Rubber extrusions are utilised in a range of industries, offering practical solutions where fully moulded parts may not be viable. Whether it’s industrial machinery or construction projects, rubber extrusions provide adaptable shapes and sizes, helping businesses maintain efficiency and reliability while meeting specific application needs. At PTM, we can supply a comprehensive range of rubber extrusions, designed to deliver consistent performance whether used for sealing, protection, or vibration dampening.
The extrusion process involves shaping raw rubber material by forcing it through a die to achieve the required cross-sectional profile. This allows for precise, repeatable production of seals, gaskets, and custom profiles. Rubber extrusions can be supplied as full lengths for on-site cutting or joined into continuous runs for larger installations. Available in a variety of compounds, including natural rubber, neoprene, and silicone, these extrusions can meet industry-specific standards, including FDA and WRAS compliance.
A key advantage of rubber extrusions is their versatility. Solid profiles provide durability for applications exposed to wear and tear, while sponge or softer extrusions offer compressibility for doors, windows, and panels requiring a secure seal. By selecting the right material and profile, businesses can achieve effective weatherproofing, dust exclusion, and noise or vibration reduction.
Rubber extrusions also adapt to complex requirements where standard components fall short. Bespoke profiles, including lip, hollow, or shaped sections, can be produced quickly and accurately to meet unusual or demanding specifications. The flexibility of these products makes them suitable for sectors including automotive, marine, manufacturing, and construction. Additionally, PTM offers cords in various diameters, supplied in open lengths or formed into O-rings, providing an extra layer of adaptability for sealing and joint applications.
