People mostly people think of tires, rubber bands
or pencil erasers when they hear the word “rubber”. However rubber is basically
an elastic and water-resistant polyurethane
product which can be
formulated to trap air and not conduct electricity. The most distinguishing
characteristic of rubber is that it can be stretched to two, three, five, even
10 times its original length without breaking. The best part is, rubber once
again snaps back to its original size and remains unaltered. For its
distinctive characteristics manufacturers of rubber grommets,
rubber washer, rubber
"o" ring, rubber bucket,
rubber bellow, rubber diaphragm,
rubber bush, Rubber
oil-seal have gained
significant attention these days.
Possibly you know this already; rubber
can actually be squeezed, twisted or distorted and
still rubber retains its original shape. This is typically because rubber
consists of thousands of loosely joined molecules to make long, tangled chains.
In fact these chains of molecules can be pulled apart easily, but spring back
together upon release and this makes rubber and pp & hdpe based
products unique. Rubber also has astoundingly high abrasion
resistance and also remains unaffected by the corrosive action of most common
chemicals.
Of course; rubber can be formulated for
applications ranging from healthcare to space travel and everything from rubber
stamps to rubber anti vibration pad,
polyurethane product, rubber cork gasket, molding dies and artificial hearts rubber has
made its permanent place in almost any and every sector.
