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.


Materials for Extruded Rubber Profiles
There are many types of rubber that are suitable for extrusion process some of them are listed here:
Comparing the properties of Rubber extrusion material
The following table takes a hard look at physical and chemical properties of rubber material used in the extrusion process.

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.


Shapes of Rubber Extruded Products
Coming to the shapes of rubber extruded profiles a variety of shapes are possible with distinctive features. Some of the popular shapes are described here:

Angle Extrusion
Applications include Wiper, Seal, Filler Strip, or even as Edging. Profiles can be in cut pieces, coil form, long straight lengths, form-cured lengths etc.
Bumper Strip
Angle Extrusion Applications include Wiper, Seal, Filler Strip, or even as Edging. Profiles can be in cut pieces, coil form, long straight lengths, form-cured lengths etc. Bumper Strip Profiles can be available in the form of coil, long straight lengths, form-cured lengths, to cut pieces also.
H-Strip
Generally used as a Filler Strip, Seal, or even as a Glazing Seal. Profiles are easily available in the form of coil, long straight lengths, cut pieces to even form-cured lengths.
D Strips
Special Extruded Seals/Tubing
Solid Strip/Cord
U channels
Refrigerator Door seals
Special extrusion
