Solution: Import substitution

Replace imported rubber components with parts made in India

If a rubber part in your product is imported, Exonel can make it here. Send the part, its drawing or both. We measure the geometry, identify the material, cut the tooling and produce it in Howrah, with a shorter supply chain and one point of contact.

How it works

Evaluate, match, make.

Send the part

The imported component, a drawing if you have one, and where it fits.

We measure it

Geometry, hardness and section, with an allowance for wear if the sample is used.

We match the material

Polymer and hardness are identified and a compound is proposed for your confirmation.

We tool it

Mould or die made in-house for the part.

Prototype first

You approve samples before production.

Same tooling, production volumes

The tooling that made the prototype makes the production run.

Sending an enquiry

What to send

The imported part or a sample, any drawing or datasheet, the fluid and temperature it sees, and the annual quantity.

How we respond

What we will tell you plainly

If a part cannot be matched in our six base polymers, we say so. If it can, we tell you what the compound will be before you commit.

FAQ

Common questions

Can you match an imported rubber part exactly?
We match the geometry and select an equivalent compound from our six base polymers. You approve samples before production.
Do I need a drawing?
No. A sample is enough to start. We draw it up.
Which parts can be substituted?
Gaskets, seals, O-rings, grommets, washers, bushes, mounts, profiles, tubing and bespoke mouldings.
Is the material the same as the original?
We identify the polymer and hardness and propose a compound. Where the original is a proprietary grade, we tell you what we can offer and you confirm.

Have an imported part to replace?
