What are Extruded Rubber Seals? 
Extruded rubber seals are long, continuous pieces of rubber that are formed into a specific profile. The seal is then cut to the desired length and used in combination with other products for various purposes and applications. These seals offer superior performance compared to traditional adhesives and can be made with different elastomers or materials, including neoprene, silicone, nitrile, and EPDM.

Benefits of Extruded Rubber Seals 
Extruded rubber seals offer several advantages over traditional adhesives. They are often more durable and reliable, making them ideal for applications where a high degree of sealing quality is required. Additionally, extruded rubber seals are resistant to many different temperatures, chemicals, and environmental factors, making them ideal for outdoor or industrial use. Furthermore, they can be tailored to fit specific shapes and sizes, providing better insulation properties than adhesive-based products.

Applications of Extruded Rubber Seals 
Extruded rubber seals are versatile and ideal for a range of different applications. They are often found in door seals, window seals, and automotive body parts as well as electrical enclosures, industrial machinery components, and many other commercial products. Additionally, extruded rubber seals are often used to protect building materials from water damage or moisture contamination.

Factors to Look for When Shopping for an Extruded Rubber Seal 
When shopping for extruded rubber seals, there are a few factors to keep in mind. First and foremost, you’ll want to look at the size and shape of the seal. You should consider measurements such as length and width, as well as any special requirements such as specific grooves or lips. Additionally, you’ll need to determine the type of rubber that best suits your needs. Some common types include EPDM, neoprene, silicone, and Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) seals. Make sure you choose one that will be able to handle any environmental conditions it may encounter during installation or use.

Common Methods Used in the Manufacturing of Extruded Rubber Seals
Rubber extrusion is a manufacturing process used to create custom-made rubber shapes. During the process, a heated rubber compound (usually in the form of a tube or reinforced sheet) is forced through a die which creates the desired shape. Common methods used for rubber extrusion include open-mill mixing and cold-feed extruders. Each method offers different levels of productivity and resilience depending on what type of product is needed. By using these methods, manufacturers are able to create precision-engineered seals featuring intricate details that meet customer needs and preferences.

Zhongxiang Rubber can provide products suitable for various application scenarios, with a wide range of products and a large selection of materials, such as EPDM rubber, nitrile rubber, silicone rubber, butyl rubber, fluoro rubber, neoprene, natural rubber, silicone, thermoplastic elastomers, engineering plastics, etc. In order to meet the stringent needs of our customers, our team of rubber experts strives to provide cost-competitive solutions in a short time from design to production.
