What is the custom moulded rubber design process?

Sometimes off-the-shelf rubber seals simply won’t cut it. Custom applications require custom moulded rubber solutions and this is where TRP Polymer Solutions can give you the competitive edge. With more than 25 years of successful component design and development to our name, our peerless experience and expertise has seen our bespoke rubber moulding solutions used in some of the most specialist and severe environments in the world.

Bespoke rubber moulding

TRP Polymer Solutions is the name manufacturers trust when they need custom rubber moulding services they can rely on. As industry-leading rubber moulders, we design, develop and manufacture a wide range of custom rubber moulded products. Custom rubber seals are a particular forte of ours, including bespoke rubber gaskets, diaphragms and seals to name but a few of our high-performance bespoke rubber moulding solutions.

How does the custom rubber moulding process work?

TRP supports the rubber moulding design process from concept through to production. We work closely with you to develop high-quality custom solutions, supported every step of the way by the skills and knowledge of our polymerists. Every custom rubber moulding project follows a consistent set of processes here at TRP Polymer Solutions. The following is a brief overview of what you can expect when you work with us:

• Conceptual design – The first stage is for us to develop a working conceptual design.
• Prototype – Then we produce a prototype to rigorously test the product’s design. 
• Pre-production – From thereon in we will develop all the necessary tooling required.
• Operational – Finally, we are ready to manufacture your bespoke rubber product.

“At TRP Polymer Solutions, we relish a challenge,” says Peter Watts, Managing Director at TRP Polymer Solutions. “We welcome projects from every walk of industrial life and have developed bespoke rubber moulding solutions for virtually every type of application imaginable. From PTFE protected gaskets for chemical processing applications to RGD resistant mouldings for oil and gas customers, no challenge is too big or too complex.

“We combine decades of industry experience with state-of-the-art rubber moulding technology and techniques, as well as some of the most talented polymerists in the business, to provide the most comprehensive custom rubber moulding services available. Our innate understanding of polymer materials and the requirements of high-performance parts for specialist applications makes us one of the UK’s foremost rubber moulders.”
