Extruded Rubber Profiles: Extruded Products, Shapes & Applications

Share  | 

 Usage of rubber for industry-based applications and uses, in a myriad forms can not be undermined by any means. Rubber is extensively used, and so are the extruded rubber profiles. Properties like elasticity, flexibility, weatherability and corrosion resistance make it a preferred choice for certain applications like making seals and shock absorbent unit and parts. The rubber extruded profiles, apart from the basic characteristics like elasticity and lightweight, are also neat and uniform extruded products, which makes it an obvious choice for a lot of industry as well as consumer applications. At a quick glance, the industries that make use of extruded rubber profiles are, the automotive industry, lighting, home appliance industry, medical industry, construction and building industry and the locomotive industry.

Different applications require extruded rubber profiles in different forms. The different product profiles that are produced by the rubber extrusion processare available in a wide range as per the requirement.
 
Some of the common extruded rubber products are:
  • Chords or Wires
  • Tubes
  • Gaskets
  • Hoses
  • Bushes
  • Bumpers
  • Stripes
  • Rods
  • Bars
  • Plates or dics

These are just a few of the rubber profiles. Each of there further has a lot of types and varieties that are suitable for different kinds of applications. This would be enough to give a fair idea about the how important are rubber profiles for different industries. Besides the multi-varied rubber profiles, there are profiles that are shape specific products for some typical usages.
 
The common extruded rubber profile shapes are:
  • Anglular
  • Rectangle
  • Square
  • Hexagon
  • Circle
  • Semi circle
  • H strip
  • L channel
  • U channel
  • D shape
  • T cross section
   
All these shapes are extruded by the extrusion process of rubber. A rubber extruder is comprised of a small heated drum and an extrusion die. There are many types of rubber extrusion processes that deliver different kinds of extruded rubber profiles from among those mentioned above.
