3 Uses of Custom Rubber Molding

Customized orders for appliances, consumer products, or automotive can be created at Clark Rubber and Plastic. Using natural and synthetic rubbers, we produce industry-specific parts in high or low-production quantities and of high quality. Modern technology has improved rubber production and has added synthetic rubber fitting specific needs including weather and chemical resistance. Here are custom projects to review when making rubber molding products:

Different Types of Rubber Molding

Here at Clark Rubber and Plastic, we produce rubber molding in three ways at our factories: injection, transfer, and compression molding. With our dedicated team of professionals, we can work with your business and take custom orders. We service many industries including solar, automotive, appliance, and more. Here are three types of custom rubber molding applications from Clark Rubber and Plastic: 

Solar

Solar panels are exposed to harsh elements, including UV rays, storms, extreme temperatures, and more. We use a specific rubber type, ethylene propylene diene (EPDM), for our solar panel products. Our production processes include injection and compression molding, to fit the needs and design of each part in these solar farms. This increases the efficiency and durability of the panels.

Each part, like rubber cable entry seals, fills a specific role in the solar panel. They offer a protective barrier for the cable going into the panel. Parts like this need to be durable and resistant to weather. We use a compression and transfer molding process to create this part with our precise and quality process. 

Automotive

The automotive industry has various parts, such as hoses, seals, gaskets, engine mounts, and bumpers. These products fit specific measurements and operate in different environments. They serve specific functions, like transferring hot fluids. Products like hoses for the cooling system are durable rubber parts that will not degrade when running corrosive and hot coolant.

Clark Rubber and Plastic uses quality rubber and precise equipment to produce automotive parts in each application, like engine mounts, that need shock absorption. Engine mounts need durability from the weight of the motor shifting during use and resistance to water, mud, and other mediums. We use the right rubber, natural or synthetic, with the most effective processes. This includes our injection, transfer, or compression method to produce each product.    

Appliance and Commercial Use

Appliances, including washing machines, may use custom rubber molding products. We can produce tight-fitting seals and grommets that keep the machine water sealed. Most appliances like fridges, dishwashers, and toasters can use rubber molding to protect power cables from damage and wear. Producing products for new appliances will require reliable and effective components, such as tubing and cords. Our team of experts will provide your latest appliances with durable, water-resistant, and energy-efficient products.
