What Is Silicone Rubber Extrusion?
Silicone extrusions typically show a huge improvement over other materials – they last longer, come in a multitude of colours, and stand up to a wider variety of environmental conditions.
The Silicone Extrusion Process
Rubber extruding is a part forming process generally performed by rubber fabricators
- 1.The silicone compound is fed into the extruder
- 2.The next step involves feeding of materials in the feed hopper
- 3.The material is then fed into different flutes present in the revolving screw
- 4.The screw will start carrying the rubber into the die forward and pressure as the material gets close to the die
- 5.The silicone is then forced through the extrusion die to form the required profile
- 6.Finally,the extruded profile passes through an oven that cures the product with radiant heat

Custom Silicone Extrusion FAQs
Extruded silicone is relatively clear, which makes it easy to color in applications with specific organizational or aesthetic needs. It also makes it well-suited for the fabrication of clear tubing. Resistant to high temperatures. Most common silicone extrusions can handle temperatures as high as 500°F.
Silicone has some unique properties that make it preferable to other materials in some specific circumstances.
These include:
>Excellent temperature resistances,with standard ranges from -60C to +200C and higher temperature grades available if required.
>Flexibility and integrity,helping to keep its shape and maintain a perfect seal Resistance to oil,chemicals,heat and water
>Available in any color you require
The large range of liquids and pastes that can be processed makes extrusion-based technologies a clear advantage. Thus, practically all silicones can be used: From low to high viscosity, standard LSR to UV-curing and particle-filled silicones, as well as RTV (room temperature vulcanization).
EXTRUSION After that, the silicone compounds proceed through the extrusion process, when the tool (die) actually carves the contour. Following a heating phase without external pressure (pressureless vulcanization), addition curing with a platinum catalyst or peroxide curing are used.
