Silicone rubber products – Diversified industrial applications

Silicone rubber manufacturers have diversified into engineering silicone solutions like moulding, extrusion, gaskets, sheeting, bellows, hoses, and inflatable seals. The advantage of silicone rubber products is its versatility to outperform in diverse areas, making it a favourite product in every industry. Silicone is a synthetic rubber product made from a chemical element called silicon. It comes with physical properties that organic rubber cannot compete with.

Key features of silicone rubber products

·         It can withstand extreme temperatures from -70 degrees C to 300 degrees C

·         It can stand the vagaries of weathering

·         It is an FDA-approved compound

·         It comes with good electrical insulation properties making it suitable for contact points of keyboards, sealing material for high voltage cables and anti-static components, and around heaters.

·         It has good rebound and recovery

·         It comes with mechanical damping properties

·         It is fire retardant for EN45545-2 grades

·         It is in the metal-detectable range

·         It repels water and hence is a sealant

·         It can be manufactured in various colors

·         It shows excellent thermal conductivity of 0.5 e+3 cal.cm.sec.C, making it suitable for making heat sink sheets and heating rollers.

·         It does not show good radioactive resistance when compared to organic rubber. For good radioactive resistance, methyl phenyl silicone rubbers with phenyl radical are incorporated into the polymer.

·         It has excellent oil-resistant properties at high temperatures. Moreover, its resistance to chemicals and solvents is excellent.

·         The compression set is between -60 degrees C and 250 degrees C. It requires post-cure for products with a low compression set.

·         It retains high tensile and tear strength of 30kgf/cm to 50kgf/cm.

RUBBER WASHER – GET TO KNOW ALL ABOUT IT

Image
Rubber in its various avatars, both natural and synthetic, is used for creating different components for industrial applications. Every rubber material comes with different characteristics. These characteristics determine the components that a particular rubber material can be used for. Rubbers and its various compounds are widely used for creating washers. Washers act as gaskets around bolts and are used in applications that involve high compression. Rubber washers are created from molded rubber. Although washers are made from metal too; however rubber washer ismore popular as compared to its metal counterpart. Rubber washer is more resistant to fluids and it does not rust like metals. Rubber washer is flexible and it is because of this reason that it is widely used in applications that require constant expansions and contractions. Rubber washer can stand the test of time even in very heavy duty applications.One of the main tasks of rubber washer is to prevent leakages by creating

Rubber bush manufacturer

Image
Rubber bushes are usually found to have cylinders bounded to their outer regions and their inner regions have rigid metal layering. Bushes are used for taking up radial or axial road and torsional movement. Bushes can also be utilized for regulating conical deflection. Bushes are made up of different materials and come in various sizes. Rubber bushes are usually made up of natural rubber (which is also called poly-isoprene) of varying grades and alternative synthetic rubber (elastomers). The bushes are usually pressed into any place or a loosely fitted assembly. A rubber bush manufacturer supplies simple, laminated, pivot, spherical, flanged, void, suspension, torque arm, conical, and equalizer bushes. The rubber bushes are manufactured through a specific process. Almost every rubber bush manufacturer adopts the following process for making rubber bushes. Preparing and collecting rubber compounds according to the individual requirements of each client. Gathering material

Rubber grommet manufacturer

Image
Rubber grommets are primarily utilized to protect hose pipes, wires, and other products that specifically pass through panel holes. These rubber grommets are also used as finishing components, vibration dampers, and spacers. These grommets are seen to easily pass through panel holes that are pre-drilled using appropriate tools. Any rubber grommet manufacturer would offer a wide range of standard and military rubber grommets. Several manufacturers can also provide customized rubber grommets to match the specifications and unique requirements of each client. The rubber grommets are made up of a variety of materials like silicon, EPDM, Buna – N, etc. The rubber grommet manufacturer should ensure that the grommets are manufactured as per the military guidelines. The grommets come in different sizes and with varying groove widths and inner and outer diameters. Rubber grommets are generally used to protect products from the sharp edges caused due to drilling holes. Rubber grommets are
