Rubber has long been a vital material in modern industry thanks to its unique combination of flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance. Whether used in sealing systems, vibration dampening, or fluid control, rubber products offer unmatched performance across a wide range of industrial applications.

At DXTSEALS, we specialize in the custom design and manufacturing of high-performance rubber components, ensuring reliability and precision even in the most demanding environments.


🔍 Performance Features of Rubber Products

The success of rubber in industrial use comes down to its versatile physical and chemical properties, which can be tailored through formulation and processing.

✅ 1. Elasticity and Flexibility

Rubber components can undergo deformation and return to their original shape, making them ideal for dynamic applications like seals, gaskets, and mounts.

✅ 2. Temperature Resistance

Advanced rubber formulations can withstand a wide range of temperatures — from -60°C to over 200°C — making them suitable for environments from arctic cold to extreme heat.

✅ 3. Chemical Resistance

Rubber compounds such as EPDM, Viton®, and NBR are resistant to:

  • Oils and fuels

  • Acids and alkalis

  • Water and steam

✅ 4. Weather and Ozone Resistance

Outdoor applications require materials that can resist UV, ozone, and oxygen aging. EPDM and silicone rubbers perform exceptionally well in such conditions.

✅ 5. Electrical Insulation

Certain rubber types (e.g., silicone and EPDM) provide excellent dielectric properties, making them suitable for electrical isolation applications.

✅ 6. Vibration and Shock Absorption

Rubber is widely used in mounts, bushings, and dampeners to reduce vibration and improve equipment longevity.
