How Does Rubber Cord It Work?

A rubber cord is a flexible material made from different rubber materials. It is typically prevalent in sealing, cushioning, and vibration damping. Rubber cords can be stretched and compressed without breaking. They come in different shapes, including solid, hollow, and co-extruded.

The physical properties of cord rubber provide reliable and long-lasting performance. When a cord rubber is compressed or stretched, it absorbs the force and resists deformation. As a result, the elastic nature of the rubber returns to its original shape and size when pressure is released. This process results in improved cushioning and vibration-dampening properties.

Rubber cord works as a barrier against different external factors. These factors may include dust, moisture, and forces that can cause damage or impact performance. It also works against vibration and reduces noise. As a result, you will see the application of this product in many industries. The popular sectors are automotive, aerospace, construction, marine, electrical and medical. The manufacturing process for rubber cords typically involves several steps. It includes preparation of the raw materials, extrusion of the cord rubber, vulcanization, and finishing.

 

Rubber Cord Materials

Rubber cords come from various types of rubber materials. Each type of material provides unique properties and capabilities. Here are some of the most popular rubber materials: 

 

Natural Rubber
Natural rubber usually comes from the sap of the Hevea brasiliensis tree. It is a highly versatile polymer. It has excellent strength, flexibility, and elongation properties. As a result, it has become ideal for many applications. The most famous natural rubber cord application sectors are automotive, construction, and marine.

 

Synthetic Rubber
This type of cord rubber comes from an artificial compound. It mimics the properties of natural rubber. Synthetic rubber offers enhanced durability and resistance to harsh environmental conditions. However, some most popular synthetic rubber cords are:
Silicone Rubber: These rubber cords are famous for high-temperature and chemical resistance. It is often found in medical, food processing, and automotive applications.
EPDM Rubber: These rubber cords resist weathering, UV radiation, and ozone. As a result, these rubber cords are extremely popular in HVAC applications. HVAC may include automotive, construction, and marine sectors.
Neoprene rubber: These rubber cords offer excellent oil and chemical resistance properties. In addition, it is also prevalent in weathering and ozone resistance. However, it is often commonplace in marine, construction, and electrical applications.
Other artificial rubber cords: Many synthetic rubbers are available in the market. Some types are nitrile rubber, viton rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber, and butyl rubber. These materials are prevalent in various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and construction.

 

Thermoplastic Rubber
TPR, or thermoplastic rubber, is another type of rubber that combines the properties of rubber and plastic. TPR cords offer excellent durability, flexibility, and resistance to harsh environments. However, they are trendy in consumer products. Some of the most popular products are toys, sporting goods, and industrial and automotive applications.

 

Choosing The Right Rubber Cord

Temperature Resistance: This factor determines the rubber cord’s ability to withstand extreme temperatures. In this case, the right cord will maintain its properties and performance at the temperature range of the application.

 

Chemical Resistance: This factor determines the ability to withstand exposure to different chemicals. The selected cord rubber must be compatible with the chemicals it will contact. It prevents the chemical degradation and failure of the rubber cords.

 

Abrasion Resistance: This factor determines the ability to withstand exposure to abrasive environments. In this case, selecting the ideal rubber cords will prevent damage and premature failure.

Compression set resistance is the permanent deformation of rubber cords when compressed. This factor is critical to consider while selecting the appropriate cord rubber. It involves prolonged compression and determines the cord’s ability to retain its original shape.

 

UV resistance: When selecting the best rubber cord for your application, it is also essential to consider. It determines the ability of rubber cords to withstand exposure to sunlight. It is important to note that high UV radiation may degrade and create cracks in rubber products.

 

 

Which Rubber Cord Materials are Suited for Abrasion Resistance?
1

Neoprene
Neoprene is multipurpose elastomer for a good reason – it can withstand a lot of challenges. That durability includes excellent abrasion resistance, along with good weathering resistance and solid oil resistance. When it comes to abrasion, the only downside of Neoprene is that it's so versatile that you might be able to find a more cost-effective alternative.

2

Nitrile
A lot of what you can say about Neoprene also applies to Nitrile. Both materials share excellent abrasion resistance and the ability to thrive in environments with oil. The major differences are that Nitrile struggles with weathering and sunlight, but can survive even more exposure to oil. Either way both Neoprene and Nitrile aren't going to let you down when it comes to abrasion.

3

Natural Rubber
While many applications call for synthetic rubbers, natural rubber is a great option for physically demanding applications. Natural rubber parts can regularly take a beating, making them ideal for agitators, rollers, and other parts – just don't ask them to last outdoors or in environments with oils or solvents.

4

Viton
Viton was originally made to last in outer space, so demanding environments are no challenge for this material. This fluoroelastomer polymer can withstand abrasion, tearing, oils, solvents, weathering, and just about everything you can throw at it. Of course, that may make Viton overqualified for your application if you're looking for more cost-effective materials.

5

EPDM
EPDM, more formally known as Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer, is an extremely versatile, cost-effective rubber materials. EPDM offers good resistance to abrasion, weathering, and other long-term challenges, making it a very durable part. Oils and solvents and one of the few drawbacks to using EPDM, so keep that in mind if either of those are present in your application.

6

Silicone
Silicone is mostly known as an excellent high-temperature rubber, but it can struggle with more physically demanding applications. Formulations of silicone will provide fair to poor abrasion resistance, making it a less optimal choice if regular wear and tear is a major factor.

7

Butyl
Butyl is well-regarded for its durability and shock absorption, but it can struggle with abrasion. This material is great for manufacturing shock mounts and liners, but scratching and scraping will wear Butyl down quicker than other available rubbers.
