Central Rubber Extrusions is a custom manufacturer of a variety of rubber compounds for many different industries. Our compounds meet or exceed ASTM standards and we can develop compounds to meet your specific requirements. We have the capabilities to extrude the compounds listed below.

EPDM & Colored EPDM Wedges

Black Part #: C193 Gray Part #: CR130 Category: Wedge Material: EPDM Rubber 70 Durometer

EPDM & Colored EPDM

Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer is well known for its excellent ozone, weathering, and aging resistance. 

It also has excellent water and steam resistance, maintains its flexibility at low temperatures, features excellent resistance to alkalis, acids and oxygenated solvents, and is very color stable.  It is not recommended for resistance to oil, gasoline and hydrocarbon solvents.  EPDM is found in a wide range of applications and is excellent for use outdoors.

EPDM gaskets can be found in applications ranging from basic commodities such as hoses, belts and o-rings to complex, highly engineered seals for automotive, window, door, mass transit and more.

EPDM Peroxide

This rubber polymer also is a very good source for adhesion requirements for structural glazing.

Sponge EPDM

Our Sponge EPDM rubber products containing many cells or small hollow receptacles dispersed throughout the mass.

Silicone & Colored Silicone

Part #: C713 Category: Wedge Material: Silicone Rubber 70 Durometer White and Black

Silicone & Colored Silicone

Ideal material for extreme temperatures.

Silicone compounds are the preferred choice if you have an application that requires high heat or very low temperatures.

Silicone is known for it’s high performance, abrasion resistance and diverse material offerings.  Silicone offers enhanced color stability, and CRE can provide the value added capability of color matching.

Silicone features excellent resistance to ozone, sunlight and oxidation, and is very color stable.  It also maintains excellent flexibility at low temperatures, has outstanding resistance to high heat, low compression set, and is a very good electrical insulator.  However, it is not recommended for applications, which require abrasion resistance, tear and cut growth resistance, and high tensile strength.  Nor is it recommended for resistance to oil, gasoline, solvents alkalis, and acids.

Part #: 22 Cord & 25 Cord Category: Cord Material: 80 Durometer Neoprene Sponge Rubber

Neoprene Sponge

This polymer is an excellent all-purpose Elastomer with a good blend of properties including resistance to abrasion, flex cracking and oils.

Has moderate resistance to oils and gasoline.  It features good flame resistance, weathers well and has very good resistance to abrasion, flex cracking, alkalis and acids.  However, expect poor resistance to aromatic and oxygenated solvents and limited flexibility at low temperatures.  Neoprene is generally considered an excellent all-purpose elastomer with a solid balance of properties and few limitations.

Extrusion Materials Nitrile Photo

Part #: C1054 Category: Spacer Material: Nitrile Rubber 40 durometer black

Nitrile

Good resistance to oil and gasoline

Nitrile has very good oil and gasoline resistance, permeability, and heat and abrasion resistance.  Its resistance to alkalis and acids all increase as the nitrile content of the compound increases.

Nitrile must be specially compounded for resistance to ozone, sunlight and natural aging, and has poor resistance to oxygenated solvents.  Nitrile is superior to neoprene in oils and solvent resistance, but is not recommended for applications where it is exposed to severe weathering.

Nitrile’s service temperature ranges from -30 degrees F to 375 degrees F.

Neoprene part C1017

Part #: C1017 Category: Miscellaneous Material: 60 durometer Neoprene

Neoprene

This polymer is an excellent all-purpose Elastomer with a good blend of properties including resistance to abrasion, flex cracking and oils.

Has moderate resistance to oils and gasoline.  It features good flame resistance, weathers well and has very good resistance to abrasion, flex cracking, alkalis and acids.  However, expect poor resistance to aromatic and oxygenated solvents and limited flexibility at low temperatures.  Neoprene is generally considered an excellent all-purpose elastomer with a solid balance of properties and few limitations.

SBR part C327

Part #: C327 Category: Miscellaneous Material: SBR Rubber 60 durometer black

SBR

Copolymer of Butadiene and Styrene; an all purpose type synthetic, similar to natural rubber.  Butadiene is a gaseous material of petroleum; Styrene, a reaction product of ethylene and benzene.
