Rubber Molding



Rubber products are extensively used for various purposes such as automotive, industrial, food processing, aerospace and HVAC. Rubber is actually of two types – natural rubber and synthetic rubber. There are different types of custom rubber products which are used in machinery and the things which we use in our daily routine. There are number of companies who manufacture rubber products. Lusida rubber manufactures both molded products and extruded products. Rubber molding products are O ring, grommet, washers, and bushings. Rubber companies extrude all common polymers like chloroprene, SBR, NBR, natural rubber, butyl, viton, nit rile, neoprene, EPDM and others. Lusida rubber products have a team of engineers having experience even more than a decade. These engineers design the components for different industries such as lighting industries, aerospace, automotive etc.
In many cases the molded products are created by injection molding. This is the most innovative and efficient way to create molded products. Rubber injection molding successfully alters the plastics process by heating the rubber and placing it under significantly more pressure per square inch of cavity surface in molding. Unlike custom molding where materials are cooled under less pressure.

Polystyrene, nylon, polypropylene and polythene are used in the process of plastic extrusion. These are called thermoplastics. When they are heated and then pressured in a mould they can be formed into different shapes and sections.
Lucida rubber products also manufacture fiber reinforced hoses which are suitable for industrial applications where high pressure resistance is required. Fiber reinforced hose has an excellent heat resistance, tensile strength and adhesiveness with the rubber layers.
