Liquid Material Handling
Disassembling equipment in the field to fix a leak is costly and eliminates whatever advantage you once had. We take the time to work with your engineers to design quality and reliability into the system from the beginning using quality inserts, quality elastomers, quality adhesives, and quality control. We produce diaphragms, flap, surge and butterfly valves, O-rings, gaskets, and tank liners. These products perform in a diverse range of liquid materials, from solvents, oils and potable water to solids and abrasive materials.
Custom Industrial Components
There are no unimportant parts in an assembly. That's why we spend hours with your engineering people making sure we understand to total application of your product or system. Whether it's a track pad for a tank, a vacuum cup for an auto fender or sheet of plate glass, some of America's biggest industrial manufacturers rely on RDI to create products that give them a distinct competitive advantage over their competitors.

Defense
We realize that doing work for the government is not just another kind of commercial job. We cut our teeth on the prototypes for the Bradley Fighting Vehicle for EMC and moved on to missile systems, ship board computers, communication systems, naval fire fighting systems, and the space station. When it comes to defense we can't settle for anything less than an "unfair competitive advantage".

Electronics
We have learned from you that quality, innovation and quick market response are critical to new product introduction. Being there first with a quality product allows you to set the standard. We have provided some of the industry's leading companies with elastomeric solutions including vibration, shock and noise reduction using synthetic and highly damped viscoelastic materials, ultra light weight digital tape capstans, crash stops, elastomeric spring covers molded to a controlled actuation force and custom compounds with minimal outgassing characteristics.

Inventions
Have you ever had a great idea and tried to get someone to listen? We know how frustrating that can be. We have listened to some great ideas and then helped turn those ideas into reality. How about an idea for a training fin for world class swimmers, a neck protector and cushion for beauty shops, a splicing cap for underwater electrical connections, weight slip covers for free weights, or a street hockey puck that doesn't roll on its edge or easily become airborne? Got an idea? Give us a call.

Industrial Rollers
If you have printers, copiers, tape backups, marking machines, or processing equipment of any kind we'll keep things moving for you. When one of our customers told us he was shutting down a million dollar laser printer to constantly replace a two dollar roller, we responded with a high temperature elastomer which reduced wear and cut down time dramatically. We vertically molded a 15" roller for a graphic arts distributor to an O.D. tolerance of +/- .005" and a TIR of .003" with an eight micron finish and of course no parting line.
