Diversity doesn’t change a thing

Those of you who have followed the recent messages of growth and diversity we’ve been proud to share since acquiring the breadth and vigour of Component Force in April, may be forgiven for thinking we may have stepped beyond core values. But you’d be wrong.

Diversity doesn’t and hasn’t changed a thing.

We are still your first and last point of contact for protective caps, plugs and sleeves.

Sinclair & Rush is, and has been for over 60 years, a global leader in dip, injection and extrusion moulding of plastic products and components. We have developed unrivalled expertise helping engineering companies across the broadest range of industries to improve the speed and efficiency to protect products, components and WIP throughout their invasive manufacturing and finishing processes, as well as onward protection in transit.



Whatever process is being employed to modify the mechanical properties of metal surfaces in the manufacturing process, effective masking is an essential part of the process. The requirements to mask surfaces, stop holes and blank off delicate internal elements of components during their manufacture, finishing and transportation all vary almost from one application to the next.

Powder and e-coating? Shot blasting? Shot Peening? Anodising?

Chemical, electrolytic, mid through to high temperature applications need expert masking to avoid contamination of sensitive elements within the component. EPDM caps and plugs for example, are chemical resistant in plating and anodising. Silicone rubber caps and plugs are ideal for plugging holes where the diameter can vary slightly and provide protection across a range of operating temperatures between -65˚c to +230˚c.
