Engine Hood Seals

High-temperature resistant, multi-component profiles with features including integrated reinforcement of the mounting foot and functional paint finish of the sealing surface
Attachment of moulded parts to optimally reflect engine hood geometry
Functionality in a broad range of temperatures from -40 °C to +150 °C, high resistance to temperature cycling

Poppe engine hood seals are synonymous with innovative product design and application-specific material development. Among other things, they play an essential role in stable thermal management in the engine compartment and prevent exhaust gas and vapor from entering the vehicle’s fresh air system.

Water Tank Seals

Multi-component profiles with features including integrated stretch protection and functional paint finish of the sealing surface
Media resistance against cleaning and conservation media
High noise insulation between engine and vehicle interior

Water tank seals are used for the targeted drainage of rainwater, meltwater and washer fluid from the windshield. The main aim is to prevent exhaust gas and vapor from entering the fresh air system. Thanks to our wide range of process technologies and our broad portfolio of materials, we are involved in water tank development right from the start.

Hoses

Media-carrying hoses for applications such as tank and drainage systems
Abrasion-proof, dampening protective hoses for applications such as pipeline systems
Media resistance against media such as oil, diesel, petrol, Ad Blue and water

Poppe’s media-carrying hoses offer a high degree of precision in terms of dimensional accuracy and roundness. Specialty production techniques allow us to achieve the most sensitive tolerances and manufacture hoses with small wall thicknesses. In addition to manufacturing simple hoses, our portfolio extends to include the attachment of injection-moulded parts as connectors to the hose fittings.

Door Joint Seals

Multi-component profiles with integrated mounting system (adhesives, clips, fasteners) and functional/visible paint finish of the sealing surfaces
Media resistance against cleaning and protective medias

Poppe door joint seals are used to protect the entrance area of the vehicle against dirt deposits and to absorb driving noise, thereby increasing passenger comfort. Thanks to our intelligent design concept combining sealing and mounting functions, we are positioned as a reliable development partner for the automotive industry.
