Truck Trailer Weather Seals

Truck, Trailer Weather Seals, & Gaskets

As the leading manufacturer of extruded profiles for trucks and trailers, Advanced Plastic has sealed up the transportation industry. Our transportation products have been used extensively by the largest and most prestigious U.S. truck and trailer manufacturers since we entered this market over 30 years ago.

Our story begins in the 80s when Met-L-Wood challenged us to transform a standard swing door trailer gasket. This challenge led to the creation of the dual durometer PVC seal, which is still widely used in the industry.

Advanced Plastic has built on this success, leveraging in-house tooling and strong customer relationships to develop innovative products and value-added solutions to the truck trailer industry.

Materials

With decades of experience catering to the transportation industry, we’ve worked with virtually every material used in the manufacturing of weather seals, gaskets, liners, conduits, moldings, insulators, and jambs. This expertise translates into the selection of the most appropriate material for the task at hand. Whether an application requires thermal insulation, sound dampening, rigidity, flexibility, or extreme durability (or a blend of various characteristics), our engineers know exactly which materials to use.

Below are some of materials we use in the production of the highest quality truck and trailer weather seals:

• ABS
• Rigid PVC
• Flexible PVC
• Low Coefficient of Friction Flexible PVC
• HDPE
• LDPE
• TPE
• TPV
• HIPS
