Custom Rubber Engineering Services for Precision Rubber Component Manufacturing

RD Rubber Technology Corporation provides comprehensive elastomer engineering solutions to produce custom-molded rubber components for critical-to-function applications. As a custom rubber component manufacturer, we support original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) requiring engineered-quality components in highly regulated sectors, including defense, aerospace, and space exploration. All of our components are manufactured domestically at our California facility, which minimizes logistics risks and ensures a secure supply chain for our customers.

We maintain the following registrations and certifications to satisfy regulatory and customer specifications:

Operating in demanding environments requires precise material science. RD Rubber Technology Corporation provides our customers with technical consultations to ensure thermoset elastomer components withstand severe operational stressors, including extreme temperatures, intense pressures, corrosive gases, and reactive chemicals.

Technical Material Matrix

RD Rubber provides thermoset elastomer manufacturing in the 10 to 90 durometer range across diverse polymer groups:

Custom Elastomer Formulation Options

When standard commercial compounds do not align with critical performance criteria, our development team creates custom elastomer formulations. Elastomer matrices can be altered and optimized for:

• Low compression set rubber compounds to maintain elastic properties and sealing force under prolonged compressive stress.
• Resistance to fluid permeation, chemical degradation, and high-altitude radiation exposure.
• Custom color matching to satisfy specific industrial identification or safety specifications.

Additionally, we offer fiber-reinforced rubber for components that need to withstand greater mechanical stressors than what elastomers alone can handle.

Custom Rubber Prototyping Services

To validate component form, fit, and function prior to full-scale production, RD Rubber Technology Corporation offers custom rubber prototyping services.

Custom-molded rubber parts undergo thorough testing for the environment in their intended application. Prototyping enables our engineering team to refine manufacturing parameters, cycle times, as well as material behaviors, which mitigates the risks before initiating high-volume manufacturing.

Advanced Rubber Molding & Substrate Bonding

RD Rubber Technology Corporation maintains specialized manufacturing capabilities across multiple molding and assembly methods to produce engineered-quality custom-molded rubber components for critical-to-function applications.

• Rubber overmolding and Rubber-to-Metal Bonding: An elastomer is molded directly onto a metal or plastic substrate, which eliminates mechanical leak paths and ensures a bond strength that surpasses the tear strength of the rubber itself.
• Rubber Injection, Transfer, and Compression Molding: The optimal process is selected based on part size, compound geometry, and target production volume.
• Liquid Injection Molding (LIM) Capabilities: An automated, repeatable process for high-precision, medium to high-volume liquid silicone rubber component manufacturing.
