Which rubber is right for your application?

Which rubber is right for your application? Choosing the right rubber for your application depends on a number of factors, such as environment, temperature, pressure, chemical resistance and the required mechanical properties. Here are some common types of rubber and their applications.

Natural rubber (NR): Natural rubber is very elastic and is suitable for applications that require high elasticity, such as tyres, seals and conveyor belts.

Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR). SBR is a synthetic rubber with good abrasion resistance, toughness and ageing properties. It is commonly used in tyres, footwear and conveyor belts.

Butadiene Rubber (BR). Butadiene rubber is a highly elastic and abrasion resistant synthetic rubber. It is commonly used in tyre treads, conveyor belts and mechanical products.

Chloroprene Rubber (CR). Neoprene has good heat, ozone and weather resistance, making it ideal for applications such as seals and hoses.

Nitrile rubber (NBR). Nitrile rubber is oil resistant and has good stretch and abrasion resistance, making it ideal for applications such as gaskets and fuel hoses.

Ethylene-Propylene Monomer (EPDM). EPDM is a synthetic rubber with high resistance to heat, ozone and weathering. It is commonly used in automotive hoses, gaskets and roofing membranes.

Silicone rubber (VMQ). Silicone rubber has good heat resistance and elasticity at low temperatures. It is commonly used for electrical insulation, automotive hoses and medical equipment.

When selecting rubber for your application, it is important to consider the specific requirements and conditions of the application to ensure that the rubber material performs as expected. Consulting a rubber specialist or manufacturer can also help you choose the best rubber for your needs.
