Expansion joints are some of the most commonly used rubber extrusions, particularly in the construction and manufacturing industries. At Elbex, our team can produce both standard and custom expansion joints to ensure quality outcomes for your project. Here is a closer look at expansion joints and how they can be used.
What Are Expansion Joints?
At Elbex, our rubber extrusions are created by forcing uncured rubber compounds through a die to achieve the desired shape, and then curing it in a high-temperature salt bath. This process is ideally suited for high-volume runs, allowing us to produce more material in a shorter time period. Of course, there is more to our rubber extrusions than this. Here is a closer look at what we can do for you.
Key Capabilities
It seems like no matter what else is going on in the world, there is always the need for construction. From residential neighborhoods to big box stores, there are countless projects underway in practically every community across the nation. And each of these projects can benefit from the use of rubber extrusions.
What Do Rubber Extrusions Do?
Elbex provides high-quality, custom rubber extrusions for a wide range of industries — including the architectural industry. Rubber extrusions play an ever-expanding role in buildings and other structures, providing additional support, reducing vibrations, and protecting against environmental hazards. Here’s a closer look at rubber extrusions in architecture.
Common Applications
One aspect that sets Elbex apart from other rubber extrusion manufacturers is our ability to offer onsite custom tooling. No two applications are exactly alike, and quite often, this means that standard extrusions simply aren’t going to be enough to get the job done. Here’s how our custom tooling process can help your business save time and money.
Greater Efficiency Means a Faster Turnaround
At Elbex, our team produces a wide range of custom and standard rubber extrusions to fill needs in many different industries. Among these are bulb seals, which help provide maximum sealing power in an application. Here’s what you should know.
What is a Bulb Seal?
At ELBEX, we have a true passion for excellence. However, we find that this is something that most customers don’t fully understand until after they work with us. We are truly dedicated to what we do, and our passion ensures both great products and amazing customer service.
At ELBEX, ensuring that our products work well in their intended application is a top priority. Because of this, each of our products undergoes extensive testing. Knowing the tolerances of our rubber extrusions gives us confidence in what we tell our clients. Best of all, you can learn the tolerances of our products for yourself!
At ELBEX, we understand that you have many choices for rubber extrusions — but we believe that who we are makes us stand out in a positive way. We were founded in 1974 by Edward L. Bittle, who drew from his decades of experience at B.F. Goodrich to start a company focused on rubber seals, as well as rubber and silicone extrusions. As we’ve grown, custom rubber extrusion has also become a key part of what we do. Building on Edward Bittle’s legacy is central in everything we do today.
At ELBEX, we offer a wide range of high-quality, customizable rubber extrusions using a variety of engineered silicone and rubber compounds. Since founding our business, our capabilities have been driven by the needs of our customers. This mentality has given us the ability to handle difficult geometric and material requirements to create the right product for your application.
