Product Overview

Rubber products moulded in SBR, a synthetic rubber with good abrasion resistance, a low water absorption rate and non toxic composition. The range includes counterweight blocks produced for customers in the United States. Structural design is done in house, so a part can be developed from a requirement rather than only produced from a finished drawing, and the mould is manufactured in the same workshop.

Key Benefits

Good abrasion resistance for parts that see wear in service
Low water absorption, so parts hold their dimensions in wet conditions
Non toxic composition suitable for a wide range of applications
In house structural design so the part can be developed with you
Mould design and manufacture handled in the same workshop

Problems It Solves

Rubber parts wearing out faster than the equipment they sit in
Parts absorbing water and changing dimension
Designs that need engineering input before they can be tooled
Mould making and moulding split between two suppliers

Where It Is Used

Applications And Buyers

Application Scenarios

Counterweight blocks for equipment and appliances
Wear resistant rubber components
Moulded parts exposed to water and weather
General industrial rubber components in volume

Who It Is For

Equipment manufacturers buying moulded rubber parts
Importers sourcing counterweights and rubber components
Designers who need a part developed rather than only made
Buyers moving a rubber part from prototype to production

Customisation Options

What Can Be Varied

Part geometry developed with our structural design team
Mould designed and manufactured in house
Hardness and compound grade for the application
Metal inserts bonded where required
Production quantities from sample batch upward

Compared With The Alternatives

EPDM parts	EPDM leads on weather, ozone and water resistance; SBR is the economical choice where abrasion resistance and cost matter more.
Buying a moulded part from a trading company	Having the structural design and the mould workshop in the same place means design changes do not have to travel through a third party.

Use Guide

Send the function and the space envelope if you do not have a finished drawing
State whether the part sits in water or outdoors, since that may point to another compound
Agree the mould design before tooling starts
Approve a first article from the production mould before the batch runs

Questions

Questions Buyers Ask About This Product

What is SBR good for?

Abrasion resistance, low water absorption and non toxic applications, at a lower cost than most speciality compounds.

Can you design the part as well as make it?

Yes. There is an in house structural design team, and product structure and mould can be designed independently.

Do you make the mould too?

Yes, mould manufacture is done in house.

What kinds of parts do you produce in SBR?

All kinds of rubber products, including counterweight blocks supplied to customers in the United States.

What quantity do you need for a production order?

Plastic parts produced by injection moulding, where molten plastic is injected into a mould, and by blow moulding,…
