Custom Molded Rubber Parts
Seal Science is a complete engineering and manufacturing resource for the development and supply of a wide range of custom molded rubber parts. Seal Science’s material design group provides customers with custom engineered compounds capable of meeting the most stringent application requirements. SSI utilizes both on-site compounding and on-site testing for all types of elastomeric materials.
Seal Science is also structured as an engineering support organization. We can provide application and manufacturing solutions for a wide range of industries. SSI incorporates design engineering, material science, and mechanical and physical property testing in our engineering methodology. Seal Science also utilizes 3-dimensional solid modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) when required for more critical applications. Check out this page for more info on our design capabilities.
Manufacturing Processes:
SSI incorporates many types of manufacturing processes in order to fabricate our custom molded products. With press sizes running from 9″ x 9″ up to to 38″ x 38″, we are able to design and produce small and large volume runs depending on your requirements. Here are the main processes that we use for our rubber products:
- Compression Molding
- Transfer Molding
- Injection Molding
- Hand Lay-up Fabrication
- Cryogenic Deflashing
