Rubber-to-Metal Bonding: A Practical Guide to Methods, Adhesives, and Surface Preparation

Your question about how to bond rubber to metal actually has three answers: it depends on your volume of production, the compound involved, and the environment in service. Permanent bonds are best achieved by vulcanization, small repairs or batch work…
Rubber to Metal Bonding: How It Works, Why It Fails, and How to Get It Right

Rubber to metal bonding is the chemical-physical union of two dissimilar materials, an elastomer and a metal substrate, into a single, integral component. Every good engine mount that cushions a vehicle engine’s motion, every anti-vibration bushing that isolates a pμmp…
A Practical Guide to Rubber Injection Molding: Process, Materials & Design Rules

Rubber Injection Molding, describes the process of feeding an uncured rubber compound through a heated barrel and injecting it, under high pressure, into a closed die cavity where, heat and pressure, initiates a vulcanized finished elastomer component. It is currently…
Plastic Injection Molding: A Buyer’s and Engineer’s Guide to Process, Materials, and Cost

Plastic injection molding will transform a thermoplastic resin pellet into a precision molded part at volumes of a few thousand to hundreds of millions per year. If this is your first time purchasing molded components – or the application requires…
