Custom Molded Rubber Parts

Precision-Engineered, Application-Driven Elastomer Components Manufactured In-House

At Eutsler Technical Products, we specialize in custom-molded elastomer components that deliver precision, durability, and performance in the world’s most demanding service environments.

Our vertically integrated approach—from compound formulation and mold design to precision molding, post-cure, and QA validation—ensures complete control over every variable that affects elastomer behavior.

Whether you need complex geometries, multi-material assemblies, or tight-tolerance sealing components, Eutsler’s molded elastomer solutions provide repeatable quality and superior performance across temperature, pressure, and chemical extremes.

Comprehensive Molding Capabilities

Compression Molding

  • Ideal for large, high-durometer parts and thick cross-sections
  • Delivers uniform cure and minimal voiding in solid elastomer blocks
  • Suitable for gaskets, bushings, packer elements, and large isolators

Transfer Molding

  • Supports intricate shapes, insert molding, and tight dimensional control
  • Excellent for bonded assemblies (rubber-to-metal, rubber-to-fabric)
  • Reduces flash and provides smooth part surfaces for sealing applications

Injection Molding

  • High-volume efficiency with tight process control
  • Ideal for small, precision-engineered parts requiring consistency and repeatability
  • Closed-loop temperature and pressure control ensures stable curing

Multi-Component & Bonded Molding

  • Rubber-to-metaland rubber-to-plastic bonding using advanced primer/tie systems
  • Co-curing and hybrid molding for integrated functional assemblies
  • Mechanical interlocks, undercuts, or over-molded inserts engineered for stress control

Material Engineering Excellence

Eutsler molds elastomers across a full range of base polymers, each selected and compounded to match your application’s chemical, mechanical, and environmental needs.
