Why is the surface of rubber non-slip? = High friction characteristics and methods for reducing friction =
The "slip resistance" of rubber products is an inherent characteristic, but in some applications, slip properties are necessary.
Rubber generally has a high coefficient of friction and is a material that is not easy to slip on. ■ Why is rubber not slippery? Rubber is a material that easily undergoes elastic deformation. When pressed against a surface, it deforms along the contours, increasing the contact area. The larger the contact area, the greater the frictional force. Additionally, the surface of rubber may have tackiness, which increases friction and adhesion. ■ Cases where slip resistance is required In rubber O-rings, gaskets, and sealing components, smooth insertion during assembly and low friction during sliding are required. ■ Please consult us first The optimal measures vary depending on the type of rubber and the usage environment. Yoshida SKT's GLC series is a specialized coating that imparts low friction properties to the rubber surface. For more details, please download the materials and check.
