The Process of Making Custom Rubber Products

Custom rubber products are used in different spheres of life both at home and industries. In industry it is an essential product that is used for sealing, gaskets, hoses, tires and electrical insulation. This rubber can be naturally derived or can be synthetic. The rubber is a single name given to a set of polymer. These polymers are compound called elastomers that are widely popular in industry because of its innate characteristic to stretch out and return to its original shape. It is because of its elasticity that rubber is preferred over other metals and plastic in heavy industries. When under pressure rubber expands itself and then contract back to its original shape upon cooling down without any deformation.

Sometimes custom rubber products are made from natural made rubber also. Natural rubber which is more popularly called Indian rubber is derived from the latex of a Hevea tree which is found in tropical regions of America is a milky sap. This rubber is then processed, vulcanized, pigmented and finished to from different rubber products. For heavy industrial use custom rubber products is derived from synthetic methods. Synthetic rubber is a plastic compound that looks white crumbly in color and is processed and vulcanized like natural rubber. Mostly synthetic rubber is processed out of polycondensation or polymerization of unsaturated monomers.

Custom rubber products for industries use different types of rubber products like Polybutadiene rubber (BR), Styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), Isoprene rubber (IR), Ethylene Propylene (EPDM), Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), Chloroprene rubber (CR), Fluorocarbon (FKM), Butyl rubber (IIR). These rubber types are obtained by blending different types of compounds and there is no fix way of formulating it. This concoction is then used is manufacturing different types of rubber products in heavy industries and are used in spectrum of application. They are more reliable than natural rubber products and other materials because of its common properties like fluid resistance, friction coefficient, conductivity, dynamic properties and permeation and so on.
