Benefits of Extruded Rubber Products

There are multiple benefits of extruded rubber in various industries, including:

• Durability: Extruded rubber is highly durable and can withstand different pressures and temperatures, making it ideal for many industrial applications.
• Versatility: Extruded rubber can accommodate many shapes, sizes, and materials to suit the needs of any project.
• Ease of installation: The rubber or thermal plastic can be cut and fitted easily. It is simple to install in any project.
• Cost-effectiveness: Extruded rubber is a cost-effective solution that allows companies to reduce costs associated with repairing leaks.

Choosing the Right Extruded Product

When choosing the extruded rubber product best suited for your application, consider these factors:

Common Manufacturing Materials for Extruded Rubber

Different materials provide varying levels of protection and performance. Each meets different requirements and conditions, making them efficient for several applications. Take a look at some of our commonly used materials and their best uses:

• EPDM  rubber or foam exhibits good weathering, ozone, aging, UV light, and chemical resistance. It is best used in water treatment applications.
• Natural rubber or foam is a versatile material that is durable and cost-effective. Natural rubber is commonly used in extruded rubber gaskets because it offers excellent resistance to wear and tear, ozone, weathering, water, and chemicals.
• Neoprene rubber or foam is resistant to oils, grease, and solvents. It can also withstand cold temperatures and weathering.
• Silicon rubber or foam is best in extreme temperatures and chemical resistance conditions.
• Viton rubber or foam provides excellent chemical resistance to acids, oil, fuel, and solvents. It also offers good abrasion resistance and higher heat tolerance than other materials.
• Thermal Plastic is an excellent choice for applications that require good chemical resistance, weathering, and aging.
• And many more

Other Factors to Consider When Choosing an Extruded Rubber

Your extruded rubber product must be correctly sized for the intended application. It may not provide a secure seal and could leak if it is too small. The shape should also be considered; some may provide better sealing capabilities than others.

Extruded rubber comes in multiple different pressure ratings. Make sure to choose one that can withstand the operating pressures of your application. The higher the rating, the more durable and reliable the item will be in various conditions.

It is crucial to consider the temperature range before selecting a product. Depending on the material, some items may perform better at certain temperatures than others. For example, silicon is best in extreme temperatures and chemical resistance conditions.

Installation and Maintenance

Proper installation techniques for extruded gaskets are crucial for achieving a secure and reliable seal. Using the correct tools is vital, as improper installation could cause leaks. Using the appropriate mounting hardware as directed by your manufacturer is also critical.

After installation, inspect it regularly to ensure proper function and security. Regular maintenance may include cleaning, lubricating, and replacing worn-out parts.

Extruded vs. Molded Seals

Automated Gasket can provide extruded and molded products for your application, with the ability to customize to your specific requirements. These two types of processes have their differences.

Extruded Products

Extruded products are customizable shapes and sizes to fit the application. They are durable and resistant to extreme temperatures, pressure, and chemical exposure. Also, they are easier to install and maintain.

Molded Products

A pre-formed shape is pressed into the rubber to make a molded item. Applications with complex forms benefit most from the molded process. They have superior sealing properties and are resistant to extreme temperatures, pressure, and chemical exposure.
