Rubber & EPDM Industry

Tree that grows in the tropics and yields a milky-white liquid, and the coagulated flexible pulp of this plague. Similar substances obtained from other plant species are also called rubber.

What is Natural Rubber?

Rubber Natural rubber is a hydrocarbon of milky consistency, which is leaked by scratching the bark of the rubber tree. The average molecular mass of this substance in terms of polyisoprene with the formula (C5 H8) is between 200,000 and 300,000. Depending on the production method, it has a colorless or yellowish translucent appearance.

Rubber Types and Properties

Silicone Rubber (MQ, VMQ, PVMQ)

It is used between -60° C and 200° C temperatures. It has an intermittent endurance capacity of up to 250°C. Its main areas of use are detergents. It has high flexibility, weather resistance and ozone diffusion. It is not recommended for use in fuels, oils with EP additives and high mechanical property requirements.

Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR)

Resistant and resistant to glycol-based brake oils, acids and bases, alcohol. This material is used between -50° C and 100° C. It is not resistant to fuels and gasoline-based oils and its use is not recommended.

Natural Rubber (NR)

The user temperature range is -60° C to 90° C. Its environmental protection feature shows similar properties with Styrene Butadiene (SBR). It can be used in areas and places with high efficiency and mechanical property requirements.
