Four Ways That Custom Rubber Moulding Products Allow You Customisation

There are many reasons to choose custom rubber moulding products over the standard off-the-shelf products. One of the most important is that they allow you to create your own unique products. This means you can make exactly what you want, from a product that will solve a problem in your industry, to one that will delight customers with its fun and funky design.

Custom rubber moulding products can be designed for any industry or application, and there are four ways that they allow you customisation.

1. Custom Rubber Moulding Products Allow You To Customise Shape

If you are looking to produce plastic extrusion products, there are a lot of standard moulding profiles to choose from. However, if you want to create something unique and customised, then you need to use custom rubber moulding products. They allow you to design the exact shape that you want for your product, whether it is round, square, or hexagonal. Custom rubber moulding products also allow you to design customised hole sizes, which will make it easier for you to connect your product together.

2. Custom Rubber Moulding Products Allow You To Customise Colour

If you need to produce bulk latex tubing products, you have a lot of options when it comes to colour. You can choose from a huge range of standard colours or you can even produce your own custom colour. This is also possible with custom rubber moulding products. The process involves adding dyes into the raw material before extrusion, which means that you can create almost any colour that you want for your final product.

3. Custom Rubber Moulding Products Allow You To Customise Texture

Textures such as matte or gloss finishes can improve grip and make your product more attractive to consumers. You may also want to add texture to your product for visual appeal, or even just to make it easier to hold. For example, if you want a rubber tubing product with a rough surface finish, you can do this by adding small particles of sand into the material before extrusion.

4. Custom Rubber Moulding Products Can Be Made With Different Levels Of Shore Hardness

Shore hardness is an indication of how hard or flexible the final product will be. If you are producing plastic moulding products that need to be flexible, such as the rubber tubing example above, then you will want to use a softer shore hardness measurement. On the other hand, if you are producing something that needs to be hard and durable, like an industrial hose or a protective cover for machinery, then you should use a higher number on the scale.

About Me

Welcome visitors. My name is Tim Hayes and this is my humble blog about industrial equipment and supplies. When I was a child, my dad worked as an engine driver in a sugar mill. I was mesmerised by all the machinery and tools needed to keep the mill functioning. My dad would patiently explain about the gauges and turbines and how they worked. I only ever heard him swear when they were waiting for parts and the machinery wouldn't operate properly! That was the start of my life-long preoccupation with what goes on behind the scenes in producing the goods we take for granted. If you are inquisitive about industrial equipment and supplies, I hope that these posts add some spark to your day. Thank you.
