The Right Rubber for the Right Application
We work with a range of elastomers and rubber compounds selected according to temperature, mechanical load, contact media and the performance requirements of the final component.
Material Selection Starts with Real Operating Conditions
There is no single rubber material suitable for every application. Selection depends on temperature, contact with oils, fuels, water or chemicals, weather exposure, deformation and mechanical load.
The elastomer and specific compound should therefore be treated as an integral part of the engineering solution for the component.
Main Elastomers and Their Applications
We work with different elastomer systems depending on the operating environment, temperature, mechanical loads and the performance requirements of the finished component.
Weathering, Water and Ozone
A suitable choice for applications exposed to weathering, water, steam, ozone and ageing.
seals, sleeves, profiles and outdoor technical rubber components.
Oils and Fuels
Widely used for components operating in contact with mineral oils, lubricants and fuels.
seals, O-rings, diaphragms and technical rubber components.
Mechanical Durability and General Applications
A versatile and economical choice for many technical rubber components where high resistance to oils is not required.
buffers, pads, seals and general industrial rubber components.
Temperature and Long-Term Elasticity
Suitable for applications where elasticity over a broad temperature range and material stability are important.
seals, diaphragms, technical components and heat-resistant rubber parts.
Oils, Temperature and Mechanical Loads
Suitable for more demanding applications combining exposure to oils, elevated temperatures and mechanical loading.
automotive, industrial and high-load sealing systems.
Chemicals, Oils and High Temperatures
Used in demanding operating conditions, including exposure to aggressive media, oils and elevated temperatures.
seals, valves and components for chemical and industrial environments.
We Do Not Select a Material by Polymer Name Alone
Two compounds based on the same elastomer can perform differently depending on formulation, hardness, curing system and the specific operating requirements of the component.
• operating temperature
• oils, fuels, water and chemicals
• weathering and ozone exposure
• hardness and required deformation
• pressure, vibration and mechanical load
• component geometry and manufacturing process
• expected service life
