UK Rubber Extrusion Manufacturer
Our extensive knowledge of both the design and manufacture of rubber extrusions, means we can produce and supply standard or custom made rubber extrusion profiles for most applications.
We can offer our customers various sizes and quantities of rubber extrusions to suit specific needs and all of our extrusion profiles and materials are manufactured to British, European or International standards or to exact customer specifications.
Our History and Expertise
Since 1973 we have developed significant technical expertise in the manufacture of rubber extrusions in the UK. Our expert team have accumulated many years’ experience in creating rubber profiles and can advise on any issues or queries you may have.
To maintain a quality product and service we put quality at the heart of our processes. Our quality management system is therefore certified to ISO9001.


The Rubber Extrusion Process
The term rubber extrusion is defined as producing a product with a consistent cross-sectional shape by pushing uncured rubber material through a mould die. There are two main types of extruder used to push the rubber through the die, these are screw extruders and ram extruders and the choice of which to use will generally depend on the length and quantity of the extrusion profile required.
The vulcanisation process takes place once the profile has been extruded generally using microwaves, steam autoclaves, hot baths or hot air. The rubber profiles are then packaged and made ready to ship to our customer.
The Products Produced
Always striving to meet customer requirements, the most common rubber extrusion profiles we supply include:
- 'D' Sections
- 'E' Sections
- 'L' Sections
- 'P' Sections
- 'U' Channels
- Box Sections
- Trapeziums
- Lip Seals
- Rubber Tubes
- Rubber Cords
- Rubber Piping
- Rubber Door Seals


Extrusion Materials
Typically our rubber extrusions are manufactured from EPDM or silicon but other rubber materials can be specified, such as Nitrile or Neoprene. EPDM is available as either a dense or sponge.
We can also manufacture special extrusion profiles in the following material grades:
- High and Low Temperature
- WRAS Approved
- Flame Retardant
- Anti-Static
- FDA/Non-Toxic
We can produce coloured rubber profiles in the UK to suit and Shore hardness can be specified as required.
