Brands in Elastomers

RE-FLEX TPU is highly versatile and can be easily processed by injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, vacuum forming, solution coating and compounding. Parts made from RE-FLEX can be welded, sterilized, printed, painted, laser marked, colored, machined and die-cut.

Solid Vulkollan® fills the gap in the hardness range between rubber-elastic materials and hard plastics (e.g. polyamide) and can be adjusted between 65 Shore hardness A and 70 Shore hardness D. Due to its excellent property profile, Vulkollan® is used in all areas of industry where the highest demands are placed on the material. Articles of different geometries from a few grams to more than 100kg unit weight can be produced economically both in large series and in individual production.

Acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR), usually shortened to nitrile or NBR, was developed in 1941 as the first oil resistant rubber. NBR rubber grades with high acrylonitrile content have better oil resistance, whereas low acrylonitrile content gives better low-temperature flexibility and resilience.

Evonik's ZEOFREE® precipitated silicas are well-known and used as an anti-caking agent, carrier, stabilizer, defoamer, rheology controller, microplastic replacement, and numerous others. The ZEOFREE®product range provides a specialized product solution for many challenges. Through advanced product technology, custom application development and best-in-class handling expertise, Evonik's technical team supports customers in finding the right solution to step up the performance.

ELASTOSIL® R solid silicone rubber grades are peroxide-curing. They can be processed by conventional methods, such as extrusion, calendering, compression and transfer molding, or injection molding. They cure in heat and are ideal for manufacturing a variety of silicone rubber articles.

Alpha manufactures a full line of high-performance rubber sheet products and coated fabrics for use in engineered OEM end-use applications. Our diverse capabilities in fabric treatments and polymer processing allow us to balance adhesion with polymer performance for exacting requirements. End-use markets include aerospace, automotive, gas, equipment, machinery, and controls. We proudly manufacture fluorosilicone, silicone, EPDM, FKM, NBR, CR, HNBR, and PTFE composites here in the USA.

Silicone rubber is a high-performance elastomer that is ideal for high and low-temperature applications. VMQ’s unique structure provides material flexibility, and it is consistent over a wide range of temperatures thanks to its chemical characteristics.

FlexPlast® Thermoplastic Elastomer is a plastic material that combines the processing advantages of a thermoplastic with the properties and performance of a rubber-like material. The product is a soft, flexible, highly elastic material that can be custom formulated to perform in a variety of processes, including injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and thermoforming. These lower modulus, flexible materials can typically be stretched repeatedly, only to return to their original shape when relaxed. When heated, FlexPlast® will soften until it flows, making it suitable for formation into complex shapes using standard thermoplastic processing equipment.

Badaflex TPE-S are thermoplastic elastomers based on styrol block copolymers. These unite the excellent processing qualities of thermoplastic plastics with the elastomer qualities of rubber. Particularly noteworthy properties include pleasant haptics, maximum toughness, elasticity and low temperature flexibility (down to -50°C) not to mention very good ozone and weather proofness. The entire product group is available in colored and transparent nuances. Badaflex compounds can be widely varied in hardness from Shore 10A to 60D. Heat-resistant, fire-retardant and odor-reduced compounds as well as modifications in respect of surface, deformation and flow quality can be adjusted to the customer’s requirements. Our main strength lies in our specially developed types for 2-component processing: With these, we achieve particularly good adhesion results on various hard components.

We have a bunch of additive products for various applications. They are Nucleating agents, Optical Brighters, Color developer, Curing, etc.

The special chemical bond of Vulkollan® gives this material an excellent level of properties such as high resilience, very low abrasion loss, extremely low compression set, high thermal stability, excellent tear and tear propagation resistance.

Nonionic surfactants carry no electrical charge and are available in a variety of chemical types. The main classes are alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol ethoxylates/propoxylates, ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymers, castor oil ethoxylates, amine ethoxylates, fatty acid esters and their ethoxylates. They are used in a wide range of applications where they provide useful characteristics including  emulsification, solubilisation, wetting, dispersion, detergency, foaming and defoaming.

Elastron D is a brand name of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymers that behaves like rubber properties under room temperature and has advantage of easy processing. Generally, Elastron SBS products are suitable for indoor applications because they do not resist to UV and heat. These materials are especially preferred for hand tools, home appliances and mechanical parts.

"Our additives and ingredients enhance manufacturing processes and the performance of products. Thomas Swan has developed a range of viscosity-reduction additives for the rubber processing and polymer industries, providing time, energy, cost and environmental benefits. Pepton® chemical peptisers catalyze the mastication of rubber, providing time, energy, cost and environmental benefits. The dibenzamido diphenyl disulphide (DBD) chemistry used to produce the active ingredient within Pepton® is widely considered by the rubber processing industry to be more environmentally acceptable than traditional pentachloro thiophenol based peptisers. Thomas Swan’s DBD is the only fully REACH registered chemical peptiser. A range of formulated Pepton® products is available, each having different concentrations of the active ingredient combined with a range of complementary proprietary additives that enhance peptising performance."

Silfermin FLS series are produced from naturally occurring sodium potassium - aluminum silicate feedstock. With a unique and distinctive combination of particle morphology, surface chemistry, and reflective index, Silfermin FLS exhibits excellent anti-blocking performance with minimal impact upon barefoot optical properties. These provide better clarity & low haze with high gloss.
