Aerospace

Aerospace & Defense

RD Rubber manufactures aircraft seals and gaskets for critical-to-function aerospace applications. Our solutions ensure consistent cabin pressure, negate the risk of fluid and air leaks, and provide better protection for sensitive component assemblies. This can extend time between maintenance checks, seal failures, or breakdowns. We work with Viton, EDPM, and silicone to make components used in avionics, cabins, engines, fuel systems, and hydraulic systems across the aerospace industry. These include:

  • Seals
  • Gaskets
  • Grommets
  • Latches
  • Valves

Our products meet MIL-SPEC requirements and other industry standards, as well as customer specifications. In addition to manufacturing, we provide support during every stage of product development and production.

Military

RD Rubber is proud to support military, contractors, and Department of Defense operations with quality engineered custom-molded rubber products which are produced in our California facility. Our rubber components meet or exceed MIL-SPEC standards for flame resistance, temperature resistance, strength, and other key characteristics. Our extensive range of custom-molded rubber products include::

  • Gaskets
  • Grommets
  • Housings
  • Latches
  • O-Rings
  • Seals
  • Poppet assemblies
  • Diaphragms
  • Connectors and buttons
  • Cases
  • Covers
  • Flappers
  • Plungers
  • Shells
  • Switches
  • Vacuum cups
  • Valves
  • Boot pads

We support projects ranging from prototype development to large-scale production of existing designs. We can also create hard-to-find and out-of-production gaskets for legacy or custom equipment.

Space & Satellite

Aerospace/Satellites

Space and satellite capabilities continue to evolve at a rapid pace. RD Rubber Technology Corporation manufactures custom-molded rubber parts and components for the space industry including avionics systems, rocket boosters, launch vehicles, exploration equipment, and other hardware applications. High-quality seals and gaskets are critical to maintain reliable performance and extended service life.

Seals and gaskets in space or satellite applications are subject to extreme forces, temperatures, radiation, and the total vacuum of space. Rubber components need to withstand the harsh environment without degrading, turning brittle, or failing between maintenance cycles. Our sealing solutions meet or exceed standards established by the United States Space Force (USSF) and other government agencies. Depending on project specifications, we use high-performance elastomer materials such as EPDM, neoprene, or silicone to ensure low outgassing and low compression set, optimal temperature resistance, and resistance to chemicals ranging from hydraulic fluids to solvents.

Some of the most common custom-molded rubber solutions we provide for the space and satellite industry are:

  • Covers
  • Diaphragms
  • Gaskets
  • Grommets
  • Raceways
  • Seals
