FAQ on solid rubber for different requirements and environments. CR (neoprene), EPDM, NBR, NR, SI (silicone) and SBR.
Yes, we’ll advise you based on the requirements specification, environment, chemical composition, temperature, mechanical load and service life. We have a rubber grade to suit every requirement.
Yes, we punch, cut and shape all our solid rubber grades to customer-specific dimensions and geometries.
We have a wide range of products and a good supply of materials, which means we can deliver quickly – both samples and larger batches.
This varies depending on the grade: EPDM has good chemical resistance, NBR is resistant to oil and fuel, whilst silicone can withstand many chemical environments as well as high temperatures.
Yes, we also offer EPDM 60° White, which is FDA-approved and has good electrical insulation properties.
Yes, several grades, such as EPDM 60° White and silicone, are available in various colours, including white, red and transparent.
Yes, we offer a range of products: sheet material for die-cutting, sealing profiles and tubing for technical applications.
Yes, EPDM and neoprene in particular are highly weather-resistant and perform well in outdoor environments exposed to ozone, UV radiation and significant temperature fluctuations.
Natural rubber has excellent wear resistance and high elasticity. It is used when flexibility needs to be combined with good mechanical strength.
Most of our grades fall within the 40–70° Shore A range, which allows us to tailor the hardness to suit the intended function and load.
Horddamp are our polyurethane vibration dampers, characterised by high elasticity and a long service life. They combine spring and damping properties to provide effective vibration control.
SBR is a hard-wearing solid rubber with good mechanical strength. It is used in applications subject to abrasion and heavy wear.
Solid rubber is a compact and hard-wearing material that we supply in the form of sheets, hoses and profiles. It is used in environments that require good resistance to cold, heat, ozone, oil and wear and tear.
The main difference lies in the hardness. All three are ozone-resistant, but the choice depends on how rigid or flexible the material needs to be for the design.
We offer CR (neoprene), EPDM, NBR, SBR, NR and silicone in a range of hardnesses and grades to meet various requirements in terms of chemical resistance, temperature and mechanical stress.
EPDM offers excellent resistance to ageing and chemicals, as well as high resistance to ozone. It is used in everything from outdoor structures to seals in vehicles and industrial environments.
NBR is an excellent choice when a seal or component needs to withstand oil, fuel or grease. It is often used in automotive and industrial applications.
Neoprene is resistant to ozone and ageing, and offers good wear resistance. It is suitable for use in many technical environments where moderate oil resistance is sufficient.
Silicone can withstand very high and low temperatures (-70°C to +200°C) and is available in red, white and clear. It is used in environments where temperature resistance and purity are critical.
