Rubber Material Selection
Rubber material selection involves balancing all your application’s requirements. Part designers and product engineers need compounds that meet sealing and insulation requirements, but that are also cost-effective. Otherwise, choosing the wrong material can cause part failures or cost overruns. The Rubber Group has developed custom compounds and stocks many commercial-grade elastomers. The materials we work with include:- Solid elastomers
- Sponge rubber
- Foam rubber
- EMI/RFI shielding
- Felt and fabric
- Mylar and plastics
- Adhesives
