About  rubber

              

 1.Rubber Production:

       Rubber can be two types: either nature rubber or synthetic rubber.

             a. Nature Rubber : A groove is cut in the bark to collect the

                                         latex. After the impurity are removed, the

                                         latex is solidified fumigated and dry..etc.

             b. Synthetic rubber : Synthetic rubber is made from several

                                            by-product of the chemical industry. It

                                            can be synthesized to different

                                            requirements. The most common types

                                            are : SBRNBREPDMBR

                                           IIRCRQ FKM..etc. Because

                                            sytheticization processes differ the

                                            above can be further divided into

                                            different formula, by manipulating the

                                            formula to suit thousands of different

                                            applications.

 2.Rubber Material:

       Rubber compounds undergo three procedures:

              a. Mastication : The rubber is cut thermoplastic, and mixed to

                                      a uniform consistency. Adding ingredients

                                      chemical mixture processing and additives to

                                      help mix the ingredients in mixture

                                      processing. This is ensuring to further

                                      improve the rubber malleability, uniform

                                      chemical distribution, and preventing friction

                                      heat and scorching  during manufacturing. 

              b. Compounding and mixing : The finished product will be

                                                          directly effected by the

                                                          success of this process.

                                                          Uneven chemical distribution

                                                          will result in incomplete

                                                          molecular configuration,

                                                          yielding inferior rubber.

              c. Rolling on : The rubber is then processed through a roll

                                    mill in order to get rid of air and press the

                                    rubber into the desired thickness to facilitate

                                    the forming process.

 3.Rubber formation:

       The rubber molecular structure is unsaturated polymer. Forming

        rubber requires proper chemical additive and manufacturing

        factors such as time, temperature, and pressure...... etc. This will

        destroy unsaturated bonding and rebuild it into saturated bond. A

        vacuum is used to force the air out of the material. This imparts

        to fully utilize the proper characteristics to the material. If there

        are any defects in this process such as improper formula,

        inadequate forming times, incorrect temperatures these which

        cause the rubber to lose additives and its proper characteristics

        and lose additives. this will deform deteriorate the rubber worsen

        the defects.

 4.Rubber deterioration:

       Depending on its environment the rubber product will crack or

       petrify and lose its original properties. This is called aging. There

        are two factors causing of aging.

               a. External factors : oxygen, oxidants, ozone, heat, light,

                                            radiation, and mechanical fatigue,

                                            and defective molding process.

               b. Internal factors : The type of rubber, the forming process,

                                            the degree of molecular bonding the

                                            additive types and the factors involved

                                            in manufacturing.

1.         To prevent rubber aging focus on rubber type selection, formula

        design and quality control, all of which increases the life of the

        rubber products and maximizes its properties.

 5.The basic rubber properties of rubber products:

       a. When rubber products are formed they go through immense

           pressure. The coherence of elastomer is not able to get rid of.

           When the molds are removed it can create varying degree of

           unstable shrinkage. The rate of shrinkage will depend on type

           of rubber. It takes time to stabilize the shape. Before the

           products are designed, great attention should be paid to both

           the formula and mold; otherwise you run the risk of deviating

           from the dimension and lower the product quality.

       b. Rubber is the type of thermo-set. Rubber due to the different

           use material vulcanization. The curing temperature used to

           depend on the weather and humidity. The rubber 

           manufacturing conditions need to be adjusted in

           coordination with the production environment. If not, it

           will effect the products.

 6.To distinguish two-sides tape for rubber:

       Regular two-sided tape for industrial use can be to recognized as

       two types, Acrylic and rubber. From these main types, we can

       further develop two types, one with base material. One without a

       base material. (The base material is cotton material to increase the

       quantity and strength of the tape. If these is no base material: the

       pure rubber will be transparent.) Because the main material is CR

       used in rubber adhesive, which is very easy to turn yellowish

       because reaction with the vulcanizing material. So for beige

       colored rubber products it is preferable to use tape that has base

       material (in the same type of two-sided tape both tapes that has

       base material either with or without base material which

       subdivided the tape by its thickness.)
