We solve problems

We do it using rubber technology. That means using the materials experts, toolmaking knowledge, rubber moulding process and experience, manufacturing skills and test equipment that we have on site – all at our fingertips.

The tougher the problem, the happier we are.

Experts in rubber moulding concepts

We don’t make the claim lightly. Success across 150 years in business doesn’t happen by accident. We have some of the most highly skilled rubber moulding industry experts working both with and for us. The heavy equipment we use hasn’t needed much in the way of alterations or changes over a very long period. However, its integration with cutting-edge software, and our innovation in research techniques and materials development, certainly has.

If you want to know how we do it and what facilities we have, there is a wealth of technical information and details about our facilities on this site.

Moulded rubber gaskets

Put simply, a gasket is a mechanical seal between distinct substrate sections.

At Martin’s Rubber Company, we produce high-quality moulded rubber gaskets for sealing applications. When designed with the application in mind and the right material selected, our custom gaskets can effectively seal both liquid and gas applications whilst offering additional properties where required, such as thermal or electrical insulation and conductivity. For complex geometries or to seal gaps which are not on one plane, a moulded gasket is often the only solution that offers a one-piece fully formed gasket to fit. A moulded gasket is repeatable, whilst the lack of joins, splits and fabrication results in a more reliable and effective seal compared to other manufacturing methods. At Martin’s Rubber Company, we are committed to delivering excellence in moulded rubber gaskets, meeting the diverse needs of our customers.

Rubber seals

A seal is either used to prevent two elements from coming apart or to prevent anything passing between them. It may be that the best solution is a stand-alone moulding or a machined polyurethane u-seal, or it might be better to produce a dual material part with PTFE bonded directly to rubber, to ensure a low-friction seal which is still compliant as needed.

We offer a range of fluid power sealing solutions, with the option to prototype a seal by machining it in an engineering plastic, and then taking it to a moulded option once proven.

With so many manufacture and material options available, we can provide the technical solution to fulfill your requirements – including providing FEA analysis to establish how the seal will likely function and wear.
