Rubber

EMCO Industrial carries a substantial inventory of rubber and polymer materials used in endless sealing, gasketing, & cushioning applications. With over 50 materials and grades available, end products can be custom tailored to the most critical specifications. Our rubber sheets, strips, rolls, tubes, and cords are available in lengths of up to 150 feet, with sheet thicknesses from 0.005” to 2”. Further expanding our offering is the wide variance in durometer that we offer. EMCO offers rubber in durometers, a measure of hardness, from as soft as 10A up to 90A. All materials are offered with pre-applied adhesive, and can be cut to any custom size or shape with superb accuracy and tight tolerances.
Below is a full listing of our rubber material offering, as well as all specialty grades, sizes, and common applications for each of the respective polymers.
