Weather strip A purpose-made strip fitted around doors and windows to reduce infiltration. 

Reducing infiltration. Traditional brute force approaches to weather stripping were redesigned to reduce infiltration with less material that contacted a larger surface area. New materials such as thermoplastic elastomers offered additional potential to control for infiltration. But perhaps the most important way to control infiltration is proper installation. 

Matsushita et al. [127] prepared compositions showing good vulcanizability containing EPDM reclaim. Weather-strip wastes comprising of sulfur-cured EPDM mbber (containing 50% carbon black) were kneaded at 300°C and 3 MPa and extruded to give a rubber (Mw 200,000 gel content 65%), 25 parts of which was mixed with unvulcanized SBR 75, carbon black 37.5, and sulfur 1.3...

More than 800 million pounds of EPM and EPDM polymers were produced in the United States in 2001. Their volume ranks these materials fourth behind styrene-1,3-butadiene copolymers, poly( 1,4-butadiene), and butyl rubber as synthetic rubbers. EPM and EPDM polymers have good chemical resistance, especially toward ozone. They are very cost-effective products since physical properties are retained when blended with large amounts of fillers and oil. Applications include automobile radiator hose, weather stripping, and roofing membrane.

Ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) energy may be used for preheating and precuring rubber compounds for continuous vulcanization (CV) of rubber, containing carbon black, for such applications as weather stripping, tubing, hose, and. in some instances, tire tread compounds. 

Uses. The major uses of metallic zinc are in the manufacture of alloys and in the use of zinc as a protective coating on other metallic products, notably iron and steel. Lesser quantities are employed in the manufacture of dry-cell batteries, sinks, gutters, cornices, weather strips, and so forth. The use of zinc in connection with the metallurgy of lead has already been described. In chemical laboratory work, zinc is one of the most widely used reducing agents.

Examples of some of the current uses for these adhesives include retention of automotive gaskets, weather stripping, side trim, and wiring harnesses athletic shoes swim masks shotgun recoil pads arrow feathers dolls and doll furniture circuit board component mounting and wire tacking and lipstick tube and compact mirrors. Aledical devices include balloon catheters and tubing sets the adhesives are used by morticians to seal eyes and lips. 

Many billions of pounds of polymer are extruded annually into products ranging from household plumbing pipe to thin film grocery sacks, textile fibers to weather stripping. In fact, almost all polymer passes through an extruder at some point, since many polymerization reactors feed extruders in order to include additives and to pelletize. Furthermore, most primary processing... 

Covers polyurethane foam pressure-sensitive adhesive tape used for weather stripping, dust sealing, damping, thermal insulation, sound absorption, and packaging. The specification was validated 6 July 1988.
