Rubber Molding Applications
Due to their precision and durability, custom rubber molded products find use in applications across a wide range of industries. Some common components by industry include:
- Aerospace: seal and gaskets
- Automotive: seals, gaskets, and electrical enclosure weather seals
- Construction: architectural and window seals, fiberoptic sheathes, and outdoor electrical enclosures
- Consumer and commercial goods: scratchproof feet for appliances
- Food processing: oven, cart, kitchen, and dairy equipment seals
- General industrial: backflow preventers, bellows, elastomeric check valves, electrical connectors seals, ordinance seals, and water purification and filtration seals
- Medical: grommets, seals, surgical devices, fluid path components and grips.
Rubber Molding Benefits
- Elimination of most labor saves time and cost and adds machine driven consistency.
- Machine driven processing of the raw material allows for faster production times.
- Injection molding can be more cost-effective.
- Compression and Transfer molding have advantages.
