Materials We Use for Custom Rubber Extrusion
At Custom Rubber Extrusion, we're experts in manufacturing top-notch rubber profiles, seals, and gaskets using high-quality materials that ensure long-lasting performance. The key to any successful extrusion project is choosing the correct rubber material, since every type has its own specific mechanical, thermal, and chemical characteristics.
We use a variety of high-quality rubber compounds, such as EPDM, Silicone, Neoprene, Nitrile (NBR), and Natural Rubber, to make sure we can deliver the right solution for your needs. Our wide range of materials perfectly suits the specific application and the needs of the industry. Let's take a closer look at each material to see its specific properties, benefits, and ideal uses.
Types of Materials
EPDM Rubber
EPDM rubber, which stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, is a remarkably versatile substance frequently used in rubber extrusion processes. Its key advantages include strong defense against heat, ozone, and UV rays, making it a great option for outdoor applications. EPDM stays flexible in an extreme temperature range from -50°C all the way up to +130°C. It can often be found in car seals, roofing materials, and industrial gaskets.
Silicone Rubber
Silicone rubber is widely appreciated for its flexibility, resistance to chemicals, and impressive ability to handle heat. This material can endure extreme temperatures, from as low as -60°C to as high as 230°C, which is why it's perfect for automotive, food & beverage processing, and medical industries. Extruded silicone products are known for their longevity as they keep their elasticity over the years, and they are also great at resisting damage from UV light, ozone, and general wear and tear.
Neoprene Rubber
Neoprene, also known as chloroprene rubber, is a tough synthetic material often used in extrusion processes. It's known for withstanding oil, various chemicals, high temperatures, and rough weather conditions. Extruded neoprene parts are commonly used for industrial seals, gaskets, hoses, and protective coverings. Its great mechanical qualities make it a dependable choice for applications that need a good balance of chemical resistance and strength.
Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
Nitrile rubber (NBR) is highly valued for its oil and fuel resistance, making it ideal for automotive, hydraulic, and industrial applications. These NBR extrusion parts perform well under high mechanical stress and maintain flexibility in moderate to extreme temperature ranges. This material is commonly used for O-rings, seals, gaskets, and other oil-handling applications.
Natural Rubber
Natural rubber (NR) is a highly versatile and durable material derived from latex. Its inherent strength, abrasion resistance, and elasticity make it well-suited for a variety of applications. Consequently, items made from natural rubber are frequently used in industrial settings, automotive components, and mechanical systems where shock absorption, resilience, and longevity are important. This material performs well where the atmosphere is free from oil contact, and the temperature is not too high.
Comparison Overview for Choosing the Right Material
| Material | Temperature Resistance (°C) | Oil Resistance | Weather Resistance | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| EPDM | -50 to +130 | Poor | Excellent | Outdoor seal, automotive weatherstrips |
| Silicone | -60 to +230 | Fair | Excellent | Food, medical, aerospace |
| Neoprene | -40 to +120 | Moderate | Good | HVAC, marine, industrial seals |
| Nitrile | -30 to +120 | Excellent | Fair | Oil, seals, automotive hoses |
| Natural Rubber | -40 to +80 | Poor | Fair | Shock absorption, vibration pads |
