Solutions we provide
Four solution families. Sixteen ways to make your part.
SYNC runs the full range of elastomer and plastics processes, so the recommendation you get is the right one for your part rather than the only one we can run.
Thermoset, thermoplastic, silicone
Molding Solutions
Thermoset, thermoplastic and silicone molding under one roof, from micro LSR components to 46 x 46 inch compression tools.
Full detailThermoset Molding
Cured elastomer parts with the thermal and chemical resistance that thermoplastics cannot reach.
Thermoplastic Injection Molding
High-repeatability plastic components, insert molding and overmolding, tooled and run at our Glendora plant.
Transfer Molding
The right process for bonded inserts and tight-tolerance features on medium-volume elastomer parts.
Compression Molding 8x8 to 46x46
Large-format capacity up to 46 x 46 inches for oversized seals, pads and utility components.
Silicone Compression Molding
Temperature-stable silicone parts for aerospace, medical and utility service.
LSR Molding
Liquid silicone rubber for fine features, high volumes and clean, flash-minimal parts.
Rubber Molding
Custom rubber components molded from compounds we mix ourselves to your application's requirements.
Dip Molding
Latex dip molding and engineered elastomer components from our Canton, Ohio plant, with in-house latex compounding, custom mold development and isostatic press bags.
Precision converting
Cutting Solutions
Kiss cutting and die cutting for gaskets, shims, insulators and adhesive-backed parts.
Full detailKiss Cutting
Cuts the part without cutting the liner, for adhesive-backed gaskets, insulators and pads that ship ready to apply.
Die Cutting
Through-cut sheet parts in rubber, foam, film and composite stack-ups, from prototype quantities to production runs.
Materials engineered in house
Compounding & Bonding Solutions
Custom rubber compounding, rubber-to-metal bonding, and new and refurbished rubber rollers.
Full detailRubber Compounding
In-house mixing and formulation development, including custom compounds for temperature, chemical and dielectric requirements.
Rubber to Metal Bonding
Bonded assemblies for mounts, isolators and sealing hardware, with surface preparation and adhesion testing in process.
New Rubber Rollers
Covered rollers built to your core, durometer, crown and finish specification.
Refurbish Rubber Rollers
Strip, recover, grind and balance existing cores to return equipment to service at a fraction of replacement cost.
Where programs get unstuck
Additional Solutions
PFAS-free material alternatives and scan-to-part modeling for legacy and obsolete components.
Full detailPFAS-Free Alternatives
Qualified replacement compounds for fluorinated materials facing regulatory restriction, tested against your original spec.
Scan-to-Part Model
3D scanning of legacy or obsolete components into a manufacturable CAD model and new tooling, with no original drawing required.
Choosing a process
Not sure which process your part needs?
That is the question we get most, and it is the one worth getting right. Molding, cutting and bonding each win on different geometry, volume and tolerance combinations.
Flat geometry, moderate volume?
Die or kiss cutting tools faster and costs less per piece than a mold.
Cutting solutionsComplex 3D form or tight tolerance?
Compression, transfer or injection molding, chosen by volume and material.
Molding solutionsMetal substrate or specialty material?
Rubber-to-metal bonding with a compound developed for the duty cycle.

Include your drawing, target volume and service conditions. Our engineers will tell you the most economical way to make the part — even when that means a different process than you asked for.
