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

  • Customizable shapes and profiles.
  • High durability and flexibility.
  • Excellent resistance to weather, chemicals, and heat (depending on the rubber compound).

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

  • The gaskets create a conductive seal between two surfaces, preventing EMI/RFI from entering or exiting the enclosure.
  • Materials like conductive rubber or metal-filled elastomers ensure both electrical conductivity and environmental sealing.

 

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

  • Electronics: Enclosures for circuit boards, connectors, and power supplies.
  • Aerospace and Defense: Shielding avionics and communication systems.
  • Automotive: Protecting sensors and electronic modules.
  • Medical Devices: Shielding diagnostic equipment and patient monitoring systems.
  • Telecommunications: Securing server racks and network devices.

 

Advantages

  • Protects sensitive components from interference.
  • Combines electrical conductivity with environmental sealing.
  • Customizable for specific enclosures and applications.

 

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:

  • Conductive Extruded Rubber: Combines the flexibility of rubber with conductive fillers for EMI shielding.
  • Dual-Purpose Gaskets: Provides weatherproofing and electromagnetic shielding in one product.

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.
