Extrusion Department

We have been extruding rubber profiles in-house since 1985 and now have over 1500 different dies. We also have an in-house machining facility, so that if we cannot supply your exact requirements, we can machine a die to your specifications at low cost and with a fast turnaround.

Extrusions can be produced in straight lengths or coiled, depending on shape and size. We also have the ability to cure the extrusion around a former for a particular application e.g. circular seals.

We charge a low development cost for tooling as this allows us to enter new sections into our catalogue.  Current pricing for tooling (December 2010) exclusive of VAT and subject to change, are as follows:

3" die £60.00, 6"die £110.00, 9" die £160.00.  If the die is intricate then the cost may be increased to reflect this.

Please contact our Extrusions department directly for further information.

Profile types include (but are not limited to) the following:

• 'D' section - hollow and solid
• Double 'D' section - hollow and solid
• 'U' channels
• 'P' sections - hollow and solid
• Edging strips
• Seal sections
• Rubbing strips
• Speed Restriction Strips (Sleeping Policemen)

Extrusions are suitable for many applications including marine, motor vehicles, fork lift trucks, factory walls, loading bays, container door seals, channel edging strips and cab tyre.

Illustrations of the more common sections can be found in Example Profiles.

Extrusions can be produced in Nitrile, EPDM and Neoprene rubber. For further explanation of rubber types and their applications please see our Rubber Types page.

For cash sales there is a minimum order charge of £4.00 plus VAT for in-house extrusions.

Brochures are avaliable to download showing some of the various profiles that we can manufacture. Many profiles are available from stock or can be made at short notice.

All in-house extrusions and mouldings are covered under our ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System.
