Custom Silicone Extrusion Capabilities
Silicone extrusion is a manufacturing process used to produce continuous lengths of silicone rubber in specific cross-sectional shapes. It is commonly used to manufacture tubing, cord, seals, gaskets, and custom profiles for industrial and commercial applications.
ARCO Silicone’s extrusion capabilities include:- Custom silicone tubing: Tubing manufactured to application-specific dimensional and material requirements.
- Silicone cord and rubber profiles: Custom cross-sectional shapes designed for sealing, cushioning, and other component applications.
- Silicone seals and gaskets: Extruded components developed around specified dimensions and application needs.
- Silicone foam products: Foam components for applications requiring particular material and product characteristics.
- Custom compounds and finishing: Options evaluated according to project specifications and manufacturing requirements.
Specialized Silicone Extrusion Material Properties
Custom silicone extrusions can be manufactured using compounds selected for specific application requirements. Depending on the formulation and operating conditions, these requirements may include oil resistance, metal detectability, flame retardancy, extreme temperatures, ozone and UV exposure, steam resistance, and autoclave compatibility.
ARCO Silicone works with customers to evaluate material and performance requirements for custom extrusion projects.
Custom Solutions for Industrial Applications
Custom silicone extrusions serve a variety of applications across industries such as electrical equipment, HVAC, industrial manufacturing, and packaging machinery.
Material selection and product design depend on factors such as operating temperature, flexibility, hardness, dimensions, environmental exposure, and applicable industry requirements. ARCO Silicone works with customers to understand these needs and evaluate an appropriate manufacturing approach.
Projects can range from prototype development and smaller production runs to larger-volume manufacturing programs. For businesses planning recurring orders, discussing expected quantities and future production needs helps establish the scope of the project.
