In operating environments of vehicles with internal combustion engines, from heavy trucks to oil platforms, ships and even aerospace vehicles; moulded rubber pieces have to be manufactured selecting materials which can meet the demands of each application, guaranteeing flexibility and durability.

Selecting the Right Material for the Operating Environment
Our technical team will first select the best rubber material which meets the highest amount of required qualities, choosing among 80 organic elastomers. Any of the 350 raw materials which can be added to the elastomer to improve its qualities will also be taken into consideration. For example, a reinforcing agent such as carbon black can be added to improve the physical properties of rubber, such as resistance to traction, elongation, chemical resistance and compression. In other cases, it is even possible to choose minerals that provide the elastomer with greater resistance to high temperatures.

Each customised formulation undergoes demanding tests to guarantee that it will resist hostile environments.

Extreme Temperatures Test
After one or more compounds for application have been developed, we will test the material in a laboratory environment to expose it to high and low temperatures, and thus evaluate its resilience and ability to maintain the required properties.

Manufacturer Test
In the current global economy, it is essential to develop products than can work correctly in any climate. Therefore, during the different process stages, each piece undergoes a series of standardised tests, including tests of resistance to abrasion and extreme temperatures.

Material Quality Tests
Once the customised rubber compound has been developed and approved, we will provide the appropriate tests according to the industry standards to guarantee its correct performance. This is the procedure that will certify constant quality.
