Lauren Manufacturing designed new as alternative to standard laminated seal methods in the automotive industry for applications such as hood to cowl, door frames and more.
Can also be applied to interior HMI Products to eliminate squeak and rattle and improve in plant assembly of electro-mechanical 
components.
The seal is designed from dense EPDM with an excellent compression set to ensure proper seal performance. With proper compression deflection performance, the seal will maintain its shape and orientation through continual opening and closing of the hood.
In addition some areas are not adhesive friendly due to the low surface energy levels and surface treatment for lamination would have been uneconomical due to the cost of preparation and labor; therefore an alternative attachment method was desired. In this particular application, the push-pin seal was the ideal choice to allow for easy assembly and installation, crucial for this Lauren customer.
