All kinds of rubber products can be supplied in SBR material, including counterweight blocks of the type produced for American customers. The work is backed by an in-house structural design team, so product structure and mould manufacture are handled independently rather than subcontracted, which keeps design changes and tooling correction inside one workshop. SBR itself offers superior resistance to wear and tear, a low water absorption rate and non-toxic behaviour that makes it safe across a range of applications, and it is a cost-effective material choice where the duty does not demand a specialist elastomer.
In-house structural design means a part can be redesigned for mouldability instead of being quoted as drawn and failing in production
Independent mould manufacture keeps tooling corrections inside one workshop and off the critical path
Abrasion resistance suits parts that rub or take repeated impact in service
Low water absorption keeps dimensions stable in damp or wet working positions
Cost per part stays reasonable where a specialist elastomer would be over specified
A part drawn without moulding in mind is expensive to tool and prone to defects
Splitting design and mould making across suppliers slows every engineering change
Rubber that absorbs water swells and the part no longer fits its housing
Parts that wear quickly in rubbing service create repeat replacement cost
Specifying a premium elastomer where SBR would serve raises the part cost without benefit

SBR is the more economical choice where the duty is abrasion and moisture rather than oil contact
EPDM is specified for weather ozone and coolant duty while SBR covers general wear resistant parts
Structure design and mould manufacture in one workshop shortens the loop on every engineering change

Both. There is an in-house structural design team, and product structure and mould manufacture are carried out independently.
It offers superior abrasion resistance, a low water absorption rate and non-toxic behaviour, and it is cost-effective where a specialist elastomer is not needed.
Yes. Moulds are designed and manufactured in house for the part rather than sourced outside.
SBR has a low water absorption rate, so parts keep their dimensions better in damp working conditions than materials that take up water.
Tolerance depends on the part geometry and mould design and is agreed against your drawing and confirmed with the quotation.
Send the drawing, capacity or duty cycle you need and we will come back with the factory match, the build detail and the commercial terms.
