When standard rubber profiles fall short, RW Connection delivers custom rubber extrusion solutions engineered around your application—not the other way around. From sealing and insulating to shielding and edge protection, we produce precision extrusions designed to fit, perform, and last in real-world operating conditions.
Every project starts with understanding how the part will be used. Our team works closely with you to select the right profile, material, and tolerances to ensure consistent performance from prototype through production.
The Challenge: One-Size-Fits-All Rubber Profiles
Off-the-shelf rubber shapes rarely meet the demands of specialized equipment or tight installation spaces. That’s where custom extrusions come in. RW Connection designs and supplies rubber profiles tailored to your geometry, environment, and performance requirements.
We support a wide range of custom profiles, including:
- U-channels and edge trim
- Tubing and cord stock
- Weatherstrip and sealing profiles
- Custom gaskets and specialty shapes
Material options are selected based on your operating conditions, such as:
- Silicone for high or low temperature extremes
- EPDM for outdoor and weather-resistant applications
- Neoprene for flexible, general-purpose sealing
- Viton® for chemical and fluid resistance
From initial concept to final production, our team helps ensure the extrusion fits correctly and performs as intended.
Ideal Applications for Custom Rubber Extrusions
Custom extruded rubber profiles are commonly used in:
- Sealing and gasketing for industrial equipment, automotive, and aerospace applications
- Protective trim for doors, panels, cabinets, and enclosures
- Access panels and industrial housings
- OEM designs where standard profiles won’t fit or perform adequately

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What materials can RW Connection extrude?
We work with a wide range of elastomers, including Silicone, EPDM, Neoprene, Viton®, Santoprene®, Nitrile, and additional specialty compounds. Our team helps determine the best material for your application.
Q: Do you support small production runs or prototypes?
Yes. RW Connection supports prototypes, low-volume runs, and full production quantities to accommodate project needs at any stage.
Q: What are typical lead times for custom rubber extrusions?
Lead times vary depending on tooling, material, and profile complexity. We focus on flexible scheduling and quick turnaround whenever possible.
Q: What do I need to start a custom extrusion project?
A drawing, CAD file, or sample part is helpful—but even a simple sketch is enough to get the process started. Our team will guide you through the rest.
