Some of the Rubber Compounds We Offer:
Neoprene: A versatile synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to oil, heat, and weathering. Neoprene, also known as Chloroprene, is commonly used in gaskets, hoses, seals, and electrical insulation.
Silicone: Widely recognized for its exceptional temperature resistance and flexibility, silicone rubber is used in applications where high heat or extreme cold are present. It is also known for its excellent electrical insulation properties.
Pure Gum Rubber: Made from natural rubber (latex), pure gum rubber offers superb elasticity, tear resistance, and tensile strength. It excels in applications requiring superior abrasion resistance and is often used in conveyor belts, chute linings, and gaskets.
Cloth and Wire-inserted Rubber: Combining the strength and durability of fabric or wire reinforcement with the resilience of rubber, this rubber material is great for applications involving heavy loads and impact.
Cork and Rubber: This composite material blends the compressibility and chemical resistance of cork with the durability and flexibility of rubber. It is commonly used in gaskets, vibration pads, and flooring applications.
Hypalon: Known for its exceptional resistance to chemicals, oils, UV radiation, and extreme temperatures, Hypalon is highly valued in the manufacturing of weather-resistant hoses, seals, and roofing membranes.
Buna-N (Nitrile): Highly resistant to oils, fuels, and solvents, Buna-N is a popular choice for sealing applications where exposure to petroleum-based products is common. It is commonly used in O-rings, hoses, and gaskets.
SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber): A versatile synthetic rubber known for its excellent abrasion resistance and durability. This compound is commonly used in the production of tires, conveyor belts, and footwear.
Teflon (PTFE): Renowned for its exceptional chemical resistance and low coefficient of friction, Teflon is widely used in applications where non-stick properties and resistance to high temperatures are required. It is commonly used in sealing applications and as a lining material.
Viton (FKM): Known for its outstanding resistance to heat, chemicals, oils, and fuels, Viton is ideal for applications involving harsh environments. It is commonly used in seals, gaskets, and O-rings in the automotive, aerospace, and chemical industries.
