High-quality rubber extrusions can have a major impact in many industries, including the architectural industry. At Elbex, we produce extruded rubber glazing systems that will fill essential architectural functions and help ensure lasting structural integrity. Here’s what you should know.
Key Rubber Extrusion Applications in Architecture
EPDM, short for ethylene propylene diene monomer, is a highly versatile synthetic rubber that is suitable for use in a variety of applications. There are two basic types of EP rubber available in today's market—EP and EPDM. EP is a copolymer of ethylene and propylene, while EPDM is a terpolymer combining ethylene, propylene and a diene monomer. EP uses a peroxide cure system. EPDM uses a sulfur cure system.
Advantages & Applications
Expansion joints are used in a wide range of projects — most frequently in construction projects where an outdoor structure will experience fluctuations in temperature. Bridges, exterior glass, and more can all benefit from an expansion joint’s unique capabilities.
While we pride ourselves on providing great customer service, this is far from the only thing that helps us stand out from the competition. Our unique background and expertise—both as a company and as individuals—makes us the right team to tackle even the toughest rubber extrusion problems.
Hollow tubes are used in a wide range of applications, and in many different industries. At ELBEX, our tried and true extruding capabilities allow us to manufacture custom tubing to fulfill many different capacities. No matter what you need, we can make it happen.
Rubber gaskets and seals play a vital role in the automotive industry, so it should be no surprise that we do a lot of work in this area. Here is a closer look at how our bumpers, bulb seals, and other custom products make a difference in the automotive world.
At ELBEX, we offer a wide variety of standard and custom rubber and silicone extrusions. Our diverse product selection is based on one key goal: ensuring that we will be able to meet any of your application needs.
While we offer several standard extrusion profiles, they represent only a fraction of what we are capable of. Our team is able to custom-engineer a wide range of rubber and silicone extruded products for several different industries, including appliance, automotive, and construction.
Manufacturing rubber extrusions is a process which has been around for more than a century. Over that timeframe, many advancements have been made in the extrusions industry.
Rubber is a naturally occurring elastomer. But today, synthesized rubber compounds outproduce natural gum rubber products.
Today, a rubber extrusion manufacturer — after completing the design phase and having selected the elastomeric material — will create a die to make the desired shape and size of an extrusion.
ELBEX is a leading manufacturer and ISO certified leader in silicone and rubber extrusions. Our capabilities include a wide range of profile designs in both dense and sponge materials.
Rubber is just one of several materials we use in order to manufacture extrusions and other products for customers. Natural rubber has many built-in advantages over other materials and compounds.
One of the many types of profiles we manufacture at ELBEX is the U-Channel extrusion, which is named after the U-shape they generally take on.
