Dip Molded Parts
Kent Elastomer Products, Inc. (KEP) excels at finding solutions for difficult applications or meeting tough deadlines. By specializing in small to medium run batches of dip-molded parts, we offer our customers the ultimate flexibility when it comes to a wide choice in shapes, sizes, and wall thicknesses in both latex and non-latex compounds.
Thanks to KEP's experienced design personnel, start-up costs are minimized and product development cycles are shortened. Our low-cost prototype development is an added plus. KEP produces both latex and latex-free products for a variety of markets. Probe covers, bellows, surgical inflation devices, and Penrose drain tubes are just a sampling of what we provide the medical market. KEP's ability to dip a variety of compounds makes our capabilities the perfect solution for your dip molded product requirements.
Materials Available:
- Natural Latex
- Neoprene
- Synthetic Polyisoprene
Dimension Requirements:
- Part dimensions should be in the range of 1" to 24" in length and 1/4" to 12" in diameter.
- Part will have uniform wall thickness over the entire part.
- Parts can be no larger than 5 times the diameter of the open end. This permits stripping the part from the dipping form without undue stretching or damage. Parts cannot be solid.
- If you have an unusual shape or size, please contact us to see if we can accommodate your needs.
Form Guidelines:
- Forms should have rounded contours to allow material to flow during the dipping process.
- Sharp angles and/or flat surfaces parallel to the surface of the material should be avoided.
- Customers may provide forms or KEP will have forms made to customer specifications.
- Detailed dimensional drawings help insure accurate tooling of forms.
