When equipment fails in the field, the culprit is often something surprisingly small — a degraded seal, a mismatched gasket, or a rubber component that was never designed for the actual operating environment. Custom rubber seals are the unsung workhorses of modern manufacturing, keeping hydraulic systems pressurized, food processing lines contamination-free, and aerospace components performing […]
Rubber seals help prevent leaks and protect against dust, water, and other environmental hazards. These components play a vital part in sealing gaps and ensuring secure sealing in machines, vehicles, and devices. People rely on effective rubber seals in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. The complete guide to rubber seals shows why understanding […]
Rubber extrusion shapes rubber into continuous profiles by forcing it through a specialized die. This process involves several important steps, including preparing the material, heating, shaping, curing, and inspecting the final product. Each stage transforms raw materials into a finished shape with specific properties. Preparing the Rubber Compound Selecting Materials The first step in the […]
Rubber extrusions are used in almost every major industry. From automotive door seals to industrial equipment protection, these rubber profiles help improve sealing, insulation, vibration control, and product durability. Their flexibility and material versatility make them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Manufacturers use rubber extrusions because they can be produced in continuous lengths, […]
Selecting the right rubber seal materials improves performance and extends service life. NITRILE offers excellent oil resistance. EPDM stands out in weather and ozone protection. SILICONE remains flexible in extreme temperatures. VITON resists harsh chemicals. NEOPRENE provides durability in outdoor conditions. FFKM handles the most demanding environments. POLYURETHANE excels in abrasion resistance. Knowing the properties […]
Rubber extrusions come in a wide range of shapes and designs. Common profiles include solid rubber, bulb and hollow forms, D-section, U-channel, edge trim, and tubing. Specialty options like coextrusions, custom rubber extrusions, and accordion seals are also available. Choosing the right rubber profile ensures proper sealing, protection, and durability in your application. Each rubber […]
Salt bath vulcanization (LCM) is the optimal choice for high-volume production of extruded rubber seals where dimensional precision, consistent cross-link density, surface quality, and long-term performance under demanding conditions are primary requirements. It outperforms hot air vulcanization for thin-wall and filigree profiles, delivers superior compression set values compared to processes with cure gradients, and supports […]
Rubber Extrusion Overview What is Rubber Extrusion Rubber extrusion is a process that shapes rubber into long pieces with a fixed cross-section. This method uses a machine to push soft rubber through a specially designed opening called a die. The die gives the rubber its final shape as it comes out. The process can create […]

Rubber Extrusion is a process, a part of a larger process. During rubber extrusion, a high-pressure machine forces natural or synthetic rubber through a given shaped die to bring out the desired shape, profile or cut. Applications of rubber extrusion Rubber extrusions can be wound or and vulcanized to make a myriad verity of shapes. […]
