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 …
Rubber is an elastic, durable, and waterproof substance used in a variety of applications. There are two types of rubber: natural and synthetic. Natural rubbers are tear and abrasion resistant, with dynamic flex fatigue characteristics. However, synthetic rubber is superior to natural rubber due to its thermal stability and resistance to oils and oxidizing agents. …
Plastics are a wide-range of polymer-based materials that are lightweight, durable, flexible, typically inexpensive to produce, and easily molded, extruded, or pressed into various shapes. There are different types of plastic, categorized by their structure, how they respond to heat, and whether they are naturally- or synthetically-derived. Structure: Plastics can be categorized by how their …
We produce rubber bumpers and flexible plastic bumpers in nearly any profile, length, or diameter you require. Simply provide us with your dock bumper design and we’ll take care of the rest. We use premium EPDM and Santoprene® materials, which offer reliable cushioning and protection, along with UV and water resistance to withstand the elements. …
The rubber extrusion process begins with a rubber compound being heated and fed into an extruder, where revolving screws carry the rubber toward a specially-made die in the desired shape of the extruded component. Temperature and pressure increase as the material is forced through the die opening. As it passes through the opening, the rubber …
We manufacture custom rubber, silicone, and plastic extruded profiles and moldings for engineers and OEMs across a broad range of industries. One of those is the construction industry. Construction applications require durable and high-performance materials that withstand exposure to the sun, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. Our available materials for construction extrusions include thermoplastics, silicone, …
What is silicone? Silicone is a product manufactured from silicon, an element found in sand. It has both rubber- and plastic-like properties and can be shaped or formed, softened or hardened into basically anything. Silicone has many benefits including tolerance to low and high temperatures, thermal stability, excellent insulation properties and resistance to water. It …
Rubber moldings transform into tangible products by transferring, compressing, or injecting raw rubber material into a metal mold cavity. Rubber moldings provide high durability and elasticity and are in common products such as rubber seals, mounts, pads, suction cups, and more. Additionally, synthetic or natural rubber moldings have many useful attributes such as complex configurations …
While it is ultimately up to the user to determine the suitability of a material for their project, this information is good to use as a starting point in selecting an elastomeric material for a specific application. Below are some questions that we believe are helpful to consider. What are the service conditions that the …
