Main materials used:
- NR (Natural Rubber): Particularly suitable for products requiring high elasticity, elongation and compression features, as well as an excellent resistance to abrasion. Best application temperature (-45/+90°C)
- SBR (Styrene Butadiene): Its properties are similar to those of natural rubber, in fact it is often used in combination to natural rubber. It is used for most rubber products that do not operate in particularly severe conditions.
Best application temperature (-40/+90°C)
- EPDM (Ethylene-Propylene): The ideal product for outdoor applications, featuring an excellent UV rays and ozone resistance, as well as a good chemical and heat resistance.
Best application temperature (-45/+130°C)
- NBR (Nitrile): This polymer is used mainly for products operating in the presence of oils and greases; it features good mechanical properties such as resistance to compression, tear and abrasion.
Best application temperature (-30/+120°C)
- CR (Chloroprene): Commonly known as neoprene, this polymer partly joins the characteristics of NBR with those of EPDM, featuring a sufficient resistance to petroleum oils, as well as a good resistance to atmospheric agents. Not suitable for applications requiring prolonged exposure to heat since it tends to harden.
Best application temperature (-45/+120°C )
- VMQ (Silicone): Excellent for high-temperature applications, as well as for applications carried out in presence of ozone, oxygen and humidity conditions. Good resistance to compression and to various chemical agents. Thanks to its neutral smell and taste, it is often used in the pharmaceutical and medical fields. Finally, it also features excellent electrical insulation and flame resistance properties.
