DURABLE RUBBER HATCH SEALS IN NOVA SCOTIA – SUPERIOR TO FOAM, BUILT TO LAST
At L. Himmelman Elastomers Limited, we specialize in manufacturing high-performance rubber hatch seals that outperform traditional foam alternatives. With over 45 years of experience, our Nova Scotia-based facility produces non-porous, solid rubber hatch seals designed to withstand the harsh conditions of marine and industrial environments.
WHY CHOOSE RUBBER OVER FOAM FOR HATCH SEALS?
Foam hatch seals are prone to water infiltration, cracking, and breakdown—especially in freezing conditions. Our solid rubber hatch seals eliminate these issues:
Non-porous material prevents water and debris infiltration
Long-lasting performance without cracking or chipping
Resistant to UV, oil, chemicals, and extreme temperatures
Custom shapes and sizes available for any application
Whether you're sealing hatches on boats, marine vessels, or industrial equipment, our rubber formulations are engineered for durability and reliability.
CUSTOM EXTRUSIONS FOR ANY HATCH SEAL APPLICATION
We offer hundreds of cross-sectional profiles, with hardness ranging from 5 durometer to 90 durometer, allowing for precise customization tailored to your specific needs. Our team can help you select the right rubber compound for your environment, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.

Standard shapes and sizes can be ordered directly using our Hatch Seal Order Form. We also welcome inquiries for custom designs.
