Moulded rubber products - Import export

The well known under-bonnet temperature increase has been resolved mainly by using high-performance polymers with the capability of withstanding temperatures in excess of 200°C. Some of the rubber mouldings commonly encountered in a car include O-rings, seals and grommets. Rubber mouldings are required to resist oils and greases as well as dirt, water, and weathering. Many custom rubber moulding solutions are subject to dynamic loading, including engine mounts and exhaust hangers. Applications requiring the best oil and chemical resistance and good ageing in hot fuel vapours are accommodated using high-performance fluoro (FKM) and fluorosilicone (FVMQ) elastomers. The bonding of rubber to other substrates is a crucial part of being able to offer novel solutions.

At DLR Elastomer, we pride ourselves on offering a bespoke custom rubber moulding service, understanding application requirements, designing the parts, tooling & process to deliver the product to the clients’ exact and demanding performance needs. Our technical team is happy to advise on materials best suited for your application. Where necessary, we can modify the existing compound and/or develop new compounds keeping the service performance conditions of your product in mind. In addition, we monitor and apply current developments in polymer technology and we use this knowledge to develop even more advanced materials which will benefit our customers. Dlr Elastomer Engineering Rubber component design can be critical to its performance. We offer advice on all aspects of product design, helping to enhance performance & service life. Working from a sample, sketch or drawing, we can quickly select the materials required to provide a quotation for parts and associated tooling.

As a rubber moulding company, engineered bespoke rubber mouldings are developed on-site in collaboration with mould designers. The range of injection, compression, and transfer moulding presses on-site enables us to provide clients with various solutions. Rubber, alongside woven fabrics and custom made inserts, are regularly used in mouldings.

DLR is a supplier to all three arms of the UK Armed Services via the MoD and; other national armed forces and defence contractors. Supplying rubber products for the defence industry is demanding; quality and performance are paramount, specifications rigorous and reliability of supply vital. DLR is one of the Royal Navy’s oldest current suppliers. The designs and products have had to keep pace with developments in the defence industry. Accordingly, we have adopted new material technologies & optimised our materials & processes to meet the specific demands placed on polymer-based products for a diverse range of military applications.
