Extruded Rubber
 We
offer a variety of different elastomers developed in response to
specific requirements. Materials include SBR, Neoprene, Silicone,
EPDM, Nitrile, Santoprene, and Viton. We evaluate your material
& application requirements so that you can make an informed
decision on the best available material solution for your specific
application.
Durometer is a measure of the hardness of rubber
using a Shore A scale. Material hardness typically ranges between
soft 30 to hard 90.
We offer a variety of both sponge and dense
materials and also dual durometer material options which combine
different material hardnesses and co-extrusion options which combine
two different materials.
Curing of material depends upon product application.
That is why we offer a range of options including salt bath, autoclave,
convection, hot air, microwave, and mandrel.
Specialized processes include:
- Lathe cutting for precision tolerance parts.
- Throp cutting for economy.
- Extrusions which utilize cord for example:
heater hose
- Flocking found on window channels for automotive
applications. The purpose of flock is to decrease friction found
during the raising and lowering of glass against the window seal.
- Vulcanization is the process of making gaskets
endless. Vulcanization is available for both sponge and dense
profiles.
- Cold splice or use of an adhesive to make
endless gaskets is an economical alternative to vulcanizing.
- Utilization of spring steel or wire carrier
core within the extrusion for creating a functional seal without
use of fasteners while maintaining a decorative edge.
- Nylon core extrusions which are typically
found in belting and heater hose.
- Application of tapes
- Rubber based
- Acrylic
- Heat Activated
Prototypes
Producing a designed part involves variables
of dimensions, tolerances, materials and environment. We offer prototyping
capability so that the design may be tested and evaluated in application
with minimal cost.
