Custom Rubber Extrusions for Military and Defense Equipment
We manufacture custom rubber and silicone extrusions engineered to perform in the most demanding military and defense environments. With more than 60 years of experience and Mil-Spec compliant manufacturing, Kismet Rubber Products helps defense contractors and their suppliers shorten lead times and reduce supply chain complexity with a single-source solution.
Extruded Rubber Products for Military and Defense Equipment
Kismet manufactures components built to withstand extreme temperature swings and harsh field conditions, meeting applicable ASTM, United States Military, and client specifications. Products we manufacture for military and defense equipment include:
- Door seals
- Hatch cover gaskets
- Silo hatch seals
- Watertight seals for aircraft, ground vehicles, and marine and medical equipment
Materials for Military and Defense Rubber Extrusions
Selecting the right elastomer is critical for equipment that has to perform in extreme conditions without failure. We manufacture custom extrusions using:
- Silicone — for stability across extreme high and low temperatures
- EPDM — for resistance to ozone, UV, and weathering during long field deployments
- Chloroprene/Neoprene — for weathering resistance and flame retardancy in seals and hatch gaskets
- Fluoroelastomer — for resistance to fuel, hydraulic fluid, and chemical exposure
Custom Extrusion Capabilities for Defense Contractors
Off-the-shelf extrusions rarely meet the precise tolerances defense equipment requires. We offer custom rubber and silicone extrusion supported by a range of curing methods, design assistance, and color matching to meet your specifications. Once extruded, parts can be finished with value-added services like slitting, notching, and hole punching, or assembled with metal-to-rubber or plastic-to-rubber bonding.
