Extrusion is a process used to create objects of a fixed cross-sectional profile. A material is pushed or drawn through a die of the desired cross-section. The main advantage of this process, over other manufacturing processes, is its ability to create very complex cross-sections and work materials that are brittle, because the material only encounters compressive and shear stresses. It also forms finished parts with an excellent surface finish.

Compression Molding involves placing the uncured rubber compound into a heated, open mold cavity, then closing the mold under pressure (usually in a hydraulic press) to initiate vulcanization (curing). Transfer Molding requires the uncured rubber compound to be placed in a transfer chamber, heated, then forced into the mold cavity under pressure until cured. Injection Molding entails preheating uncured rubber in a chamber, then injecting it into a closed, heated mold.

Oil and grease seals have a flexible lip that rubs against a shaft or housing to prevent the leakage or ingress of fluids and dirt. For proper installation, the seal lip should point towards the medium being contained. Lusida Rubber manufactures oil seals of different types, shapes and sizes.

Extruded sponge rubber is made in a manner similar to solid rubber, but like in molding, chemicals are added to create sponge rubber extrusions which can be used in a wide variety of situations. Lusida Rubber also manufactures closed cell sponge rubber with wire and metal inserts.

Lusida rubber manufactures a wide variety of rubber to metal bonding products, which include vibration mounts, metal gaskets, etc. Vibration mounds are basically used to isolate vibration, shock, and noise caused by machinery, although they are used in a wide range of applications in the industry. Lusida rubber makes rubber to metal bonded products compounded to your specifications with special adhesives to meet your unique requirement.
