Harltex has taken delivery of a rubber mixing mill to expand its in-house milling capability and support the preparation and processing of compounds for rubber moulding and extrusion.
Successful bespoke rubber extrusion projects rely on collaboration between customer and manufacturer from the earliest stages of development. Reviewing profile design, material selection and manufacturing considerations before production helps minimise revisions and supports efficient manufacture.
When designing a rubber component, selecting the correct manufacturing process is one of the earliest and most important engineering decisions. Rubber extrusion and rubber moulding are both widely used across many industrial sectors.
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.
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.
2025 marked a year of steady progress for Harltex. Alongside celebrating the milestone of 40 years as a specialist UK manufacturer of rubber extrusions and profiles. While the anniversary provided an opportunity to reflect on decades of manufacturing expertise, the focus remained firmly on key principles.
The reliable Elastomer for Oil, Fuel & Industrial Applications. EN682 Gas NBR, also known as Buna-N, is a synthetic rubber made from acrylonitrile and butadiene. Its oil resistance, durability, and cost-effectiveness make EN682 Gas NBR one of the most widely used elastomers across industries.
At Harltex, we’ve combined decades of expertise in engineered rubber with the latest material science. VIT700 is not just another FKM—it’s a carefully developed compound that provides a balance of strength, resilience, and resistance across multiple environments.
This year marks a major milestone for Harltex Ltd — 40 years of precision-engineered rubber mouldings, extrusions, and bonded products, evolving with the industry, and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
At Harltex, we combine decades of experience with cutting-edge technology to deliver rubber extrusion solutions that meet the most demanding specifications. . .
