Custom Rubber Molding And Some Important Considerations

Rubber is one of the most commonly used products in both commercial and residential applications. There are two types of rubber which find application in everyday life. First is natural rubber, which is created using latex drawn from rubber trees; and second is chemically synthesised. Regardless of the type, rubber is characterised by its ability to withstand large deformations and then regain its original dimensions. Natural rubber has some nuances like it is less resistant to mechanical, chemical and environmental resistance which makes it unusable for many applications. Synthetic rubber has been formulated to address all the shortcomings and provide ease in forming highly resistant rubber products.

With rubber products gaining immense hold in the market for making some important components, the demand for Rubber Mold Design Canada has seen a tremendous increase. Actually, there is no such thing like standard material when it comes to rubber products. For each use, there is custom made product tailored to precisely meet the need of application.

Also, rubber is a highly complex material than steel or plastic. While plastic or steel products can be made by melting just 3 - 4 materials together, formulation of rubber requires blending of 10 to 20 materials together. In addition to this, many of these building blocks of rubber undergo irreversible chemical reaction when the rubber is vulcanized during the manufacturing process. As a number of materials are mixed together and they undergo many transforming chemical reactions, it is not really possible to reverse the engineering process of rubber. Depending on the process requirements and the steps involved, formulating rubber is considered more art than science.

When it comes to Custom Rubber Molding Manufacturing ON, three types of performance challenges should be given concern:

Chemicals – When in the formulation process, rubber is required to react with a variety of chemicals depending on the applications it is molded for. Suppose, if the rubber product has to be used in motors or generators, it should be oil or gas resistant. In this case, it is treated with certain chemicals to acquire this characteristic.

Dynamism – Rubber is very dynamic material. It can undergo huge deformations that it endures in its applications. Rubber is also required to maintain its properties even under extreme stressing, even when it is compressed thousands or millions of time.

Environmental impact – Not only the rubber is required to stay flexible even when under pressure, but it should also withstand corrosive chemicals and other environmental factors like extreme temperature and pressure conditions.
