Natural Rubber Mouldings
Natural Rubber Mouldings
Here at Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, we provide various moulded components produced from numerous types of rubber and plastics. One of our materials commonly used for moulding is solid natural rubber. Solid natural rubber is made using naturally occurring latex from rubber trees and is an excellent material for a variety of applications due to its strength, durability, and shock absorption capabilities. Moulding refers to the process of transforming raw materials, usually plastic or rubber, into a specific shape and usable product using one of three methods. All our mouldings are made to order and created using samples or drawings from our customers.
Whether we manufacture as a one-off or in large quantities, we work closely with our customers throughout the manufacturing process to provide a completely bespoke service. Utilizing state-of-the-art machinery and close relationships with various supplies, we ensure we produce high quality products meeting a range of specifications.
Solid Natural Rubber is available from us in many other forms including:

What is Solid Natural Rubber?
Natural rubber is the result of solids suspended in a milky fluid, known as latex, formed in a living organism. It is a strong, durable and waterproof material, available from us as standard in rolls at, 1.4 metres wide x 10 metres long with thickness starting at 0.5mm.
Solid natural rubber is manufactured using naturally occurring latex from the rubber tree and is available in various shore strengths. Due to its high tensile strength and good abrasion resistance, solid natural rubber is ideal to produce parts where a strong robust material resistance is required.
Why use Solid Natural Rubber Mouldings?
Natural rubber mouldings can take many forms including feet, buffers, sleeves and O-rings. All mountings are all designed to provide protection and prevent the leakage or ingress of air, fluid or gas. Mouldings are ideal for customers looking for non-standard profile products to fit specific applications.
Producing moulded parts ensures an identical product each time, which is essential for high volume production. Solid natural rubber has many advantages including its strength, durability and water and heat resistant properties. Common uses of solid natural rubber include conveyor belting, outdoor sealing applications such as window and door seals, and components within the automotive industry such as pumps and hydraulics.
Different Grades of Solid Natural Rubber Mouldings
- BS1154 Natural rubber mouldings - This high-grade natural rubber has high tensile strength and is-non-abrasive. This material is available in black or white, enabling it to be used within the food and beverage production and packaging industries
- Tan Shot Blast rubber mouldings - A superior, long-lasting material with a high abrasion resistance, this material is ideal for very heavy-duty applications such as scraper blades and chute linings.
- Abrasion Resistant Natural Rubber mouldings - This high-quality natural rubber is specifically formulated and manufactured to resist abrasion and wear, it has high elasticity and is an effective seal under low compression settings. Available in black, red or white.
