Rubber is a versatile material used across industries ranging from aerospace and manufacturing to pharmaceuticals and laboratory research. Its unique combination of elasticity, durability, and resistance to abrasion and impact makes it a cost-effective material for a wide range of applications.
One set of characteristics is especially important when selecting rubber materials for seals, septa, gaskets, and closures: thermal properties. Understanding how rubber responds to heat and temperature fluctuations helps engineers, laboratory professionals, and manufacturers choose the right material for their application.
