The talk was attended by about 20 people, consisting both exhibitors and visitors at the show. The main objective of the presentation is to create awareness on the capabilities of Malaysian companies and the Malaysian rubber products industry in supplying quality rubber automotive parts to the European automotive sector. There was a question raised during the Q&A session on whether is there any R&D done on rubber products as Malaysia is known for its strong R&D in the upstream sector. Mr Izwan replied by saying that both Malaysian Rubber Board and TARRC had conducted some product developments on molded parts such as anti-vibration products and both institutions has experts in designing and developing other engineered products. 6.0 Conclusion In conclusion, GACS 2015 allowed participating manufacturers to further assess the potential of Germany, the second largest country of Malaysia’s rubber automotive components export. Companies participated under MREPC had the opportunities to meet and discuss potential business with decision makers and procurement officers of different Tier Suppliers in the European automotive industry. For MREPC, GACS is a very specialized and a relatively small trade fair to widely promote our Malaysian rubber automotive parts in the European market. The show also attracted limited number of potential buyers from the aftermarket segment. Page | 7 .

  • Mechanical Properties of Rubber
    8434_Harris_33_b.qxd 09/20/2001 12:30 PM Page 33.1 CHAPTER 33 MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF RUBBER Ronald J. Schaefer INTRODUCTION Rubber is a unique material that is both elastic and viscous. Rubber parts can there- fore function as shock and vibration isolators and/or as dampers.Although the term rubber is used rather loosely, it usually refers to the compounded and vulcanized material. In the raw state it is referred to as an elastomer. Vulcanization forms chem- ical bonds between adjacent elastomer chains and subsequently imparts dimen- sional stability, strength, and resilience. An unvulcanized rubber lacks structural integrity and will “flow” over a period of time. Rubber has a low modulus of elasticity and is capable of sustaining a deformation of as much as 1000 percent. After such deformation, it quickly and forcibly retracts to its original dimensions. It is resilient and yet exhibits internal damping. Rubber can be processed into a variety of shapes and can be adhered to metal inserts or mounting plates. It can be compounded to have widely varying properties.The load- deflection curve can be altered by changing its shape. Rubber will not corrode and normally requires no lubrication. This chapter provides a summary of rubber compounding and describes the static and dynamic properties of rubber which are of importance in shock and vibration isolation applications. It also discusses how these properties are influenced by envi- ronmental conditions. RUBBER COMPOUNDING Typical rubber compound formulations consist of 10 or more ingredients that are added to improve physical properties, affect vulcanization, prevent long-term dete- rioration, and improve processability.These ingredients are given in amounts based on a total of 100 parts of the rubber (parts per hundred of rubber).

  • Silicone Rubber Compounds Meeting the Increasingly Diverse and Sophisticated Needs of Industry with the Unique Properties of Silicone Rubbers
    Characteristic properties of Silicone Rubber Compounds Meeting the increasingly diverse and sophisticated needs of industry with the unique properties of silicone rubbers The main ingredients of Shin-Etsu’s silicone rubber compounds are unique raw silicone rubber gum and high-purity silica. Silicone rubber compounds have characteristics of both inorganic and organic materials, and offer a number of advantages not found in other organic rubbers. Silicone rubbers have fine electrical properties, good chemical stability and flame retardancy, and superior resistance to heat and cold. They are thus used in nearly every industry to improve the quality and functionality of products including electric and electronic equipment, office automation equipment, automobiles, food products, household goods, and leisure products. ■ Contents General properties of silicone 3 Heat and cold resistance 4 Weatherability 5 Moisture and steam resistance 5 Resistance to oils, solvents, and other chemicals 6, 7 Electrical insulation 8 Thermal conductivity 9 Flame retardancy 9 Electrical conductivity 9 Compression set 10 Flex fatigue resistance 10 Tear strength and tensile strength 11 Gas permeability 12 Transparency and coloring properties 12 Radiation resistance 13 Vibration absorption 14 Releasability and Non-corrosivity 14 Physiologically inert 14 The fine properties of silicone rubber 15 2 General properties of silicone High binding energy The siloxane bonds (–Si–O–Si–) that form the backbone of silicone (dimethyl polysiloxane) are highly stable. At 433 kJ/mol, their binding energy is higher than that of carbon bonds (C–C), at 355 kJ/mol. Thus, compared to common organic polymers, silicone rubbers have higher heat resistance and chemical stability, and provide better electrical insulation.
