To combat the issue of changes within compound make-up and to ensure that you have the confidence that there is adequate control over supply chains, choose a rubber manufacturer who only buys materials from credible, long-term suppliers and who can demonstrate robust quality systems and proven laboratory facilities to continuously monitor the adherence to specification of the materials used.
Whether our rubber moulding compounds are specification or commercial grade, we only use highly competent and trustworthy suppliers who are based in western Europe, where we have the confidence and track record to assure us that what we receive and process meets expectation. We have in-house testing of the cure profile of any material batch via our MDR, and we undertake hardness and compression set testing routinely to ensure that our finished products do indeed meet the rubber quality standard required of any given material or product.
If you are concerned about the quality of rubber for your future projects, or would like to discuss how to test the quality of rubber parts you have had manufactured elsewhere, get in touch with our expert team and we will be able to guide and support you in finding the most suitable way forward.
