Plugs & Stoppers
Rubber stoppers are flexible sealing components designed to block, cap or protect openings during manufacturing, storage or transport. They are commonly used to seal test tubes, pipe ends, fittings and containers and are also used within production lines to prevent leaks, contamination or material loss. Thanks to their durable and elastic properties rubber stoppers provide a dependable seal across a wide range of industrial consumer and laboratory applications.
Masking plugs for powder coating are specialised high temperature plugs designed to withstand curing ovens and prevent coating from entering threaded holes, bores or cavities. They maintain clean surfaces during coating, ensure perfect finish quality and reduce rework. These powder coating plugs are widely used in metal fabrication, engineering, automotive refinishing and manufacturing when precision masking is required.
