About Elastomer Technologies

What We Do

At ETI, we provide our customers with the following services.

Compression Molding

Compression molding is highly accessible, creating high quality pieces at affordable costs. This method is ideal for customers who are just getting started with molding – or for customers with parts that simply benefit from this process – and it is ideal for small and large volume runs. Compression molding is also highly versatile, and works very well for applications that require special materials.

Die Cutting

This method is highly affordable and versatile. It utilizes a die and press to shape a range of different materials, from wood and metal to foam, paper, and plastics. At ETI, we offer the following types of die cutting:

• Traditional Die Cutting: An affordable method that utilizes a custom die designed to the unique specifications of the desired part.
• High-Speed Die Cutting: Ideal for producing high volumes of parts at very low costs, as the process is often able to be automated.
• High-Speed Converting: Ideal for projects requiring a large number of parts or where tighter dimensional tolerance is required.

Liquid Injection Molding

Through the use of liquid silicone rubber, liquid injection molding is able to create large quantities of highly consistent parts without a significant amount of labor. As such, this method is very cost-effective. It is also versatile, offering many industries a method of production that is rapid and reliable.  It is possible to fully automate this process.

Pre-Production Prototype Molding

Prototyping provides essential information to designers, engineers, marketing groups, and manufacturers.  As materials and tooling escalate in price it becomes more important to qualify part designs, while ETI does not provide rapid prototyping services we do offer prototyping for molded parts that can be useful in qualifying materials or processes prior to making large capital investments in production tooling.  Our prototype molding capabilities utilize a Project Forecaster analysis tool, which makes it possible for our team to put together a solution that suits the timeline and budget of the customer.

Rubber Molding

Rubber molding utilizes a customized aluminum or steel mold, which manufacturers will fill with the raw material of the customer’s choice. Rubber molding is an umbrella term that can encompass processes such as injection molding, compression molding, and transfer molding. As there is a wide range of rubber options available, customers can select the material with the properties that will best suit the intended application.

Transfer Molding

By streamlining the manufacturing process, it is possible to save a significant amount of time and money, ultimately reducing project costs without sacrificing quality. Transfer molding is an excellent way to improve a product’s quality, and it can reduce cost by eliminating additional labor and can serve both low and higher number requirements for parts.

Who We Serve

Our expansive range of capabilities enables us to serve a diverse array of industries, including the following.

Medical & Dental

                 ISO 13485 Certificate

Parts designed for use in these industries are very sophisticated and must meet incredibly tight tolerances. Our prototyping services are ideal for ensuring that each part is functional and error-free, as consistency and reliability can be the difference between life and death in the medical industry. Products we create for medical and dental clients include:

• Diaphragms
• Respirator masks
• Dialysis equipment
• Grommets 

Elastomer Technologies is ISO 13485 certified.

Food & Beverage

The food and beverage industry is subject to stringent regulations regarding hygiene and sterility. We offer an array of materials that are very popular within this industry, including nitrile rubber, butyl, and silicone. Products we can manufacture for the food and beverage industry include:

• Mechanical parts
• One-way valves
• Low-creep industrial gaskets

Consumer Products

The consumer products industry is highly versatile, benefiting greatly from the high volume capabilities of injection molding. We can produce products such as:

• Grips
• Feet
• Gaskets
