Elasto Proxy provides sealing and insulation solutions to the defense industry. Learn about our capabilities, and how we can help you with military projects.   

For over 35 years, Elasto Proxy has supplied defense contractors with low-to-medium volume quantities of rubber and plastic parts. Our first customer, Atlantic Defense Industries, deployed our sealing solutions on the boom hoist for a ten-ton military truck. Since then, Elasto Proxy has won numerous defense-related contracts for projects in both Canada and the United States.

Today, Elasto Proxy is a global company with offices and warehouses in North America and Europe. Our headquarters in Boisbriand, Quebec is also our main production facility. In addition to warehouses in Newmarket, Ontario and Sint-Niklaas, Elasto Proxy has a production facility in Simpsonville, South Carolina (USA).

Rubber and Plastic Parts for Military Projects

Elasto Proxy supplies custom components like these to the defense industry.

  • Rubber seals for vehicle doors, windows, and hatches
  • Military gaskets for generator sets and other equipment
  • Vibration mounts for sensitive electronic displays
  • Personal protection pads for confined spaces such as tanks
  • Specialty seals for engine exhaust and amphibious equipment
  • Parts for partitions and push-button tents
  • Thermal and acoustic insulation for engine compartments and cabs

Solving Sealing and Insulation Challenges

Elasto Proxy doesn’t just make parts. We also solve sealing and insulation challenges. For example, when a manufacturer of military vehicles needed to replace a leaky hatch seal, our technical team identified a rubber foam that wouldn’t over-compress. Our production personnel then cut lengths of this material to size and used film splicing to create high-quality hatch seals.

Custom seals aren’t all that we make, however. Because the big diesel engines in military vehicles run hot and loud, thermal acoustic insulation is essential. By creating insulation “sandwiches” from layers of elastomeric materials, Elasto Proxy helps to protect personnel and equipment. This custom insulation meets flame, smoke, and toxicity (FST) standards and withstands vehicle wash-downs.

In addition, Elasto Proxy fabricates EMI gaskets for military applications. These electrically conductive gaskets provide environmental sealing, resist electromagnetic interference (EMI), and meet MIL-DTL-83528 requirements.  By choosing EMI silicones that contain nickel-graphite instead of pure silver, military buyers can contain project costs while meeting shielding requirements.

Added Value for Defense Contractors

Defense contractors count on Elasto Proxy to recommend improvements at the start of new military programs, when the time is right for modifications. With existing programs, our solutions providers understand that the availability of spare parts is critical. That’s why we can provide one-off components, or larger but limited quantities of parts.

Even when a military program ends, prime contractors and subcontractors know they can trust Elasto Proxy to make spares and tackle old designs. We have a Controlled Goods Certificate and are AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified. As a woman owned small business, we can also help you to strengthen your Value Proposition under Canada’s Industrial and Technological Benefits Policy.  

Are you a defense contractor that needs low-to-medium volume quantities of high-quality rubber and plastic parts? Do you need to source rubber seals and gaskets, thermal and acoustic insulation, EMI shielding, or other components for military projects? Would you prefer a value-added partner instead of just a parts provider? Since 1989, Elasto Proxy has been ready for duty.
