When durability, elasticity, and precision are non-negotiable, molded rubber products offer a reliable solution across a wide range of industries. From aircraft gaskets to automotive seals, custom molded components are built to perform—indoors or out, under pressure, and in changing environments.
At Northwest Rubber Extruders, Inc., we specialize in manufacturing custom molded rubber parts using advanced molding techniques and lean production processes. Whether you need simple shapes or complex geometries, our team is equipped to deliver high-quality, high-performance parts with fast turnaround times.
What is Rubber Molding?
Rubber molding is a process by which components are formed by placing elastomeric material (uncured rubber) into a precision-engineered mold, then applying heat and pressure to create the final shape. These products are designed to withstand:
- Extreme temperature fluctuations
- Distortion or compression
- Environmental exposure (chemicals, moisture, UV)
Thanks to their elasticity and toughness, molded rubber parts return to their original form even after being stretched, compressed, or deformed—making them ideal for sealing, cushioning, and protecting.
Common Molded Rubber Products
We produce a wide variety of industrial molded rubber products, including:
- Aircraft Gaskets – Designed for high-altitude performance and material integrity
- Automotive Seals – Perfect for under-hood and exterior applications
- Bellows – Used to protect moving joints and reduce contamination
- Chemical-Resistant Seals – Withstand aggressive solvents and fluids
- Grommets – Provide strain relief and protect through-holes
- Industrial Gaskets – Used in manufacturing, machinery, and HVAC systems
- Window Seals – Durable seals for commercial and industrial glazing
