Rubber to Metal Bonding

DKL is pleased to carry out top quality rubber to metal bonding procedures – usually by transfer moulding – to create products for customers in a wide range of industries.

Our highly skilled and experienced team degreases metal surfaces that are to be bonded to before shot blasting and painting them with suitable bonding agents. Once this process has been completed the metals are placed into the cavity mould and the rubber is placed into the transfer pot ready to be injected into the cavity. The parts are then cured, removed and cooled down.

Please visit our website or call our friendly team at DKL to find out more about our rubber to metal bonding services.

Rubber Molding/ Transfer Moulding

Our team carries out transfer moulding processes in order to create a range of top quality rubber products of consistent quality in small or large quantities.

Before the moulding takes place, the amount of material is measured and inserted into the chamber (pot) and a plunger is used to force the material from the pot through channels into mould cavities which remain closed while the material is inserted. The mould walls are then heated to a temperature above melting point to create a faster flow of material through the cavities.

To find out more about the transfer moulding process or to discuss your requirements, please contact us at DKL and we will be happy to help.

Compression Moulding

We are pleased to provide first class compression moulding services. The method of compression moulding is used to create a range of complex, high-strength objects quickly and efficiently.

The process of rubber moulding features the placement of the moulding material (usually pellets or sheets) in an open, heated mould cavity. The mould is closed with a top plug and pressure is applied to force the materials into contact with the mould areas. Heat and pressure are maintained in order to cure before removing and cooling down.
