In many mechanical applications and machinery and equipment types, there is a need to prevent operator contact with moving parts or to avoid the ingress of particles and other foreign matter into mechanical components.

Boots and bellows are often required in a material which at one and the same time is flexible, durable, and hard-wearing – and the wide range of rubber materials currently available is ideal for this purpose.

Examples of applications for bellows, boots, and covers:

· Medical equipment

· Vacuum cleaners and workshop equipment

· Washing machines

· Computers and computer hardware

· Office and workplace furniture

· Shafts and linkage systems in machinery and transport equipment
