What is dual durometer rubber extrusions?
It is a co-extrusion process that fuses two materials of different physical properties into one uniform or consistent cross section. The most common of these extrusions is the combination of a rigid material, for strength, with a soft or flexible material, for function, into various one-piece profiles.What are the advantages of dual durometer rubber extrusions?
By joining two materials of different physical properties, structural integrity and flexible function can be combined into one part. For example, when a rubber gasket must be attached to a metal part to provide a closure seal, a dual durometer rubber extrusion combines both functions into one piece, which significantly reduces assembly costs while enhancing performance and function.
