Rubber Glossary


Rubber Glossary
  • Abrasionresistance: The resistance to abrasive wear.
  • AcidResistant: Resistance to the action of acids.
  • Aging:Exposing materials to an environment for a period of time.
  • Butyl:Synthetic rubber exhibiting very low permeability to gases.Copolymer of isobutylene and isoprene.
  • Durometer: Aninstrument for calculating the hardness of vulcanizedrubber.
  • Elasticity:The property to return to its original shape afterdeformation.
  • Elastomer: Aterm used to describe elastic polymers having rubber-likebehavior.
  • Elongation:Extension which is produced by a tensile stress.
  • ExpandedRubber: Cellular rubber made from a solid rubber compoundand having closed cells.
  • Extrusion:The process under which pressure is forced through the opening of adie in order to obtain a desired cross sectional shape.
  • Hardness(durometer): It is a property of rubber stocks which isdifficult to define except by considering the methods used todetermine it.
  • Heatresistance: The ability of rubber to retain its propertieseven under the destructive influence of heat.
  • Hypalon: Asynthetic rubber that is completely resistant to ozone attack underthe most extreme conditions and also possesses excellent colorstability including the action of acids, bases, and many otherchemicals.
  • Low temperatureflexibility: This is the temperature at which the rubberbecomes too stiff to function in its usual manner.
  • NaturalRubber: Rubber obtained from latex of the rubbertree.
  • Neoprene: Apolymer of chloroprene and is prepared from coal, salt andlimestone. Neoprene is a synthetic rubber used in weather-resistantproducts, adhesives, shoe soles, sportswear, paints, and rocketfuels.
  • Nitrilerubber: A copolymer of butadiene and acrylinitrile.
  • Oxidationresistance: The ability of rubber to withstand thereaction of atmospheric oxygen.
  • OilResistant: Ability of a vulcanized rubber to withstand theswelling and deteriorating effects of various type of oils.
  • Plasticisers:Liquids which are used to soften rubber.
  • Polymer: Itis a general term used to describe all rubbers and plastics.
  • Resilience:Capability of a material to return to its original size and shapeeven after after deformation.
  • Rubber: Amaterial that displays elastic properties that allow recovery fromlarge deformations quickly and forcibly.
  • SBR: StyreneButadiene Rubber. Copolymer of Butadiene. An all-purpose typesynthetic similar to natural rubber.
  • Siliconerubber: A type of synthetic rubber containingsilicone.
  • Syntheticrubber: Man-made rubber
  • TemperatureRange: It is the range in which it shows the lowesttemperature at which rubber remains flexible and the highesttemperature at which it will function.
  • Tensilestrength: The tensile strength of a rubber compound is theresistance of the rubber to rupture under tension.
  • Vulcanization: An process inwhich a rubber compound through a change in its chemical structurebecomes less plastic and more resistant to swelling by organicliquids and elastic properties are conferred, improved, or extendedover a wider range of temperature.
