The art of compounding. Base polymers, reinforcing fillers, plasticisers, processing additives, curing agents, accelerators and activators, antidegradants, flame retardants, conductive additives, blowing agents, pigments - phew! 😅 Rubber compounding blends chemistry, physics and engineering to create highly complex materials used in everything from simple parts and components to high-performance products across virtually all industry sectors. Designing the right compound to meet specific performance requirements is both a science and an art, where experience and materials knowledge are invaluable. At AE Rubber (UK), when our customers share their product performance requirements, we draw on years of expertise to quickly specify the ideal polymers and formulations, optimise product design, and determine the most efficient, cost-effective production processes and tooling configurations. This ensures our products perform reliably in their intended environment, delivering high-quality, durable rubber parts that our customers - and theirs - can trust. And as our industry moves toward greater sustainability with renewable, bio-based and recycled materials, we’re fully committed to designing the next generation of rubber products with a lower environmental footprint. So the next time you encounter even a humble rubber part, however small, remember: this is more than just rubber. The magic is in the mix! #RubberIndustry #Compounding Karl Snitch RUBBER HEART
Indeed the magic is behind a tailored compound formulation....
The sheer magic of rubber compounding is too exquisite to the performer. But generally goes unrecognised. Time to elevate rubber compounding to the level of fine art....
