Of the many factors that influence the performance of a rubber extrusion, few are more important than material selection. The right materials have a direct impact on a rubber extrusion’s performance and durability. That’s why at ELBEX, we’re committed to using superior materials to ensure excellent outcomes. The Science of Material Selection in Rubber Extrusions At ELBEX, we use several types of materials for our rubber extrusions, including silicone, EPDM, neoprene, natural rubber, SBR, and more. Each of these materials has unique properties, with varying levels of chemical, temperature, and environmental resistance. The right material for the project depends on factors like the desired hardness, the part’s application or function, and even whether it will be used indoors or outdoors. We take all of these factors into consideration for materials selection. ELBEX’s Approach to Material Excellence In addition to ensuring that the right kind of materials are used for each project, the ELBEX team is committed to ensuring material excellence. We partner with leading materials suppliers who have a history of providing high-quality materials. Our products also undergo rigorous in-house testing to ensure they meet performance requirements for specific applications, ensuring their long-term performance. The Impact of Superior Materials on Product Performance Superior materials are an essential long-term investment when manufacturing rubber extrusions. Higher-quality materials will perform better and last longer, resulting in improved safety, increased product lifespan, and reduced maintenance expenses. Reliable materials offer much-needed peace of mind that you’ll get dependable performance for any application.
