Technology
We provide solutions to solve our customers’ challenges.
Over sixty years experience of bonded rubber to metal technology has established a very large product portfolio with its associated service life experience. Use of this knowledge is now combined with simulation techniques e.g. finite element analysis and multi body vibration analysis software, to enable us to assess future challenges with greater confidence.
These can then be combined with new/alternative materials, including composites and special metals, to generate products with the life expectancy demanded, and in the environment associated with our non-automotive customers.
Process technologies are also constantly under review to ensure both compliance to environmental regulations and optimisation of materials from a manufacturing and customer point of view. Adoption of aqueous adhesives and protective finishes are crucial to our technology development, together with continuous review of compound formulations to suit a broad range of product performance and environmental conditions.
Unfortunately our products are not generally suitable for any form of recycling at the end of their working life.
Disposal should be considered by the customer as either recovery of the metal content, and/or landfill disposal of the residue.
