Rubber Material
Rubber material is a kind of high-elastic polymer material, which is divided into two categories: natural rubber (NR) and synthetic rubber. Its unique molecular structure gives it excellent resilience, wear resistance and cushioning performance. At the same time, it can achieve oil resistance, high temperature resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and other properties through formula design.
PU
PU (Polyurethane) is a high-performance polymer material combining the elasticity of rubber and the strength of plastic. It features wear resistance, oil resistance, and low-temperature tolerance, making it widely used in footwear, automotive, furniture, and other industries.

FAQ Of Rubber Material
Visit our FAQ center for more questions.
How to choose the right rubber material for seals?
-
Environment: Temperature range (e.g., VMQ for -60°C~250°C), exposure to oils/chemicals (FKM for fuel resistance).
-
Mechanical Needs: Dynamic seals require high elasticity (NR), static seals need compression set resistance (EPDM).
-
Cost: NR for general use; specialty rubbers (FKM) for extreme conditions.
Why does rubber material degrade over time?
-
Ozone/UV Exposure: Causes surface cracking (mitigated by adding antioxidants in EPDM).
-
Heat Aging: Hardens rubber (silicone VMQ resists up to 250°C).
-
Chemical Attack: Swelling in oils (NBR withstands mild petroleum fluids).
Proper material selection and compounding significantly extend service life.
How to address cracking/deformation in general plastics products?
-
Material selection issues → Re-select materials based on usage environment (e.g., cold-resistant PP for low-temperature use)
-
Process defects → Optimize parameters like injection temperature and holding pressure time
-
Stress concentration → Improve product design (e.g., adding rounded transitions)
