Build a clear, practical understanding of how rubber type and compounding ingredients determine rubber properties and performance. Learn to translate between application requirements into the right rubber type and understand choices of vulcanization and filler types. Be quipped to select most relevant tests for quality control and troubleshooting.

Who should attend

 
Professionals who use, specify, purchase or test rubber components: Design and R&D engineers, technical sales-, quality- and procurement specialists.
No formal background in chemistry is required.

Key outcomes

  • Understand why different rubbers behave as they do, using accessible chemistry linked to real properties (hardness, modulus, elongation, compression set, heat/oxidation/ozone resistance, oil/fuel/chemical resistance, low temperature flexibility, abrasion, dynamic fatigue).
  • Be able to choose appropriate rubber types for a given environment and understand to translate target properties into ingredient and recipe choices.
  • Improve troubleshooting and quality control by recognizing failure modes and mapping them to root causes in formulation and vulcanization.
  • Communicate more effectively with suppliers and customers about specifications, tolerances, and test data.
