The widely used "rubber" includes "natural rubber" and "synthetic rubber." The main applications of rubber include uses that take advantage of its elasticity, such as tires and balls, as well as applications that utilize its stretchability and flexibility, such as hoses and bands. Additionally, synthetic rubber comes in various types, including those resistant to oil and gasoline, those that conduct electricity, and those that do not. It is important to understand the characteristics of each type of synthetic rubber and select materials according to the intended use. [Purpose and Types of Rubber Compounding Agents] ■ Raw Rubber - Purpose of Compounding: Main material - Types of Compounding Agents: Natural rubber, synthetic rubber - Composition Ratio: 48% *We also accept online meetings.

Each molding method has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is necessary to select the appropriate one based on the customer's intended use and requirements. In "compression molding," there are many molds that can be produced relatively inexpensively; however, there is a disadvantage in that it is difficult to accommodate delicate shapes such as thin pins. On the other hand, in "injection molding," materials are automatically supplied in a constant amount, making it easier to maintain consistent molding conditions, but it is not suitable for small lot production. Our company can offer various proposals utilizing our many years of know-how. If you are interested in how we select the most suitable methods and what additional methods we recommend, please feel free to contact us for more detailed selection points and additional methods. *We also accept online meetings.

If the molding temperature and molding time of the O-ring are insufficient, the force trying to return the O-ring to its original shape becomes weak, and it remains compressed, resulting in gaps between the components. As a result, the liquid that was sealed by the O-ring leaks out, causing problems. However, the O-ring is fitted into the groove of the assembled components and compressed to fill the gap with rubber. By filling the space between the components with rubber, it seals to prevent the liquid inside from leaking, and the force of the compressed O-ring trying to return to its original shape can close the gaps between the components. [Case Study] ■ Issue - Insufficient molding temperature and molding time of the O-ring lead to gaps between components. ■ Solution - Fill the gaps between the components with rubber to seal and prevent the liquid inside from leaking. *We also accept online meetings.

When using rubber products in high-temperature environments, various components such as siloxanes, oils, sulfur, and ketones can outgas. Depending on the temperature environment and application of the product, it is necessary to create formulations that suppress outgassing or formulations that minimize the negative impact of outgassing on the counterpart products, tailored to the environment. Our company accepts consultations regarding market complaints and material troubles related to customer products, and we develop and propose new formulations as countermeasures, ensuring the supply of safe and reliable rubber parts. Please feel free to contact us when needed. 【Do you have any of the following issues?】 ■ Transparent lenses have become cloudy like frosted glass. ■ Outgassed components adhered to the counterpart product when the temperature cooled, causing contact failure. ■ Outgassing has dissolved the counterpart product. ■ Outgassing has corroded metal. *We also accept online meetings.

The popular rubber material known for its excellent weather resistance and ozone resistance is EPDM. However, in recent years, with the development of sulfur-free options, there have been cases where peroxide-crosslinked EPDM, which is widely used, can experience a softening degradation phenomenon, melting like candy when used for long periods in high ozone concentration environments. For peroxide-crosslinked EPDM, it is possible to significantly reduce the risk of softening degradation by implementing secondary crosslinking to remove residual peroxides. Our company accepts consultations regarding market complaints and material issues related to customer products, and we develop and propose new formulations as countermeasures, ensuring the supply of safe and reliable rubber parts. Please feel free to contact us when needed. 【Solutions】 ■ For peroxide-crosslinked EPDM, implementing secondary crosslinking can remove residual peroxides and significantly reduce the risk of softening degradation. ■ If there are concerns about softening degradation due to hydrolysis of urethane rubber, selecting ether-based urethane rubber can mitigate the risk of hydrolysis. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.

Migration contamination mainly causes problems as defects that impair appearance rather than performance, resulting in brown stains on design surfaces such as resin, metal, and painted surfaces, which become dirt that cannot be removed. When selecting chemicals such as crosslinking agents and aging inhibitors, it is necessary to choose suitable chemicals while considering both the product's required specifications and appearance quality requirements. Countermeasures can be implemented through formulation proposals that consider functionality and application. Our company accepts consultations regarding market complaints and material troubles related to customer products, and by developing and proposing new formulations as countermeasures, we provide safe and reliable rubber parts. 【Do you have any such issues?】 ■ The rubber product placed on a white table left a brown stain when moved. ■ The metal changed color after being stored together with rubber in a box. *We also accept online meetings.

Here are some examples of past evaluations we have received. Regarding the content of the drawings that were somewhat over-specified, we inquired about the intended use and proposed several alternative material grades. After conducting an evaluation and making changes to the drawings, the adoption of materials that balanced price and performance led to significant cost reductions and earned us a rationalization award. Our company is prepared to offer various proposals tailored to our customers' needs, aiming to provide optimal solutions in terms of quality, price, and lead time.
