Rubber Compound

We mould a full range of heat-curable elastomers, from natural rubbers through to perfluoroelastomers, and will advise you on the most suitable polymer for your application. If your requirement is for a specialist rubber compound or needs development work, we also have a range of small scale equipment available for lab batches.

Working closely with some of the UK’s most experienced compounders who understand rubber in-depth – from formulation to application – we can supply compounds to meet the most demanding of end-user specifications in industries ranging from oil & gas to food processing.

As well as offering a complete range of materials from 20 – 95 Shore A, we can match many specifications including BS, WRAS, EC1935, FDA, KTW and DTD.

We can also produce your compound to match either RAL or PANTONE colours and offer a choice of fillers to make your compound metal detectable for food processing or pharmaceutical applications.
