Elastomeric rail products include rail boots, tie pads, and other rubber extruded products used by the railroad industry. These products are made from a variety of thermoplastic and elastomeric materials that are flexible, lightweight and have excellent shear and tensile strength. In railway applications, these materials help insulate components from electrical currents and reduce track …
Rail systems act as a means of transportation, whether it be groups of people commuting on the subway or a freight train delivering goods across the country. As opposed to road transport, in which the vehicles travel on a flat surface, rail transport is reliant on tracks. Railroad structure consists of rails, fasteners, railroad ties, …
Safe flights rely on good weather, skilled pilots, and a fully functional plane. The last thing you want when flying is for the plane to malfunction. That’s why having the appropriate products is important. The aerospace industry uses rubber extrusions and molded products in jet engines, vehicle engines, and other mission-critical applications. These rubber products …
All window seals have the same basic job, whether they’re used on semi-trucks or recreational watercraft. The challenge, however, is finding something flexible enough to match your design needs while providing the durability and weatherability needed to withstand long-term exposure to the elements. A failed seal allows moisture and humidity to breach the window, causing …
Rubber extrusions are our bread and butter, and we manufacture custom rubber, silicone, and plastic extruded profiles and moldings for engineers and OEMs across a broad range of industries. We utilize standard and high-performance elastomeric materials in a variety of durometers and will help you find the right compound for your application. Our rubber extrusions …
Chemical resistance refers to the ability of a substance to maintain its integrity during chemical exposure for a specific period of time. Therefore, a product that is chemically resistant is able to protect itself against a chemical attack or solvent reaction without resulting in degradation or corrosion. The greater the chemical resistance, the lower the …
Expansion joint seals create a flexible transition point between adjacent concrete or cement panels, allowing the structure to expand and contract with temperature changes and move with minor seismic shifts or strong winds without damage. They can also provide a waterproof seal between panels to prevent water and debris penetration, making them a critical component …
Molded seals and extruded seals include plugs, gaskets and other components used by a wide range of industries including automotive, medical, industrial, aerospace, construction and more. Rubber seals are easily customized and can be manufactured using various materials and processes to meet the design requirements of virtually any application. If you need a flexible seal …
Rubber moldings include seals, gaskets and other custom molded rubber products made from elastomers that provide high durability and elasticity. Precision molded rubber products are ideal for indoor and outdoor sealing because they can withstand a wide temperature range and return to their original shape after being distorted. Examples of industrial molded rubber products include: …
Rubber is an elastic, durable, and waterproof substance used in a variety of applications, and it comes in two different forms: natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is almost exactly what it sounds like–rubber that is created through natural sources. Natural rubber is present within nature through different types of plants, including Hevea Brasiliensis …
