RPM Industrial Rubber Parts engineers and produces precision custom-molded rubber components—from catalog grommets, O-rings and suction cups modified to new dimensions or durometers, to completely bespoke NVH isolators—using compression, transfer and high-precision injection molding. Advanced material formulations (EPDM, Nitrile, Silicone, Neoprene, Natural Rubber, Viton®, SBR, HNBR, FFKM) combine with servo-controlled presses, vacuum tooling and in-house mold design to deliver durable, RMA-compliant parts up to 24 × 24 × 6 in (610 × 610 × 152 mm).

Custom-Molded Rubber Suction Cups with Integral Pull Rings

Colored Elastomer O-Rings (Silicone & Nitrile)

Custom elastomer components formed by compression, transfer or injection molding— including O-rings, gaskets, diaphragms, grommets, bumpers, bellows and complex over-molded geometries—used for sealing, damping, fluid handling and vibration control across automotive, aerospace, medical and industrial markets.

Rubber Molded Parts

High-volume automotive & industrial programs.

Compression Molding plastically shapes thermoset, elastomeric, or thermoplastic composite charges by closing a heated matched-metal die under tonnage. Heat and pressure drive flow, consolidation, and cross-linking (for thermosets), delivering near-net-shape parts with low void content and excellent fiber wet-out.

Compression Molding

Rubber Injection Molding (RIM) pre-heats uncured elastomer pellets or strips and injects the compound under high pressure into a vacuum-sealed, heated mold. The closed tool is held at 150 – 220 °C until the polymer cross-links, producing flash-free parts with tight dimensional control and short cure cycles. RIM is ideal for high-volume production of complex rubber geometries while minimising labour and scrap.

Rubber Injection Molding

Transfer molding of uncured elastomer charges using a heated plunger to force material from a transfer pot into closed rubber cavities. Delivers finer detail, reduced flash, and allows insert encapsulation versus traditional compression molding.

Rubber Transfer Molding

Rubber Deflashing & Post-Cure

Custom Rubber Molding & Molded Parts

RPM produces precision rubber profiles—P-strips, L-strips, U-channels, square and round cords, bulb seals and door gaskets—through continuous extrusion, in-line vulcanisation and secondary fabrication. Low-cost, quick-turn dies let engineers specify any custom cross-section instead of compromising on off-the-shelf shapes. Laser-gauged lines (25 – 200 mm screw diameters) hold ±0.05 mm, while cut-to-length, vulcanised splicing and PSA taping convert coils into installation-ready seals and bumpers for automotive, architectural and industrial enclosures.
