Extruded Rubber Sheeting Blocks
The primary purpose of a setting block is to position and seat separate materials. They assist in dampening vibration and to minimize uneven surfaces. They are very commonly used in glazing applications to set glass within an aluminum channel. They range from very simple rectangular shapes to more complicated profiles that are designed to track into a channel.
Setting Block Design
We take pride in our ability to deliver a custom manufactured product to meet your specification requirements. Based on our extensive capabilities, nearly any design can be met. Below are strictly a few examples of profile types that ELBEX has the capability to produce. For more information please reference our capabilities page.

Applications in the Manufacturing Industry
Our rubber extrusions play a vital role in the performance of a wide range of industrial and manufacturing systems. Our products can be manufactured to withstand extreme environments that manufacturing and industrial environments are subject to, including direct sunlight and dramatic changes in temperature that can cause expansion and contraction. Whether you need a rubber extrusion for a specific product you’re manufacturing, or for the actual factory building itself, our rubber extrusions fit the bill.
- Pipe ramps
- Glazing system profiles
- Silicone sheeting
- Expansion joints

Applications in the Water Control Industry
The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) has created standards for drinking water and the systems that treat it. However, even with those standards in place, many municipal facilities don’t use NSF-61-approved materials when it comes to gaskets and other rubber extrusions. We’ve heard from many treatment facility operators that gaskets are often the last thing thought about, but the thing that can cause the most issues. We’ll help you select the right extrusion and material to ensure a lasting solution.
Here are a few examples of applications within the industry:
- Rubber gate seals for industrial water filtration systems
- Gaskets for drinking water treatment systems
- Diffuser membranes
