Rubber extrusion distinguishes itself from molded rubber manufacturing by its unique process. Unlike molding, rubber extrusion involves forcing rubber through a die with the desired cross-section under pressure. Typically, this process uses soft, unvulcanized rubber compounds fed into an extruder. The extrusion process leaves the rubber in a pliable state, necessitating vulcanization (hardening) to create durable, usable products.
