Rubber & Plastic Compounded Parts
We are a custom manufacturer who can also create custom rubber compound parts and provide plastic compounding services. Sometimes a standard material compound just will not fit your exacting needs for an application. We are proud to have one of the top technical consultants in the industry working with us.
Custom rubber compounding is the process of formulating rubber materials with specific properties to meet unique application requirements. It involves blending base polymers with various additives, fillers, curatives, and processing aids to achieve desired characteristics such as flexibility, durability, resistance to heat, chemicals, or weathering.
Our chemist, Martin Perez, stays on the cutting edge of technology to bring new and innovative solutions. By creating different custom rubber compounds, we can meet almost any need. From mil-spec to BMS, to proprietary uses, trust our decades of experience to help bring your American-made product to completion.
Key Components of Rubber Compounding:
- Base Polymers: Natural rubber (NR), synthetic rubbers (EPDM, SBR, NBR, FKM, etc.).
- Fillers: Carbon black, silica, clay, calcium carbonate—enhance strength, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
- Plasticizers: Improve flexibility and processability (e.g., oils, esters).
- Curing Agents: Sulfur, peroxides, or metal oxides—control vulcanization.
- Accelerators & Activators: Boost curing speed and efficiency.
- Antioxidants & Antiozonants: Protect against degradation from heat, oxygen, and ozone.
- Processing Aids: Improve mixing, extrusion, and molding.
Industries Using Custom Rubber Compounds:
- Automotive: Seals, gaskets, tires, hoses.
- Aerospace: Vibration dampeners, fuel system components.
- Medical: Biocompatible rubber for tubing, seals.
- Industrial: Belts, O-rings, rollers.
- Electronics: Insulation, EMI shielding.
Factors to Consider in Rubber Compounding:
- Environmental exposure: UV, ozone, chemicals, temperature.
- Mechanical properties: Tensile strength, elongation, hardness.
- Regulatory compliance: FDA, REACH, RoHS, ASTM standards.
We welcome new challenges and consistently create new products to meet our customers application.
