How Material Choice Affects Rubber Extrusion Tolerances
In precision rubber extrusion, maintaining tight rubber extrusion tolerances depends heavily on material selection. Rubber extrusion tolerances refer to the allowable dimensional variation in an extruded rubber profile during manufacture.
Which Rubber Should You Choose?
Selecting the correct elastomer is often a balance between temperature resistance, chemical compatibility and cost. It is rarely about choosing the “best” material overall, but rather selecting the right compound for the operating environment.
