Custom Rubber Extrusions
Custom Rubber Extrusions and Bespoke Profiles
Harltex is a UK manufacturer of custom rubber extrusions, producing bespoke profiles, seals and tubing for industrial and engineering applications.
Using both hot and cold feed extrusion technology, we manufacture profiles across a broad range of elastomers. Material selection can be based on operating temperature, chemical exposure, environmental conditions, compression requirements and applicable industry standards.
Our extrusion capability supports development work, short production runs and ongoing production requirements. Components can be manufactured to customer drawings and specified dimensions, with technical support available during material and profile selection.
Typical custom rubber extrusions include:
- Bespoke rubber profiles
- Sealing profiles
- Rubber tubing
- Large-section profiles
- Complex profile sections
- Profiles for industrial and engineering applications
Where required, Harltex can also support applications using specialist compounds including:
Our short-run capability, material range and curing processes support custom extrusion requirements across the UK and Europe.
What is Rubber Extrusion?
Rubber extrusion is a process where rubber compounds are forced through a die to create continuous profiles with precise cross-sectional shapes. This process allows for the production of the following typical products:
- Tubing
- Bespoke Profiles
- Seals
- Customised Seals
Our extrusion capability includes extruders from 60 mm up to 200 mm, supporting a broad range of bespoke rubber profile sizes.
