Flexible Rubber Insulating Boot

Know that they could rely on us to provide the design assistance and rubber molding experience they needed, an existing customer again contacted Custom Rubber Corp. to manufacture this flexible rubber insulating boot. (Continued below.)

(Ref. 105626)

The rubber in this flexible insulating boot is used to create internal insulation around its aluminum frame. Custom Rubber Corp. assisted the customer with every aspect of the process, from the initial design to the finished rubber part. The customer knew they could depend on our experience to develop a rubber cmpound that met all of their specifications: resistance to oil, gas, and electricity, plus the addition of a no slip agent. After trying out different compound options, Custom Rubber Corp. was able to engineer the best rubber compound for the product and also develop the best adhesive process for bonding rubber to metal.

In order to maximize both the effectiveness and the efficiency of the flexible rubber insulating boot, Custom Rubber Corp. helped to fine-tune the design of the product. Rather than having the rubber adhered to the inside of a graduated taper at the joint, Custom Rubber Corp. suggested having the rubber compound bonded the external face of the tapered metal end. This design change significantly improved both the product and the molding process since it facilitated easier adhesive application, more precise alignment, and better rubber flow.
