Custom Molded Rubber Parts: Materials
The Rubber Group has developed custom compounds to meet tight dimensional tolerances, demanding environmental conditions, and challenging product specifications. These elastomers include:
- silicone
- fluorinated silicone
- Viton™
- fluorocarbons
- nitrile (Buna-N)
- neoprene
- EPDM
- natural rubber
Custom Molded Rubber Products: Specifications
Many of the compounds for our custom molded rubber parts meet UL, FDA, ASTM, and U.S. military specifications. MIL-SPEC materials include:
- ZZ-R-765
- MIL-R-6855
- MIL-R-3065
With our custom rubber molding services, we can also use injection, compression, or transfer molding equipment to create custom rubber products from commercial-grade elastomers. Our expertise includes rubber-to-metal bonding, too.
Extruded Rubber Profiles
In addition to custom molded rubber parts, The Rubber Group offers a wide variety of extruded rubber profiles for seals, gaskets, and insulation. These rubber extrusions have a specific cross-sectional shape and are either solid or hollow. Types include:
- circles (cords)
- squares
- rectangles
- D-shapes
- P-shapes
- U-channels
- half-rounds
Extruded rubber profiles come in different lengths and are ready for conversion and fabrication. At the Rubber Group, we provide value-added manufacturing such as die cutting.
Rubber Cords and Rubber Tubing
Rubber cords are custom rubber products with a circular cross-section. There are two basic types:
- solid round cords
- hollow round cords
Rubber cord stock is used for O-rings. Solid round cords are specified by outer diameter (OD). Hollow round cords are specified by both OD and inner diameter (ID).
Rubber tube stock is used for transporting fluids and gases in processing, medical, and specialty applications. Nominal tube sizes are based on OD. Wall thickness and tube ID can be used in calculations of fluid flow.
The Rubber Group maintains a large inventory of these standard rubber products, but can also extrude, dip and fabricate rubber cords or tubing as part of our value-added manufacturing services.
