QD Series

Ultrafab industrial brush seals (or skirting seals) are designed to meet the demands of the most damaging high traffic industrial or commercial applications – whether they use extruded sealing or brush based elements. Our two popular industrial brushes include the Ultrafab® Q Series and Ultrafab® QD Series. These seals and sweeps provide you with the options you need to build a more efficient product at a reduced cycle time.

Features & Benefits

Eliminate the need for an aluminum extrusion with an integrated plastic mounting tab that provides full flexibility for ease of assembly and overall reduction in shipping costs.

Flexible Functionality

  • Customized sealing and endurance available when fin, yarn, and monofilament are combined or used individually
  • Maximized possible seal configurations when seal is welded directly to backing
  • Easy-to-penetrate mounting tab by standard screw, no pre-punched holes required
  • Tab welded skirting can bed along a radius for a complete seal
  • Unrestricted shipping length when shipped on a roll
  • Easy mounting with available stamped holes or adhesive
  • See industrial brush seal advantages below for complete list

Effective

  • Decreased friction and interference when fin is cut below media surface
  • Prevents dirt, water, and air infiltration with high density seals
  • Increased environmental sealing with available solid fin

Durable

  • Maximized resistance to compression when regular fibers are mixed with extra durable monofilaments
  • Long-term resistance and resiliency to environmental elements with added fins
  • Maximized resistance to compression with yarn and monofilament hybrid
  • Each fiber individually welded to the backing to eliminate pull-out
  • Chemical resistant, non-corrosion

Specifications

  • Materials: standard polypropylene, nylon backing or filaments with monofilaments or fin options
  • Colors: black, white, gray, brown, beige
