Transfer molding of rubber is a special type of rubber molding process in which you force uncured rubber into the mold through a small hole (called a gate). The transfer molding process is better than compression molding as the cycle time is shorter and it produces more consistent molded parts. Transfer molding is also useful in making rubber-to-metal bonded parts.

Depending on the application, you can use various transfer molded rubber materials, such as nitrile, viton, butyl rubber, neoprene and natural rubber. Transfer molded rubber products are useful in the manufacturing of a wide range of products, such as gaskets, seals, boots, bumpers, grommets, door seals and medical devices.

Some important parameters you must consider before purchasing rubber transfer molded parts are:

1. Application of transfer molded rubber products
2. Required dimensions of transfer molded rubber parts
3. Required quality of the rubber material
4. Operating environment of the transfer molded rubber products
