Automotive Silicone Sealing Heritage — Why It Matters for Horse Tack
Why our girth survives Nordic winters.
The Same Silicone That Seals Your Car Door Is in Your Horse's Girth.
12 years of automotive Tier-1 precision, now in every Rubbrex Equestrian product.
Automotive-Grade Discipline
For over a decade, our factory supplied silicone sealing components to automotive Tier-1 suppliers. Door seals, windshield gaskets, hood insulation — parts that must perform at -30℃ Nordic dawn and +85℃ Arizona summer without failure. A single defective seal can trigger a 10,000-vehicle recall. That ppm-level quality discipline is the foundation of every horse tack product we now manufacture.
Standards We Achieved in Automotive
IATF 16949
Automotive quality management system — higher rigour than ISO 9001.
FMVSS 302
Flammability resistance for automotive interiors — applies to stable-safety too.
ISO 12219 VOC
Low VOC emissions — critical for enclosed cabin and stable environments.
-40℃ to +150℃
Automotive-grade thermal cycling tolerance, translated to our tack.
Why This Matters for Horse Tack
The same compound families that pass FMVSS 302 flammability testing and long-term automotive weathering cycles are used in our Silicone Girth and Saddle Pad. That's why our products don't stiffen in Nordic winters or soften in Mediterranean summers. And why, when a distributor audits our factory, they find documentation that exceeds anything a horse-tack-only workshop can produce.
