Natural Rubber
Natural rubber is obtained from latex, a natural secretion of certain plants. Latex is composed of long polymer chains which must be partially broken between rollers or rotating blad...
Gaskets and o-rings are those familiar mechanical seals placed between separate substrates in order to prevent leakage when the substrates are connected. High-temperature seals may be more well-kno...
BASIC INTRODUCTION OF POLYURETHANE RUBBER
The code (UR) is a polymerization of a polyester (or polyether) and a diisocyanate compound. Its chemical structure is more complex than general elastic po...
However common they may seem, grommets serve a wide range of applications. Grommets of all sizes can be found in common items from the hole you feed your shoelaces through to the metal rings on you...
A majority of the people you talk to would be shocked if you were to tell them where rubber comes from. Natural rubber actually comes from a tree known as Hevea brasiliensis. Hevea brasiliensis ori...
