Custom Natural Rubber Molding Solution
Zhongren specializes in custom-molded natural rubber components for dynamic sealing, vibration isolation, and cushioning applications. With decades of material experience and manufacturing knowledge, we deliver natural rubber parts that combine flexibility and excellent mechanical strength. Natural rubber molding offers a cost-effective solution with superior elasticity and wear resistance in dry and non-oily environments.
How Are Natural Rubber Parts Manufactured?
Depending on the application and part geometry, Zhongren applies different molding processes to produce high-quality natural rubber components.
- Natural Rubber Compression Molding
- Natural Rubber Injection Molding
- Natural Rubber Transfer Molding
Natural rubber molding requires precise pressure and cure time control to maintain the material’s elasticity and tensile strength. Good mold design and compound consistency are key to achieving repeatable results.

FAQ with Natural Rubber Molding
How Does Natural Rubber Compare to Synthetic Rubber?
Natural rubber provides better elasticity and fatigue resistance, while synthetic rubbers (like EPDM or NBR) offer better chemical, heat, and weather resistance.
Can Natural Rubber Be Used Outdoors?
Not ideal. Natural rubber degrades under sunlight and ozone unless specially compounded with protective additives.
How Long Does Natural Rubber Last?
In controlled indoor environments, natural rubber parts can last several years. However, exposure to UV, heat, or oil reduces lifespan.
