Elastomers are materials that regain their original shape and size after the removal of a load or stressor. These materials are able to stretch extensively without breaking and have a wide range of temperature resistance. The term elastomeric is used to describe any material that contains the properties of an elastomer. Other elastomeric properties vary …
What Is An Extrusion? Extrusion is the process of creating objects with a fixed cross-sectional profile by pushing material through a die of the desired cross-section. A die is a thick, circular disk that contains one or more openings that create the shape of the desired profile. The extrusion process is advantageous compared to other …
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. Extruded silicone products are extruded in a range of shapes and are used to provide vibration dampening, noise reduction, thermal shielding and insulation, and …
Silicone cable jacketing material is used for a multitude of industrial applications because of its flexibility, UV resistance, chemical resistance, and temperature resistance. It can withstand a wide range of temperatures, spanning from approximately -67°F to 400°F (-55°C to 205°C). These properties make silicone jacketing ideal for medical applications where devices must withstand repeated cleaning, …
Flexible PVC tubing is used to provide protective cushioning and a comfortable grip on the handles of exercise equipment, medical and dental equipment, and other similar devices. If you’ve ever spent time at the gym, you’ve likely seen flexible PVC tubing covering the handles and grip bars on exercise bikes, treadmills, and the like. The …
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 …
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 …
