EPDM and silicone are two popular rubber materials. We use them in our houses, cars, and even factories. They have many uses, but sealing doors and windows is the most common. Besides, EPDM and silicone gaskets are widely used in machinery for better performance. Whether it’s keeping rain out of a car or sealing medical…
Silicone rubber extrusion is one of the most used rubber product-making processes. This method has been widely used in factories since the 18th century. Silicone rubber extrusion generally shapes silicone and gives it a continuous length. The machine used in this process is called an extruder machine. It has a central chamber, a hopper,…
Marine conditions are extremely severe. Boats, ships, and other vessels are constantly exposed to seawater and sunshine. Marine rubber is one of the most important materials utilized on these vessels. If the rubber is incompatible with the aquatic environment, it may disintegrate quickly. Thus, choosing the right maritime rubber is indispensable. Rubber on…
Rubber extrusion is the most used technique in rubber manufacturing. Although rubber molding is also used in many situations, the rubber extrusion process is the most popular. The rubber extrusion process is widely used in many industries, from the car industry to construction. Why is rubber extrusion better than molding? There are several reasons,…
Indeed, rubber doesn’t last forever. Over time, it degrades and wears out. In terrible conditions, it may crack or snap. This aging sometimes looks like rot, so people named it Rubber Dry Rot. Have you ever replaced an old rubber seal strip on a door or window? The windows or doors may not have…
A water stop is a crucial construction element used in every building made of concrete. Some of us may need to become more familiar with its working principle. What does it do? As the name suggests, its purpose is to stop water. So, people use this material to prevent water from entering a space. Yes,…
Cars, machines, and buildings often experience various threats. Some of the critical external threats are mechanical impact and vibrations. A rubber pinch weld can help you prevent them. Rubber pinch weld seals can be used in various applications. These include protecting edges, reducing shocks, sealing against water, and more. In this article, we will…
Seal strips have many uses. People need to use it mainly for sealing and vibration-dampening applications. EPDM, neoprene, and SBR strips are common names here. Compared to these rubber strips, neoprene strips come ahead because of some benefits. This article mainly talks about those benefits. Ultimately, you will realize why you should choose neoprene rubber…
Metal edge protectors are usually one type of edge trim. You can also call it seal strips, edge guards, or edge seals. However, these seals are mainly designed to protect metal edges. They primarily prevent damage and enhance safety. These metal edge guards come in various shapes and sizes, each ideally suited to different…
EPDM stands for Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer. It is a versatile material for making many rubber products, including EPDM rubber extrusion profiles. You can see a wide range of EPDM rubber extrusion shapes. For example, sheet, O-ring, cord, solid square, tubes, e, P, T, and other extrusion profiles are noteworthy. EPDM is beneficial in many…
