Achieving Excellence with ELBEX: The Significance of ISO Certification in Rubber Extrusion
March 19, 2024
At Elbex, we are committed to maintaining a high standard of quality with our rubber extrusions. As part of this, we are proud to have obtained ISO 9001:2015 without Design certification as a signifier of our team consistently meeting quality standards. Here’s what this means for you.
ELBEX’s Journey to ISO Certification
ELBEX obtained its ISO certification in 2010, and has held it continuously since then. To achieve this certification, ELBEX had to demonstrate to a certification body that our work complied with ISO standards. During the assessment process, we had to show that we had sufficient quality management systems in place, while also striving for continuous improvement.
Benefits of ISO Certification for ELBEX Clients
Thanks to our ISO certification, you can have confidence that you’ll get consistent quality, reliability, and safety from our rubber extrusions. Adhering to ISO standards ensures that our products will always live up to expectations, so you can have confidence when placing an order for a standard or custom extrusion.
ISO Standards and Rubber Extrusion Excellence
The ISO certification that ELBEX holds — ISO 9001 — is considered a global quality management standard. It means that we have effective quality management processes in place to ensure great results with our products. This standard also covers process improvements and ongoing optimization, meaning we must continually look for ways to become more efficient, reduce waste, and find other ways to improve quality.
ELBEX’s Commitment to Ongoing Excellence
ISO certification isn’t held permanently — it must be periodically renewed. At ELBEX, we are dedicated to maintaining and exceeding ISO standards so we can deliver great results for our customers, while also finding new innovations that help us become even more effective in our work.
With ISO certification, you can have confidence in ELBEX’s capabilities to ensure quality in the rubber extrusion industry. We are committed to upholding the highest standards for every project — including yours.
Reliable water control systems are critical for public health, environmental protection, and industrial efficiency. These systems must be protected against leaks, contamination, and damage – and rubber water barriers and gaskets for drinking water systems play a vital role in achieving these outcomes. At Elbex, we produce the custom rubber extrusions that the water control industry needs to achieve these important outcomes, including specialized silicone seals and gaskets. Elbex’s Expertise in Water Control Solutions Our expertise in water solutions starts with our understanding of different rubber compounds, such as silicone and nitrile, as well as how these and other materials are suitable for potable water, wastewater, or irrigation. Materials must be safe for transporting drinking water, resistant to chemicals and microbial growth, and able to withstand varying water pressures and temperatures. We combine this material knowledge with custom design and precision manufacturing capabilities. Our engineers can create custom rubber extrusions to fit specific water control systems and equipment, and then use state-of-the-art manufacturing to ensure consistent quality and performance that will improve the reliability and longevity of your water control solutions. Benefits of Elbex’s Custom Rubber Parts for Water Control Custom rubber parts for water control deliver a much higher level of performance than standard parts. Custom seals and gaskets create powerful water barriers that prevent leaks for more sustainable water management. These same solutions also maintain water quality by preventing contaminant exposure, which ensures the safety of drinking water systems. Better yet, custom rubber parts offer more versatile and adaptable solutions. Rubber extrusions can be configured for pipes, valves, pumps, filtration systems, and irrigation equipment, aiding in a wide variety of water control needs. And with a custom fit, you can have confidence that the parts will offer greater durability and longevity, reducing the downtime and costs associated with repairs and replacements. Applications in the Water Control Industry Rubber gaskets and seals have several applications in the water control industry. Some of the most noteworthy include the use of gaskets for drinking water systems, which ensure safe and reliable delivery of potable water. Seals and gaskets also help prevent leaks and contamination in water treatment facilities, and enable efficient filtration, water use, and pollution control in industrial facilities. With Elbex’s high-quality custom rubber solutions, you can have confidence that your water control systems will provide safe and reliable performance. Whether you are a water industry professional or part of a municipality looking to improve water control performance, you can count on our rubber solutions to help you achieve your water management goals.

Construction is one of the most demanding industries on the planet – and this work frequently requires high-quality rubber components such as gaskets, pipe seals and ramps, and silicone sheeting. At Elbex, our expertise in producing essential components such as expansion joints, custom rubber extruded D-seals, and U-channels enables us to provide the reliable sealing, weatherproofing, and protection that are required for successful construction outcomes. Elbex’s Expertise in Construction-Focused Rubber Extrusions At Elbex, our decades of industry expertise make us well-suited for producing construction-focused rubber extrusions. This starts with a deep understanding of rubber compounds and their suitability for different construction applications, including our accounting for hazards like UV exposure, extreme temperatures, moisture, and harsh chemicals. We combine this knowledge with expertise in custom engineering to create rubber extrusions that meet the unique needs of your construction application. We believe in a collaborative approach between our engineers and your team to ensure the perfect fit. Once the design has been finalized, we then utilize our state-of-the-art manufacturing processes to ensure tight tolerances, consistent quality, and superior performance for custom rubber extruded D-seals, U-channel profiles, and other rubber extrusions. Benefits of Elbex’s Rubber Extrusions in Construction Rubber seals and gaskets offer several important benefits in construction work. For example, custom seals and gaskets stop water and air infiltration, preventing damage and improving overall energy efficiency. Custom rubber solutions further enhance the comfort of an indoor environment thanks to their noise and vibration dampening capabilities. Our expansion joints are especially beneficial in construction settings. Expansion joints accommodate temperature-related movement in structures, preventing cracks and structural damage. This protects the building from environmental degradation over time, increasing its safety and longevity. Applications in Construction Rubber gaskets and seals are used in a wide range of construction applications. For example, custom rubber extruded D-seals and U-channels prevent drafts, water leaks, and energy loss in doors and windows. Silicone sheeting in construction helps waterproof and seal roofs, while gaskets and seals can also help waterproof building facades. Finally, pipe seals and ramps offer much-needed protection for pipes and cables during and after construction work. Performance, durability, and safety are all top priorities on construction projects. At Elbex, we are committed to providing high-quality, custom-designed rubber extrusions that help you achieve exactly that.
