Uses

They’re everywhere!

Industrial
Industrial grade elastomers are used throughout industry for zillions of different things. AFAC decided to make bespoke rubber mouldings in the mid 1980’s before masking catalogues were even a thing. Coming from an engineering background, AFAC’s specialism is high temperature  masking for manufacturers, engineers & metal finishers. Afac is commissioned to make bespoke rubber mouldings for all sorts of niche applications from masking light to electrical insulation, vibration reduction and chemical resistance. We even supplied the Science Museum with standard parts for an exhibit!

Retail
Food grade is the minimum standard for manufacturing elastomers for the retail market. Food grade essentially means safe. In retail there is a need to make bespoke rubber mouldings for too many things to count. The types of products moulded from elastomers in the retail space increases exponentially, everywhere you look from phones to furniture, cookware to lighting.

Medical
The top grade. Does what it says on the tin, it can be used in hospitals and labs. It’s not our bag and isn’t likely to be any time soon.

What we make Bespoke Rubber Mouldings from

High Temperature Rubber

AFAC’s niche is high temperature elastomers. Having discovered the properties of Silicone Rubber in the 1980s, the applications for its use have become broader and broader. Customers with differing needs have required different elastomers. As the production process is identical, these have been added to the standard options.

  • Silicone Rubber
  • EPDM
  • Viton

The materials we make bespoke rubber mouldings from have differing properties.

The range of materials covers such a broad range of applications that AFAC has chosen to stick with these and do them incredibly well.

Silicone Rubber

Incredibly versatile material with high temperature resistance and outstanding sealing properties. Available in a massive range of colours, Silicone rubber can be moulded and extruded with precision to supply durable quality products and components.

EPDM Rubber

A versatile material with excellent waterproofing, electrical insulation and noise reducing qualities, with good resistance to ketones, ordinary diluted acids, and alkalies.

Technical InformationRead more about EPDM Rubber.
Viton Rubber
Viton is a brand of synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer commonly used in O-rings, chemical-resistant gloves, and other moulded or extruded goods. The name is a registered trademark of The Chemours Company.
