Who is rubber & silicone?

We are a specialist in the development and manufacture of reliable rubber compounds for high-quality elastomer products, functional parts, components, and systems. Our rubber and silicone compounds are used worldwide in various areas of application. For example, we produce rubber compounds for hoses, rubber-metal products and seals.

What is rubber compounding?

The purpose of this chapter is to elaborate the science of rubber compounding. Compounding is the materials science of modifying a rubber or elastomer, or a blend of polymers and other materials to optimize properties to meet a given service application or set of performance parameters.

Who is the Rubber Company?

The Rubber Company has over 100 years of experience in meeting customers’ rubber product needs in a vast range of industries. We manufacture, convert and distribute: extrusions, mouldings, sheeting, gaskets, seals and rubber matting in natural and synthetic rubbers (elastomers).

What are rubber compounds made of?

Rubber compounds are made of polymers, fillers, oils, and numerous chemicals used for crosslinking or 'vulcanization' of the compounds.

Where do you manufacture rubber products?

By using state-of-the-art rubber compounding methods and strict quality controls, we ensure a consistently high quality for our customers in accordance with the required specification. We currently manufacture products on 27 rubber mixing lines in Germany, Hungary, China, Mexico and the USA. Please use the form to contact us.

How is compound rubber made?

Cured material is rolled into fine sheets before being cut and slit in preparation for the molding presses. Factory workers run compounded rubber in sheet form through knife machine which cuts the rubber into “strips”. The strips are cut to size particular to the tools and parts being produced on the current work order to eliminate waste.
