Product Description
Here at The Rubber Company we can manufacture custom silicone extrusions in an endless combination of designs, sizes and colours. We work directly with companies all around the world in order to provide the quickest and highest quality service. We also tailor each profile and production run to suit your exact requirements. With over 100 years of experience we can always provide the best material and manufacturing advice. This ensures that your extrusion is always suitable for use. Silicone is an incredibly stable material, providing excellent high temperature resistance as well as durable physical properties. Another benefit of manufacturing using silicone is that the compound can be easily dyed during the manufacturing process.
We manufacture using a high-quality silicone rubber compound due to the unique combination of properties the material provides. Silicone provides great flexibility as well as high levels of strength and tear resistance. It is also able to maintain these physical properties across a wide operating temperature range. Silicone features high levels of resistance against a variety of common chemical solutions. This makes it ideal for use in hazardous and sensitive environments.
We can also manufacture custom silicone extrusions using a variety of material grades to suit a specific application. Some of these material grades include:
Food Contact Safe
Our FDA compliant silicone grades are safe for use in food contact applications. We regularly manufacture using this grade for medical, pharmaceutical and food processing industries. This particular grade is low in volatiles, peroxide free and does not produce any dangerous by-products that could have an adverse effect on health.
High & Low Temperature
Our flame retardant silicone rubber grade provides excellent safety for use in rail and mass transit applications. Aside from offering flame resistance this grade also produces low levels of smoke and toxicity. This grade confirms to a variety of global safety regulations for the highest levels of protection.
Flame Retardant
As the name suggests, high temperature silicone provides superior high temperature resistance compared to standard grades. This grade features a maximum operating temperature of up to +300°C. This grade also complies with FDA guidelines for use in food preparation and autoclave applications.
Metal Detectable
Metal detectable silicone contains additives that are easily visible by metal detector scanning equipment. This ensures that any potential rubber contamination in the product can be easily identified and removed. This particular grade also provides good mechanical properties, excellent UV resistance as well as excellent resistance to mildew and fungi.
