Rubber parts hold up in harsh engine environments and assist in compliance with emissions regulations. To help maintain the performance of your automotive systems, we provide insulators and protectors, made from rubber for systems such as:
- HVAC
- Duct systems
Brake, Steering & Axle
Components of braking, steering, and axle systems require materials that can withstand extreme operating temperatures and frictional heat. For adequate protection from these and other factors, we carry rubber parts for:
- Pedal pads
- Brake cable insulators
- Brake cable grommets
Noise & Vibration Control

Why Choose UP&R’s Automotive Rubber Products
(Click to Expand)
Universal Polymer & Rubber is a premier automotive gasket manufacturer and supplier of automotive rubber parts. We were among the early adopters of non-conductive rubber now used in many modern vehicles, demonstrating our commitment to developing innovative solutions for our customers. The advantages of working with UP&R include:
Advanced Technology
Today’s automotive designs rely on more electronics as they transition from traditional mechanical components to digital solutions. One of the most significant innovations in the industry has been the increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), which has led to the increased demand for non-conductive rubber to insulate wiring and cables. This demand is in addition to the non-conductive rubber already used to insulate and protect electrical components in internal combustion vehicles.
Non-conductive rubber offers a cost-effective solution for manufacturers because it resists breakage and provides valuable protection for other critical system components. Numerous vehicle parts rely on non-conductive rubber for insulation, from heated seats and digital display screens to automated windows and mirrors.
Noise Elimination
Squeaks and rattles commonly plague automotive engineers, and designers search extensively for solutions to eliminate these problems. Our rubber products prevent unwanted noise from fluid transfer components and other vehicle systems.
IATF Certified
Any business working with the automotive sector should demand IATF certification to guarantee product quality. Currently, only a small percentage of manufacturing companies worldwide are IATF-certified, as it’s one of the most challenging to obtain. Every part produced at UP&R meets IATF 16949 industry standards for defect prevention, continued improvement, and waste minimization along the supply chain.
