Shore hardness indicates how resilient or stiff a rubber is. The right value is decisive for the sealing, damping and service life of your profile.
Shore A versus Shore D
- Shore A: soft to medium, ideal for seals
- Shore A 60–80: the most commonly used range for profiles
- Shore D: hard, for rigid and load-bearing applications
- Measured with a calibrated durometer
