Product Description
Here at The Rubber Company we can manufacture flame retardant extrusions to suit a number of applications and industries. We have an already extensive range of standard profiles and also offer bespoke manufacturing services in flame retardant compounds. The Rubber Company has a number of years’ experience in producing profiles that conform to rail & mass transit, sports equipment, construction as well as food & material application standards. We can manufacture our flame retardant rubber profiles from either high-quality EPDM or Silicone compounds. This ensures that you can always get the best material properties to suit your specific application.
Tested and fully certified to the following standards:
EN45545-2
UL94 V(0)
LUL S1085
SMP800-C
National Standards BS 6853
DIN5510
EN 13501-1
NF F 16-101
Aside from conforming to fire resistance properties, our compounds are also low smoke and low toxicity. The high-quality compounds we use also provide excellent ozone and U.V resistance as standard. This enables you to use our profiles in interior as well as exterior applications. Do not hesitate to contact us regarding our flame retardant extrusions, we are available to provide material and manufacturing advice.
Extrusion Compounds
EPDM
EPDM is an excellent general purpose extrusion compound. It is typically more cost effective while providing high levels of durability. EPDM provides strong mechanical properties as well as good abrasion resistance. Its impressive weathering resistance ensures that EPDM profiles are idea for use in exterior applications. EPDM is generally only available in black but other colours may be available as a special order, subject to minimum order quantities.
Silicone
Silicone extrusions are generally used in more specialist and sensitive applications due to the compound’s excellent stability. It is the perfect material for meeting health and safety standards while operating in demanding environments. Silicone has a wide operating temperature range as standard and also offers excellent weathering resistance. We can dye silicone compounds during the manufacturing process, which enables us to produce silicone extrusions in a variety of colours.
