Product Expertise
Harboro produce a very wide range of rubber mouldings for all sectors of industry and in all commercially available rubber materials. We also provide a full service in rubber bonded parts, including bonding to metals, plastics and ceramics.
All materials, sizes and quantities
Harboro work with all commercially available rubber polymers, from 1mm to 750mm in size (occasionally bigger). From 1 off prototypes, 100’s for capital goods or 1,000’s for industrial goods to millions for consumer and automotive goods and we export to over 30 countries worldwide.
Rubber bonding, co-moulding and over-moulding
We have a specialist rubber bonding facility and can bond rubber to metals, plastics, ceramics or other rubber materials. In fact we can bond to almost any material that can withstand the 180°C moulding process. We can also mould two different rubbers together where different properties, hardness or colours are required. We can overmould to other parts such as wire assemblies. Our innovative approach even allows us to overmould special elastomers with inserts that have low melt temperatures.
We are able to offer an assembly service where it is appropriate to do so.
Our factory is widely equipped
We have a wide range of moulding equipment suited to different sizes and quantities. We mould small parts (a few millimetres in size) up to very large parts (700mm across and up to 10kgs in weight) and manufacture both in small quantities (10’s and 100’s off) and in very large quantities (millions).
All our products are custom moulded to designs provided by, or developed with, our customers. We have extensive skills both in design and in manufacture and have our own in house rubber chemists, rubber engineers and development laboratory.
Materials we work with are wide ranging and include Natural Rubber, SBR, Neoprene (Polychloroprene), EPDM, Nitrile, Chlorosulphonated polyethylene (Hypalon®), Acrylic, Ethylene Acrylic (Vamac®), Epichlorohydrin, Butyl, Silicone, Hydrogenated Nitrile (Therban®), Flourocarbon (Viton®) and Fluorosilicone rubber. There are alternative names for many polymers, so don’t be confused if something is not listed that you are looking for – just ask!
Hypalon®, Vamac®, Viton® are registered trade marks of Du Pont Performance Elastomers.
Therban is a registered trade marks of LANXESS Corporation.
Achieving lowest costs
Our experience is extensive both in design and development but also in manufacture and quality. We work towards achieving the best possible package price while meeting all of the functional and quality requirements. This comes from careful design and selection of tooling, manufacturing processes and quality monitoring and control. We even have partners on the Far East when this will provide a lower cost option either through tooling or for less technical parts where cost is the predominant factor.
Our service in competitively priced mouldings is second to none.
