Rubber Extruded Profiles

Important Considerations in Rubber Extrusions
When thinking of rubber extrusion, consideration is to be given regarding the physical and mechanical properties of the material. Question is to be asked is regarding its appropriateness for the environment where it will be used. Typical Properties like permeability, aging, tensile strength, hardness, flexibility and speed of recovery from deflection tends to vary with different materials and this needs to be carefully weighed against the respective benefits or weaknesses. 

 

Applications of Extruded Rubber Products
Extruded rubber products are used in numerous industries. Some of the major industries are shown here.

 

Building Industry

Profiles in sponge and solid forms are a favourite with the building industries. Other applications include Rubber seals for doors and windows.

 

Construction Industry

Applications include expansion joints for roads, bridges and runways.

 

Automotive Industry

A wide range of rubber extruded profiles are used in automotive applications. Typical shapes like continuous length or jointed frames for use in weather strips and underhood applications. Some of the most popular uses include :-

Railways
Profiles for doors, windows and gates.

Medical Industry
Rubber thread as in catheters.

Specialised Application
A very special application of extruded products is in providing intumescent solutions for positive pressure code requirements.

Materials for Extruded Rubber Profiles
There are many types of rubber that are suitable for extrusion process some of them are listed here:

 

Buyers Zone As a smart buyer dealing in rubber extruded profiles you need to ask the following important questions before venturing to procure extruded profiles. Whether the properties both physical and mechanical of the desired material are conducive to the environment, where it will be put to use. Properties like aging, tensile strength, hardness, flexibility, permeability and speed of recovery from the deflection shows a tendency to vary in different materials, so there is a need, that they be weighed against the respective benefits/weaknesses that will result from using such materials.
