Tensile strength is one of the most widely specified mechanical properties in elastomer selection. It represents the maximum stress a rubber compound can withstand before rupture , typically measured according to: ASTM D412 ISO 37 However, tensile strength is not purely a polymer property. It depends on: Polymer backbone chemistry Molecular weight Crosslink density and cure system Filler type and dispersion Processing conditions Understanding how different elastomers achieve

Platinum-cured silicone rubber is widely used in food-grade and hygienic applications due to its purity, stability, and excellent resistance to temperature and chemicals. Compared to peroxide-cured systems, platinum curing (also known as addition curing) produces a cleaner elastomer with superior performance characteristics, making it the preferred choice where food contact compliance is critical. What Is Platinum-Cured Silicone Rubber? Platinum-cured silicone rubber is cross

In rubber compounding, precise control of cure behaviour is essential to ensure repeatable processing and consistent end-use performance. Rheometer testing is a fundamental analytical tool used to characterise the vulcanisation kinetics of rubber compounds and to verify compound quality prior to production. Overview of Rheometer Testing A rubber rheometer measures the torque response of a compound under oscillatory shear at a controlled temperature. As the rubber transition

MOR Industries is pleased to announce that we will be attending the Clark Rubber Expo in Perth this August 2026 . The Clark Rubber Expo is a key industry event, bringing together suppliers, manufacturers, and industry professionals from across Australia to showcase products, innovations, and solutions within the rubber and industrial sectors. We’re excited to be part of this event and to connect with customers, partners, and industry peers from Western Australia and beyond. A
