Superior recovery

Q-LON returns to its original shape after long compression, even under extremely cold or warm weather conditions.

Q-LON features

Made with a unique combination of materials and with technical performance unparalleled by any other material used in seals, Schlegel Q-Lon offers the highest standard of sealing function – even under extreme conditions.

Excellent memory

The original formulation of Q-LON enables it to return to its original shape after being compressed up to 50% more than other extruded seals, even at extremely low temperatures.

Test performed in accordance with classification E 12365 on a selection of Q-LON seals compared with extruded seals.

Very low thermal conductivity

Q-LON polyurethane seals offer the lowest thermal conductivity on the market (0.04 W/m•K at 0ºC), 3 to 6 times better than other materials.

Test performed in accordance with EN 12667:2001 standard in comparison with extruded gaskets.

Everlasting

The external polyethylene film is not altered by paints, detergents or dyes. Its high resistance to atmospheric conditions and UV radiation ensures that Q-LON lasts three times longer than the most common foam seals.

Accelerated ageing test performed according to DIN EN ISO 4892-2 on a selection of Q-LON and other seals on the market.

Effortless and perfect adherence

Thanks to the characteristic softness and adaptability of Q-LON, windows require a low compression force when closing. Q-LON therefore continues to provide a tight seal even when the window undergoes alterations due to temperature fluctuations or ageing.

Excellent sound insulation

Exceptional acoustic insulation performance thanks to high compression ability. Up to 4 dB noise reduction compared with extruded seals.

Test performed to UNI EN ISO 10140-2 on a selection of Q-LON seals compared with extruded seals.

Also for sliding doors

Compared with common brush seals, Q-LON offers highly superior air/water tightness, noise insulation performance and styling.

Tested for friction damage on sliding doors to 40,000 cycles.
