BENEFITS OF RUBBER
Rubber has found itself used in many industrial applications because it provides and
maintains elastic properties across a wide range of temperatures. Engineers and designers
choose rubber because of its wide range of properties, available
in such a varied source of manufacturing processes, including sheeting, die or machine
cut shapes/gaskets, moulded
components, and extruded lengths - which can be joined to form endless rings or
shapes.
Some of the propertiesinclude
- Temperatures ranging from -60oC to +300oC
- Wide range of colours
- Wide range of hardness
- Resistance to extremes of weather and outdoor environments indefinitely
- Electrically insulating, conductive or anti-static
- Resistance to fuels, oils and chemicals while retaining its properties
- Flame retardent and self extinguishing types
- Maintain tension and compression forces as in seals - even in hostile environmentss
- Accommodates movement, shock, therma changes, tolerance and rough surfaces
- Absorbs vibration, noise and can insulate
- Gas and fluid seal capability With a low thermal conductivity it can reduce heat transfer
- With conductive fillers it can aid heat transfer
- It has friction properties and is comfortable to grip
- The surface can be smooth and clean to assist
- It can be used in direct contact with foodstuffs
when processed appropriately - It can be bonded effectively to metals, plastics,
- engineering materials and other substrates
- It can be inflated and pressurised
Whilst no single material has all the desired properties,
indeed some properties may only exist in one type of
rubber, by understanding the application involved, the
desired properties can often be achieved with careful
selection and suitable compounding.
