How Our Rubber Bonding Works
At Walker Rubber, our rubber bonding service is built on over eight decades of experience. We use advanced adhesives and techniques to ensure every bond achieves maximum strength and durability to live up to the demands of your application.
Whether bonding rubber to metal, foam, or other rubbers, we adapt our manufacturing methods to suit your needs. This helps to ensure long-lasting adhesion between the materials and gives excellent resistance to environmental stresses.
Surface preparation
We clean and treat each material to ensure the optimal foundation for adhesion.
Apply adhesives
We apply high-performance bonding adhesives, chosen specifically for the rubber and substrate combination.
Apply heat & pressure
Using controlled heat and pressure, we then cure the assembly to form a uniform, reliable bond.
Custom Rubber Sleeves & Tube Sleeves
We specialise in the production of rubber sleeves, including thin rubber sleeves and rubber tube sleeves, tailored for a wide variety of industries. These sleeves are ideal for protecting shafts, providing flexible seals, or acting as vibration dampeners in machinery.
Each sleeve is manufactured to your exact dimensions and UK-sourced, premium rubber material suited to your application, such as EPDM, neoprene, nitrile, and silicone. Whether you require a thin rubber sleeve for lightweight mechanical applications or a reinforced rubber tube sleeve for high-pressure environments, we can supply a solution that meets your needs.
Our expert engineers will help you select the right compound, bonding method, and wall thickness to achieve the perfect balance of durability and flexibility.
