 in line with their current audit cycle, according to the allowable timing requirements. Failure to conduct the audit within the allowable timing requirements requires the organization to start over with an initial certification audit. The transition audit shall be the duration of a recertification audit plus additional time for a documentation review. All supporting functions on site or at a remote location shall be included in the transition process.
A Quality Management System based on IATF 16949:
The IATF 16949 standard provides guidance and tools for companies and organizations who want to ensure that their products consistently meet customer requirements and that quality and customer satisfaction are consistently improved. Requirements for certification to IATF 16949 are defined in the 2016 Revision 5 of the rules for achieving and maintaining IATF recognition.
The IATF 16949 standard is a supplemental standard and is used in conjunction with the ISO standards:
IATF 16949 defines the criteria for an automotive-based QMS with the goal to become 3rd party registered. It can be used by any supplier, large or small, and should be applied throughout the automotive supply chain. In fact, there over 65,000 suppliers worldwide which are currently certified to ISO/TS 16949. All requirements of IATF 16949 are applicable unless suppliers do not provide product design related functions. Requirements are generic and are intended to be applicable to any supplier providing design and development, production and, when relevant, assembly, installation and services of automotive related products, including products with embedded software. The IATF 16949 standard is applicable to sites of the organization where manufacturing of customer-specified production parts, service parts, and/or accessory parts occur.
The standard is based on seven Quality Management Principles, including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement.
These Quality Management Principles are defined as follows:
Implementing IATF 16949 ensures that customers receive consistent, good quality products and services, which in turn may bring many business benefits. IATF 16949 specifies requirements for a Quality Management System when an organization wants to:
Compliance to the IATF 16949 standard can be done at any time but is typically used when:
Organizations’ deciding to develop and implement any new or improved QMS is a strategic decision. All efforts should be focused on the identification and minimization of risk while meeting and exceeding customer and organizational goal and objective requirements.
Organizations should make a commitment to:
IATF 16949 Compliance can be achieved through Seven Phase Approach:

Fire Retardant Rubber Seal
A slip coat is a coating applied to the surface of a seal in order to reduce abrasion and increase seal life. Usually slip coating is applied to glass run channel and other dynamic seal applications. The job of the slip coat is to keep the seal working – allowing, for example, a glass window to move in and out – while not scuffing or marring the material running in and out of its channels. Slip coats keep seals from being harmed by cleaning products, they don’t fade over time, and generally are weatherproof.
Flocking is similar to slip coating but has a definite look and texture. The process involves applying a flocking spray or flocking powder to the surface of the seal to insulate, absorb water, dampen vibration, and reduce friction. Most flocking is black because the seal it is attached to is also black. Flocking is found in auto windows – and in many other applications demanding weatherproofing of some sort.
Tape is a means of attaching a seal to another surface. Usually the seal is manufactured with an adhesive side affixed in place on the seal and a second adhesive side protected by a covering which is removed during a later stage of the manufacturing or assembly process.
A seal attachment includes adhesives and mechanical fasteners. Both are meant to join a seal to another surface and each as its pro’s and con’s. Adhesive attachments (including tape) can be temporary or permanent and may work in conjunction with mechanical fasteners. Mechanical fasteners include wire carrier seals, kerf insertions, multi-durometer extrusions, and push-pin seals, one of the most common in the auto industry.
