Pexco manufactures a wide range of elastomer extrusions, including dense and sponge profiles, cords, and tubing engineered for sealing, cushioning, insulation, and vibration damping. Elastomers offer exceptional flexibility, durability, and chemical resistance, making them ideal for demanding industrial, commercial, and environmental applications.
Customized to Your Application Requirements
Customers choose Pexco because we collaborate closely on every extrusion project and tailor each elastomer solution to the application. Our team helps define the right material, compound, and durometer, then designs custom profiles that meet functional, environmental, and regulatory requirements.
Key Characteristics
Elastomers represent a broad family of materials, each offering its own balance of flexibility, durability, and resistance to environmental stress. While their specific performance varies by formulation, most elastomers share the following key characteristics:
Temperature Range: -60°C to 250°C depending on compound (silicone at high end)
Chemical Resistance: Excellent against water, ozone, and many chemicals; varies by base polymer
Elastic Recovery: Exceptional flexibility and rebound under compression or tension
Mechanical Strength: Moderate tensile strength; customizable durometer from very soft to rigid
Electrical Insulation: Strong dielectric performance in many silicone and EPDM grades
Process Versatility: Customized extrusions to meet demanding applications. Options available in both sponge or dense forms
Customization: Color-matching, pressure-sensitive adhesive, cutting, slitting, vulcanization, and other product finishings available.
