Material family
Chloroprene rubber
A Himtrade rubber line. This is a polymer material; grade selection depends on processing and finished-part testing.
Role in the system: Elastomer base for a rubber compound.
Selection on request
RAW MATERIALS FOR INDUSTRY
Rubber products
Rubber and cure-system selection around media, deformation and processing. Properties are verified on compound and part.
Technical challenges
- Select the elastomer for the service media
- Define mixing, forming and curing
- Test aging and compression set
What to include in your brief
- Service fluids, temperature and environmental exposure
- Hardness, strength and deformation requirements
- Equipment, cycle and existing formulation
