About Pexco
Elastomer Extrusions
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.
Featured Materials
| Material | Key Benefit | Typical Uses |
|---|---|---|
| EPDM (Dense / Sponge) | Weather, ozone, and UV resistance | Outdoor seals, automotive tubing and seals, electrical insulation |
| Silicone (Dense / Sponge) | Extreme temperature tolerance and purity | Food-grade gaskets, medically compliant materials, high temperature applications |
| Neoprene (Dense) | Balanced chemical, oil, and weather resistance | Industrial seals, vibration isolation |
| Nitrile (Dense) | Excellent oil and fuel resistance | Automotive and hydraulic seals |
| SBR (Dense) | Economical, good abrasion resistance | General-purpose seals and gaskets |
| Polyisoprene (Sponge) | Soft, flexible, natural rubber properties | Cushioning, vibration pads |
| TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) | Processable like plastic, flexible like rubber | Seals and weatherstripping |
