At Harwood Rubber Products, we specialize in crafting industrial rubber rollers and custom rubber parts for many industries. Today, we’re featuring four of the many valuable materials we work with: Nitrile Rubber, Isoprene Rubber, Silicone, and Hypalon. Each plays a vital role due to their unique properties & characteristics. 

Nitrile Rubber is known for its exceptional resistance to oils, fuels and other messy fluids. It offers durability, high tensile strength and abrasion resistance useful in extreme cases such as automotive and aerospace applications. 

Isoprene Rubber, also known as Natural Rubber, features outstanding elasticity and low heat buildup. Outside of rubber rollers, it often finds itself to be useful for textile and paper industries, providing excellent grip and impact absorption perfect for high-demand applications. 

Silicone rubber stands out for its electrical insulation properties and extreme temperature resistance, ranging from -150°F to 480°F. It is chemically stable and weather resistant, able to withstand extended exposure to oxygen, wind, rain, UV, and ozone. Its non-toxic nature makes it suitable for medical and food processing applications. FDA-approved grades of Silicone ensure safety and efficiency in critical environments. 

Hypalon, or Chlorosulfonated Polyethylene, offers excellent resistance to ozone, weathering, high temperatures and chemicals. Commonly used in roofing systems, automotive industries and chemical-resistant liners, it offers superior longevity and performance under stress. 

But our expertise doesn’t stop there. Harwood Rubber Products also works with a variety of other materials to meet your specific needs 

For unique applications, we provide a variety of durometers and can develop custom compounds that meet MSHA and FDA requirements. 

At Harwood Rubber Products, we’re committed to delivering the perfect rubber solution for your production process. Let us help you choose the right material for your application, ensuring durability, reliability, and optimal performance.
