Rubber Injection Moulding Services

At Clifton Rubber, we provide rubber injection moulding services that combine precision, efficiency, and over 50 years of UK-based manufacturing expertise. Injection moulding is one of the most advanced rubber processing techniques available, capable of producing complex shapes, thin-walled parts, and high-volume runs with exceptional repeatability.

Our in-house toolroom and ISO 9001-certified facility allow us to manage the complete process, from design and material selection to production and quality control. Whether you need a prototype, a small bespoke batch, or a continuous high-volume supply, Clifton Rubber delivers injection moulded parts that meet the strictest industry standards.

We work with a wide range of elastomers — including nitrile, EPDM, silicone, polyurethane, and natural rubber — to create parts that perform in demanding environments such as agriculture, transport, food processing, construction, recycling, and many other sectors.

How Does Rubber Injection Moulding Work Step by Step?

1. Material Preparation – Rubber compounds are mixed with curing agents and additives.
   
2. Heating – The compound is pre-heated until pliable.
   
3. Injection – The softened rubber is injected into a closed mould cavity at pressures up to 2000 psi.
   
4. Curing (Vulcanisation) – Heat (140–180°C) initiates cross-linking, giving the finished part strength, elasticity, and durability.
   
5. Ejection – The mould opens and the part is removed.
   
6. Finishing – Trimming and deflashing ensure a clean surface.
   
7. Inspection – Every batch is tested under ISO 9001 quality control.
   

Injection moulding allows for tolerances as tight as ±0.05–0.1mm, making it the process of choice for precision rubber components.

Advantages of Rubber Injection Moulding

• Precision: Tight tolerances and consistent quality.
  
• Complexity: Capable of producing intricate designs and fine details.
  
• Speed: Faster cycle times compared to compression or transfer moulding.
  
• Scalability: Cost-effective for high-volume production runs.
  
• Efficiency: Minimal waste thanks to accurate material injection.
