Drawings. Samples. 3D Models.
Or Leave the Design to Us.
Send a drawing, a sample or a 3D CAD file (STEP, IGES, Parasolid, DXF or PDF). Or simply tell us what you need and leave the design to us. We study the application (temperature, media, ingress rating, closure force) and select the compound best suited to it.
Choosing the right compound is the single biggest factor in a long-lasting, failure-proof product. It is what lets a part outlast its maintenance schedule: Fit & Forget.
Compound Mixing
The selected compound is mixed in a dispersion kneader under high pressure and controlled temperature, dosed to hit the target hardness, tensile strength and elongation, then finished on a two-roll mill into a homogeneous sheet.
Compound Testing
No batch reaches production untested. A rheometer plots the cure curve of every mix; hardness, tensile strength, elongation, density and dispersion are verified against the specification before release.
The Fork
The component decides the die. Discrete geometries call for a moulding die, bolted into a hydraulic press. Components that can be extruded and finished downstream get an extrusion die, fitted to the extruder head.
Compression Moulding
The moulding die from the toolroom is bolted into a hydraulic press. Compound blanks cure inside it under heat and pressure. The part is ejected, then flash trimmed.
Extrusion & Joining
The extrusion die from the toolroom is fitted to the extruder head. The screw conveys compound through it. The shaped profile cures in a 70 ft hot-air vulcanizing oven. Cut lengths are joined end-to-end into jointless, endless gaskets.

End-to-End Manufacturing
Compounding, tooling, moulding, extrusion and testing all happen in-house at our own plants on state-of-the-art machinery. Because design and tooling stay in-house, we cut weeks from typical industry lead times. We control every variable, so we hit our delivery dates and ship the same quality every time.
Compounding & Mixing
Dispersion kneader plus chilled-roll mixing mills. Every formulation mixed in-house.
In-House Test Laboratory
Moving Die Rheometer, tensile, hardness and abrasion testers, aging ovens.
2 Automated Microwave CV Lines
Dedicated continuous vulcanization lines for EPDM and Silicone.
20+ Hydraulic Moulding Presses
From 10"×10" up to 43"×31" platens, including automatic presses.
