Custom Rubber Extrusion

Here at The Rubber Company, we manufacture custom rubber extrusions from a wide variety of compounds, grades and specifications. We can work directly with you throughout the design and manufacturing process to ensure that you always get an extrusion that is tailored to your unique application.

With over 100 years experience in the rubber industry, we regularly work with customers from all around the world. This experience enables us to create the most suitable and the best quality extrusion.

Manufacturing Capabilities

We utilise a unique combination of manufacturing practices and technology when creating our custom rubber extrusions. This gives you almost limitless freedom when it comes to the look, feel, mechanical properties as well as resistance of your profile.

We will always offer the highest quality solutions possible. However, we are also able to work within your specific budget and schedule for the project. Some of our key manufacturing capabilities include:

Fabrication and Joining

For secure joins, we use a range of rubber-to-rubber welding solutions. This enables us to join multiple extrusions together, either to create a watertight seal, or to fit around a specific bend radius. Unlike adhesive joining, a rubber weld fuses the two sections together in order to reduce weak points in the join. Rubber welding is often much more cost and time-efficient than creating a profile mould.

Manufacturing to Material Standards

Many applications will not require any specific material grades so a standard-use compound will suffice. However, for special-use applications and working environments, The Rubber Company has you covered. We can manufacture our custom rubber extrusions from a range of highly-specialised material standards and grades. This could be anything from Flame Retardant (EN45545-2), to FDA approved or Anti-Static grades, to name but a few. Not only does this ensure that your extrusion is made to last, but it also ensures that the extrusion will conform to health and safety regulations.

Material Compound Flexibility

Aside from solid rubber, we can also manufacture rubber extrusions from sponge rubber, as well as composite materials. Depending on your application, a solid rubber extrusion may be too hard and not flexible enough. We offer a wide selection of sponge rubber profiles, as well as bespoke sponge manufacturing. We can also provide composite extrusions which are typically manufactured from two or more different materials. We can work directly with material compounders to find a material that perfectly suits your application.

RAL Colour Matching

Although rubber is typically black in colour, we have the ability to offer RAL colour matching using certain compounds. This enables our custom rubber extrusions to perfectly fit your application or branding. It can also be useful for adding higher visibility or hazard warning to objects. Using certain compounds, such as TPE, we can also produce non-marking rubber. This is typically popular for customer facing applications, such as yachts and commercial applications.
