Rubber classification

Rubber classification

Classification according to source and use: natural rubber, synthetic rubber; Synthetic rubber is also divided into general synthetic rubber and special synthetic rubber. Natural rubber Natural rubber mainly comes from clover rubber trees. When the skin of this rubber tree is cut, milky juice, called latex, will flow out. The latex can be condensed, washed, shaped and dried to obtain natural rubber. Synthetic rubber is made by artificial synthesis. Different kinds of rubber can be synthesized by using different raw materials (monomers). From 1900 to 1910, chemist C.D. Harris determined that the structure of natural rubber was a polymer of…

Processing of rubber products

The processing process of rubber products includes basic processes such as plasticizing, mixing, calendering or extruding, molding and vulcanizing. Each process has different requirements for products, which are supported by several auxiliary operations. In order to add various required ingredients to the rubber, the raw rubber must first be plasticized to improve its plasticity; Then, carbon black and various rubber additives are uniformly mixed with rubber to form rubber compound through mixing; The rubber is pressed into a blank with a certain shape; Then, it is combined with the calendered and glued textile materials (or metal materials) to form a…

Principle and application of rubber sealing ring damping pad

Principle and application of rubber sealing ring damping pad

Natural rubber and neoprene rubber are generally used as rubber damping pads. Nitrile rubber is required for oil resistance, silicon rubber is required for high and low temperature resistance, and butyl rubber is required for high damping. The manufacturing process of rubber shock pad products is similar to model products except that rubber air springs are similar to tires. It is usually made into supports or connectors and widely used in various vehicles, ships, machinery, instruments, bridges and buildings to eliminate or mitigate the adverse consequences of vibration. Rubber is characterized by both high elasticity and high viscosity. The elasticity…

Precautions when installing seals

Precautions when installing seals

1. Do not damage the sealing surface or sealing line of the sealing element surface The sealing performance of plane seals depends on the upper and lower end faces; The sealing performance of hydraulic seals depends on the lip line associated with the hole or shaft. These parts are composed of special materials that are soft and resilient, which are resistant to temperature, corrosion and aging, such as graphite, rubber, plastic and fiber, which are vulnerable to damage. Therefore, special protection and care should be given in the process of handling, installation and pipe protection. Once damaged, it often leaves…

Physicochemical properties of hydrogenated nitrile rubber O-ring

Physicochemical properties of hydrogenated nitrile rubber O-ring

Hydrogenated nitrile rubber is obtained by selectively hydrogenating butadiene group in nitrile rubber. The performance of hydrogenated nitrile rubber O-ring seals depends on the content of CAN (18% - 50%) and carbon carbon bond saturation. Its main characteristics are: good heat resistance, organic peroxide vulcanized materials can be used continuously for more than 1000 hours at 160 ℃, while NBR loses its continuous use value at 150 ℃; The oil resistance is excellent, and the performance of oil resistance and alcohol based oil resistance is greatly superior to the corresponding NBR and NBR/PVC blends; Low temperature resistance is better than…

Main Performance and Sealing Principle of Y-shaped Seal Ring

Main Performance and Sealing Principle of Y-shaped Seal Ring

1. Main performance The section of the Y-shaped seal ring is Y-shaped, which is a typical lip shaped seal ring. It can be divided into wide type, narrow type and Yx type according to the different proportion of height and width of its section. According to whether the two lips are equal in height, they can be divided into Y-shaped seal rings with equal height for shafts and holes, Y-shaped seal rings with unequal height for shafts and Y-shaped seal rings for holes, Y-shaped sealing ring is widely used in reciprocating sealing device, and its service life is longer than…

Main Failure Causes of O-ring and Its Preventive Measures

Main Failure Causes of O-ring and Its Preventive Measures

Improper design and use of O-ring will accelerate its damage and lose its sealing performance. The experiment shows that if each part of the sealing device is reasonably designed and the pressure is simply increased, the O-ring will not be damaged. Under the working conditions of high pressure and high temperature, the main reasons for O-ring damage are the permanent deformation of O-ring materials and the gap bite caused by O-ring being squeezed into the sealing gap. The primary O-ring appears distorted during movement. 1. Permanent deformation Because the synthetic rubber material used for O-ring seal ring is viscoelastic material,…

Leakage of sealing gasket

Leakage of sealing gasket

Generally, there are four types of gasket leakage: interface leakage, seepage leakage, diffusion leakage and damage leakage. Interface leakage: leakage will occur on the sealing interface due to insufficient gasket compression, improper flange joint surface finish, flange deformation, etc. For the leakage at the interface, it can be prevented by clamping it in the flange face with soft cushion. Infiltration and leakage: as the material of soft material is mostly fiber, it is easy to be soaked by medium, especially under pressure. Due to capillarity, the medium will permeate to the low-pressure side, forming infiltration. Diffusion leakage: under the promotion…
