Many users working with smoking-pipe filters, sealing components, lab setups, or custom DIY builds often face the same problems:
poor sealing, hardening materials, deformation under heat, and components that age too quickly.
These issues interrupt performance, reduce product quality, and require constant rework.

One customer manufacturing smoking-pipe filter inserts experienced exactly this situation.
Conventional rubber rods softened under heat, released odor, and cracked over time, making assembly difficult and causing inconsistent filter performance.
