Rubber and elastomer materials
We manufacture top quality rubber components using selected raw materials and a carefully designed, innovative production process.
· Natural rubber (NR)
· Copolymers (SBR - NBR - EPM)
· Polyurethanes (PU)
· Polychloropylene (CR)
· Terpolymer (EPDM)
· Polydimethyl-siloxane (VMQ)
· Fluorine elastomer (FPM/FKM)
· Polyiepi-Chlorhydrin (CO)
How to choose the right elastomer material
Each type of rubber has precise physical and mechanical characteristics, therefore we use the one that allows you to have a product able to withstand time and stresses to which it will be subjected during its use.
