[Free Sample Gift] Comparison of Rubber Sponges: NR, NBR, CR, EPDM

Various types of rubber-based sponges, commonly known as rubber sponges, have been categorized by their applications, usage environments, and excellent performance (strength, waterproofing, heat resistance, chemical resistance, etc.).

NR series (Natural Rubber) Rubber Sponge - Characteristics Has the most rubber-like elasticity. Good mechanical strength and abrasion resistance. Weak against heat and ultraviolet rays. - Main Applications Various tires, footwear, hoses, belts, vibration-damping rubber, industrial gaskets, etc. NBR series (Nitrile Rubber) - Characteristics Oil resistance is its greatest feature. Excellent gas permeability. Poor weather resistance and cold resistance. - Main Applications Oil seals, gaskets, packing, oil-resistant hoses, etc. CR series (Chloroprene Rubber) - Characteristics Has average properties such as weather resistance, oil resistance, and heat resistance. Excellent flame retardancy. - Main Applications Wire insulation, automotive parts, belts and hoses, window frame rubber, adhesives, etc. SR series (Silicone Rubber) - Characteristics High heat resistance, cold resistance, and weather resistance. Excellent electrical properties and non-stickiness. Physiologically safe material. Mechanical strength is inferior. - Main Applications Food-related, medical device-related packing, gaskets, industrial rolls, etc. EPDM series (Ethylene Propylene Rubber) - Characteristics Excellent ozone resistance, weather resistance, chemical resistance, heat resistance, and cold resistance. - Main Applications Window frames, automotive parts, electrical wires, outdoor cushioning materials, and shock-absorbing rubber materials, etc.

It is a clean polyolefin-based special foam with low outgassing that does not use chemical blowing agents. It is recommended for precision equipment and measures against sick house syndrome.

Due to the supercritical nitrogen gas foaming method, the foam has very low outgassing of substances such as siloxane, ammonia, formaldehyde, and sulfur, making it safe for use in measures against sick house syndrome and in precision equipment such as electronic circuits.

Parking space management refers to the real-time display of parking availability and the management of efficient use of parking spaces. By utilizing Hotron's sensors, drivers can quickly discover available parking spaces, enabling efficient parking lot operations. For large parking lots, we recommend the "Floor Management Method" and "Block Management Method," which focus on cost reduction. Sensors are installed at regular intervals to count and manage the number of passing vehicles. This method offers the advantages of easy installation and low costs. 【Target Products】 - Vehicle Count Sensor CCS2 - Ultrasonic Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 For smaller facilities, we recommend the "Parking Space Management Method," where sensors are installed in each parking space to display availability with high accuracy. By providing reliable occupancy information, this method helps reduce unnecessary entry of new vehicles and ensures safe parking lot operations. 【Target Products】 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-UX2/UW2 - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-LC6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-LC7/LC7-FLS - Occupancy/Pass Detection Sensor HM-S6 - Occupancy Detection Sensor HM-S8

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact on the base material. Repairs can be carried out even in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is kept to a minimum. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

[To the owners of parking lots and parking lot construction companies] "I'm worried about the possibility of colliding with pedestrians when exiting the parking lot..." Among vehicle entrances to parking lots, stores, residences, and factories, those facing sidewalks or roadways are particularly prone to dangerous incidents such as collisions with pedestrians or between vehicles. To alleviate such concerns, Hotron proposes a [Vehicle Exit Warning Sensor] that detects vehicle departures at various sites and alerts the surroundings with LED lights and buzzers. The system consists of a simple configuration of "Sensor" + "Controller" + "Switching Power Supply (24V)" + "LED Rotating Light." *When using the exit warning system, we kindly ask customers to arrange for the switching power supply (24V), LED rotating light, control panel, circuit breaker, etc. Since it can be retrofitted, it can also be used for existing parking lot entrances. [Contents Included] ○ Vehicle Exit Warning System Configuration ○ Comparison Table of Exit Warning Sensors ○ Four Modes ○ Wide Range of Applications ○ Customer Feedback ○ Appearance Diagram / Specifications ◎ For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.
