Da/Pro Rubber

Da/Pro Rubber Medical Grade Silicone is a level of testing done on silicone materials. Some tests performed to classify medical grade silicone are USP class VI biological testing, histopathology, intramuscular implantation, and tissue cell-culture testing. Other testing could include skin sensitization, pyrogenicity, and hemolysis, although not all tests may be conducted to qualify the material as medical grade silicone. Dow Corning uses the term medical grade which has become widely accepted industry practice. Other testing of medical grade silicone is performed to determine compatibility with human implantation.

Da/Pro Rubber TPE elastomers add soft-touch grips, high tech looks, multiple color capability, scents, surface textures and more to a variety of components. TPE elastomer molding is being used in consumer products, industrial products, medical device components, electrical products and in almost every other industry.

Viton® /FKM/FFKM is the most specified fluoroelastomer, wel known for its excellent (400°F/200°C) heat resistance. Viton@ offers excellent resistance to aggressive fuels and chemicals and has worldwide ISO 9000 and ISO/TS 16949 registration. Viton® is a brand of synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer commonly used in O-rings and other molded components. We mold Viton@ O-rings for a variety of applications in the aerospace and industrial markets. Viton® O-rings are ideal in oil field applications where Viton® can resist aggressive properties of natural gas and oils.

Da/Pro Rubber Fluorosilicones is a variation of silicone rubber that has been chemically modified to have enhanced chemical resistance similar to Fluorocarbons (FKM). It has all the characteristics of Silicone rubber, and even has excellent resistance to many solvents, oils, greases and fuels. It has the same temperature range of silicones, -90 Fto 400F. Fluorosilicone compounds process and mold the same as other silicones, but is considered a premium product due to its enhanced fluid resistance while maintaining excellent high and low temperature resistance and resistance to ozone, oxygen and weathering. Because of this, the cost is significantly higher than other silicones.

Da/Pro Rubber High Temp Plastics PEEK offer stable physical properties, dimensional stability and characteristics that are ideal for electrical applications that can experience increased temperatures. We work with a variety of materials that fall in the high temperature range and can obtain materials that will assist in flame retardance, wear resistance, conductivity, structural reinforcement available in a variety of colors. While most plastics do not hold up to harsh chemicals, high temperature plastics offer more chemical resistance than most.

Da/Pro Rubber Neoprene/Chloroprene is a brand name developed by DuPont Performance Elastomers. It is a name for a family of synthetic rubbers based on polychloroprene. DuPont developed this family of rubbers as an oil-resistant alternative to natural rubber.Because of these properties, neoprene rubber is useful in a variety of applications. Neoprene rubber gaskets and neoprene grommets are used in devices that are exposed to extreme chemicals and temperatures. Neoprene gaskets are often used in automotive and oil & gas industry as a seal against corrosive environments and weather elements. Neoprene grommets are used in electrical connectors in the aerospace and electronic industries. Neoprene rubber has become a popular material choice in modern applications ranging from clothing to electronic cases.

Da/Pro Rubber SBR is an elastomeric copolymer that consists of styrene and butadiene. SBR has good abrasion resistance and good stability.

Da/Pro Rubber LSR is the material used in our proprietary liquid injection molding (LIM) process. LSR produces medium to high volume rubber parts more efficiently and economically than other rubber molding processes.

Da/Pro Rubber Conductive Elastomers are rubber compounds that have been specially compounded and modified to make the rubber electrically conductive. The level of conductivity of rubber ranges from Insulative to Antistatic to EMI/RFI Shielding to Highly Conductive. The base polymer is an insulating material. Ingredients added to make a rubber compound effect the level of conductivity.
