Rubber Washers
Thomas A. Caserta has manufactured rubber washers for many diverse and demanding industries for over 60 years. A rubber washer is a small flat rubber ring used on fasteners and in mechanical devices. Rubber washers are used to seal fluids, prevent leaks, dampen vibration and protect surfaces.There are many performance specifications that are important for rubber washers. Many different rubber materials can be used in the production of rubber washers to achieve the desired performance. Some of the common materials used are EPDM, Neoprene, Nitrile, SBR, Silicone, and Viton. Different materials are better suited to different applications depending on factors such as temperature resistance, fluid resistance, chemical resistance, ozone resistance, and abrasion resistance. Thus, it is important to choose the correct material for rubber washers to suit your application. Our engineers are always available for any technical assistance you may require.
We manufacture rubber washers to any size and material specification. We also custom manufacture rubber washers with special nibs on the I.D. (inside diameter) designed for automated screw assembly equipment.

Rubber Tubing and Cord
Thomas A. Caserta has been a leading extruder of rubber tubing and cord for many industries for over 60 years. Rubber tubing is an unreinforced flexible hose used to move liquids or gases. Rubber tubing is used in many industries for a wide variety of applications. Rubber tubing is commonly used in the aerospace, pharmaceutical, chemical, electrical, medical, and food processing industries. Rubber cord is a solid rubber tube that does not have a hole in the center. Rubber cord can be used to fabricate large custom o-rings or as a gap seal on machinery and other equipment.As with any rubber product, there are many performance specifications that are important for rubber tubing. Many different rubber materials can be used in the production of rubber tubing to achieve the desired performance. Some of the common materials used are EPDM, Neoprene, Nitrile, SBR, Silicone, and Viton. Different materials are better suited to different applications depending on factors such as temperature resistance, fluid resistance, chemical resistance, ozone resistance, and abrasion resistance. Thus, it is important to choose the correct material for rubber tubing to suit your application. Our engineers are always available for any technical assistance you may require.
Thomas A. Caserta, Inc. can extrude rubber tubing to any size and material specification. We can supply rubber tubing or cord on spools or coiled and boxed. We also can cut rubber tubing and rubber cord to length that can be used as rubber spacers, rubber standoffs, and rubber discs. We utilize state-of-the-art extrusion equipment to consistently produce the highest quality rubber tubing and rubber cord. /Asset/1350.jpg
Silicone Tubing
Silicone rubber tubing is a flexible unreinforced rubber hose that is widely used in the medical industry.
