Rubber Elastic Closures for Quick Fastening of Lids and Covers
Barbieri Rubber elastic closures are elastic fastening devices used to close and lock lids, doors, tarpaulins, cases and industrial containers. They exploit rubber deformability to deliver controlled, repeatable closing tension. They are catalog rubber components, available in multiple lengths and compounds, some with metal or plastic end fittings (hooks, eyelets, loops).
What elastic closures are for
Elastic closures enable fast, repeatable fastening without complex mechanical tightening. They are used on trailer and truck tarpaulins, container lids, access doors to instruments and panels, removable frame fastening and accessories. Rubber provides the tension needed to keep the door closed without screws, complex hooks or locks, and is particularly suited where frequent opening and closing is needed.
Catalog standard version and custom designs
The standard range of elastic closures covers the most requested lengths, with co-molded or assembled end fittings. For custom geometries (special lengths, dedicated metal fittings, different sections) we produce closures on drawing: at least a preliminary drawing from the customer is required. The dedicated mold is manufactured in cooperation with our trusted toolmaking partners.
Frequently asked questions
Where are elastic closures used?
On trailer and truck tarpaulins, industrial container lids, access doors, transport cases, removable accessories. Ideal where frequent opening and closing without tools is required.
Are they available from stock?
Yes, the most requested lengths are standard catalog items, with no tooling cost for the customer. For custom lengths or dedicated fittings the custom-design version applies.
Are they resistant to outdoor exposure?
Yes, in EPDM compound. EPDM is the reference compound for UV, ozone and atmospheric agents, typical of closures for outdoor tarpaulins and tipper covers.
