Production methods

Autoclave vulcanisation

Autoclave vulcanisation involves curing rubber under pressure and high temperature in an autoclave.

Extrusion

Extrusion forces rubber through a mould to create long, continuous products.

Mould casting

Moulding produces polyurethane (PU) components by pouring liquid PU material into a mould.

Injection

Injection production uses liquid rubber injected into a sealed mould.

Calendering

Calendering is used to produce rubber sheets by pressing rubber between rotating rollers.

Compression

Manufacturing by compression, or moulding, involves placing rubber in a preheated mould.

Punching & Waterjet cutting

Stamping and waterjet cutting manufactures gaskets and other flat components by cutting materials according to specific patterns.

Transfer

Transfer manufacturing involves pressing preheated rubber from a chamber into a mould.
