Rubber Processing Methods


Rubber Home > Processing Methods

Silastic® silicone rubber offers ease of fabrication resulting in high productivity and cost effective rubber processing and outperforms many organic elastomers.

Silastic High Consistency Silicone Rubber (HCR) and Silastic Fluorosilicone Rubber (FSR)

HCR and FSR are thermoset materials fabricated on conventional rubber and plastics equipment, using one of the following processing methods:

For all of the techniques used in the production of rubber parts, including rubber injection molding, rubber transfer molding, and rubber extrusion, view the "Fabricating with Silastic High Consistency Silicone Rubber" guide.
