Rubbercraft

RUBBERCRAFT MANUFACTURES AND ASSEMBLES A VARIETY OF HIGH-QUALITY, PRECISION-ENGINEERED PARTS AND COMPONENTS USING PROPRIETARY CUSTOMIZED POLYMER FORMULATIONS WITH VARIOUS REINFORCEMENTS AND SURFACE LAYERS. With the subject matter experts in our account management team and the advanced engineering capabilities to develop and design specific custom solutions, we are confident of meeting both technical and cost expectations. At the outset of each project, we thoroughly explore project requirements, expected operating environment, history and application in order to develop an optimized solution. We will design the best construction configurations, reinforcement and coatings, which may include creation of specialized materials to suit your specific application requirements. With thousands of material formulae developed over many years and applications in Aerospace, Rubbercraft’s resources are considerable so it is almost certain we have a material to suit your needs. This systems engineering approach brings customers’ and Rubbercraft teams together in a productive union that enhances the specification and design, helps explore tooling alternatives, optimizes the solution deliverable – and importantly saves time and money. Rubbercraft’s manufacturing facilities are equipped with state-of-the-art extrusion, molding, forming and machining equipment for consistently accurate and efficient production of elastomeric components. Comprehensively equipped to handle everything from a single, one-of-a-kind part to a production run of a million units, Rubbercraft applies rigorous QA practices throughout and has a justified reputation for reliable delivery schedules.

RUBBERCRAFT'S EMI SHIELDING CUSTOM-FORMULATED ELASTOMERS AND SYSTEMS HAVE OUTSTANDING PHYSICAL PROPERTIES, INCLUDING LONG LIFE IN CRITICAL APPLICATIONS, HIGH CHEMICAL, FUEL AND SOLVENT RESISTANCE AND A WIDE USABLE TEMPERATURE RANGE. Our ability to combine EMI shielding and traditional sealing technology, integrated with customer components, provides electrical conductivity between mating surfaces while ensuring environmental protection as well as vibration isolation. Shielding performance is outstanding for EMI, RFI and high frequency emission. EMI requirements can be met by molding in place, extruding continuous lengths, die cutting from sheet and vulcanizing to metal, composite, and a wide range of other materials. In addition to our custom material formulations, Rubbercraft is one of a few manufacturers certified on the QPL for all MIL-DTL-83528 material types. We manufacture and test our materials at our state of the art facility in Long Beach, CA and we can fabricate your custom designs in multiple locations. With our unique development and production capabilities, Rubbercraft is able to formulate to customer specific shielding requirements while also meeting your environmental application needs. Designs and material formulations can be tailored to your individual application. THERMAL MANAGEMENT High speed processors and high density electronic packages generate significant heat that can compromise the performance and lifetime of computing devices and electronic systems. Rubbercraft has developed proprietary thermal elastomers to help protect your electronics through effective thermal management. Rubbercraft's elastomers are filled with thermally conductive materials and shielding, which remove and distribute heat buildup for reliable and efficient system operations. Materials can be formulated to either isolate heat or effectively conduct and transfer the heat buildup. Our elastomer thermal pads fill the gaps between the heat generating components and heat dissipating surfaces (heatsinks) to maximize thermal dissaption, while forming an electrically-insulating layer between the two surfaces. These materials can be used with or without a reinforcing carrier. With unique development and production capabilities, Rubbercraft is able to custom formulate unique thermal management materials and designs. Configurations and material formulations can be tailored to your individual application.

RUBBERCRAFT PRODUCES A WIDE VARIETY OF SEALS AND GASKETS THAT ARE USED EXTENSIVELY IN AEROSPACE, AVIATION, DEFENSE AND MEDICAL INDUSTRIES. Our elastomeric seals are widely used throughout both commercial and military aircraft, including wing seals such as flap, slat, aileron and spoiler applications; engine nacelle seals including fire barrier seals; airframe seals including door, window, pylon, molded plate, fairing, hatch and access panel seals, and also all interior products that require specific FST (fire, smoke, toxicity) and color matching. Rubbercraft’s products are fabricated from specially-formulated compounds tailored to exact project requirements.

RUBBERCRAFT'S CMI PRODUCT LINE OF EYEGUARDS, EYECUPS AND EYESHIELDS HAVE BEEN PROVEN IN THE FIELD THROUGH DECADES OF CONTINUED USE. Used on a variety of mission critical night vision (light enhanced) and thermal optoelectronic (electro-optic) devices for military and law enforcement applications, these Patented light secure shuttered eyeguards, eyecups and eyeshields have been designed for comfort and performance. They feature unique characteristics to support the specialized requirements of the armed forces, Homeland Security and law enforcement communities. We understand that each customer application has its own unique set of requirements, our subject matter experts are here to help. We will partner with you to design the optimal solution for your application, both performance and budget. Having worked with all the major OEM's of these systems we know what it takes to bring forth a successful engineered solution.
