Conformity with these standards ensured by EMKA forms a secure foundation, for the wide range of applications that sealing profiles are called to fulfil leaving design and installation engineers only to check that the material meets their specific requirements.
Standard sections for railway application include spring-cored clip on P types, D types, edge protectors and channel-fitted sections for all sorts of enclosures, cabinets and access panels where sealing or protection is an important part of their function.
