MATERIALS & APPLICATIONS
Silicone, Fluorosilicone, and Viton™, (Fluorocarbon) are just some of the compounds we use. The Custom Rubber Molding of our compounds (formulations) are custom made for your application. Although we have many "standard" materials, every part has a specific formulation. We have over 600 existing formulas to choose from. Should one of these not meet your needs, we will gladly formulate a new compound for your application without a special "set-up charge."
