Custom Santoprene TPV Extrusions for Solar Industry
At VIP Rubber & Plastic, we manufacture custom solar panel gap seals designed to perform in demanding outdoor environments. Using high-performance Santoprene TPV, our extruded seals provide long-term durability, flexibility, and consistent sealing for commercial solar installations.
From solar carports to rooftop and ground-mounted systems, our sealing solutions are engineered to protect against weather, accommodate movement, and maintain performance over time.
Solar Gap Seals
Vip Rubber and Plastic manufactures custom gap seals from Santoprene TPV for the solar industry. Manufacturing custom extrusions for 65+ years, we have the expertise and network to provide high-quality extrusions for your application.
Why Santoprene TPV?
Santoprene TPV is a thermoplastic vulcanizate that combines the resilience of rubber with the efficiency of thermoplastics. It is widely used in applications that require long-term exposure to outdoor conditions.
Material Benefits:
-
Excellent resistance to UV, ozone, and weathering
-
Maintains flexibility across a wide temperature range
-
Strong compression set resistance for long-term sealing performance
-
Resistant to water, moisture, and environmental exposure
-
Suitable for complex extruded profiles and co-extrusions
Applications in Solar Installations
Our custom solar gap seals are designed to meet the needs of commercial and industrial solar systems.
Typical Applications Include:
- Solar carport sealing systems
- Panel-to-panel gap sealing
- Rooftop solar mounting structures
- Ground-mounted solar arrays
- Expansion joints and structural interfaces
Each profile is engineered to fit securely within your system while allowing for thermal expansion and movement.
Built for Demanding Environments
Solar installations are exposed to continuous environmental stress. Our Santoprene TPV gap seals are engineered to withstand:
-
Prolonged sun exposure
-
Temperature fluctuations
-
Wind, rain, and debris
-
Mechanical movement and vibration
The result is a sealing solution that helps maintain system integrity and reduce maintenance over time.
