When you need a tough material, natural rubber is an abrasion-resistant solution that’s great for areas where other materials would wear out. Timco Rubber can work with your business to provide custom-designed natural rubber parts that are specifically designed for your applications.
Natural Rubber: A Tough Material for Physically Demanding Applications
Some applications demand the most out of their individual parts. Natural rubber is a versatile material used in engineering for many years for a very simple reason – it can take a beating and still perform crucial functions.
Natural rubber combines high tensile and tear strength with an outstanding resistance to fatigue. These heavy-duty capabilities make this material an ideal polymer for dynamic or static engineering applications that deal with regular vibration, noise, contact, and other issues. These qualities make natural rubber an ideal solution for tires, printer rollers, agitators, and other parts that will come into regular contact with abrasive surfaces or other damaging elements.
