EXTRUDED RUBBER
Extruded rubber is a manufacturing process in which rubber material is pushed through a die of the desired cross-sectional shape, creating continuous profiles. This method is ideal for producing seals, gaskets, and other flexible, durable components with consistent dimensions.
How Extruded Rubber is Made
Material: Selection:Rubber compounds like EPDM, silicone, neoprene, nitrile, or natural rubber are chosen based on the application.
Extrusion: The rubber compound is fed into an extrusion machine, where it is heated and forced through a shaped die.
Curing: The extruded rubber is vulcanized (heat-treated) to enhance strength, elasticity, and durability.
Cutting and Finishing: The extruded profiles are cut to length and may undergo additional processes like splicing, punching, or adhesive backing.
Applications of Extruded Rubber
Automotive: Door seals, weatherstripping, and window gaskets.
Construction: Expansion joints and water seals.
Industrial: Conveyor belts, tubing, and edge trims.
Medical: Silicone tubing for fluid transfer.
Advantages
EMI/RFI Shielding Gaskets
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) shielding gaskets are specialized components designed to block or reduce electromagnetic radiation. They are often used in electronic enclosures to maintain signal integrity and protect sensitive components.
How EMI/RFI Shielding Gaskets Work
Common Materials
Conductive Elastomers: Rubber compounds like silicone or fluorosilicone filled with conductive particles (silver, nickel, or carbon).Combines environmental sealing with EMI shielding.
Metal Gaskets: Made from woven wire mesh, metal foils, or springs for high shielding effectiveness.
Fabric-over-Foam: Conductive fabric wrapped around a foam core, ideal for lightweight applications.
Wire Mesh: Metal wire embedded in rubber for a combination of conductivity and elasticity.
Applications of EMI/RFI Shielding Gaskets
Advantages
Combining Extruded Rubber with EMI/RFI Shielding
In many cases, extruded rubber is integrated with EMI/RFI shielding materials to provide both environmental sealing and electromagnetic protection. For example:
Considerations for Selection
Operating Environment: Consider temperature, humidity, and chemical exposure.
Shielding Effectiveness: Measured in decibels (dB), the gasket should meet required attenuation levels.
Compression Force: Ensure the gasket can form a proper seal without damaging components.
Custom Profiles: Extruded shapes can be tailored for unique enclosures or sealing requirements.
