Common Issues in Rubber Products and Their Solutions
Wear and Tear
Rubber products can wear out due to constant friction and mechanical stress. This can shorten the product's lifespan and lead to performance loss. Solution: Select rubber materials with high abrasion resistance (such as EPDM, NBR) and ensure regular maintenance.
High Temperature and Cracking
When exposed to high temperatures, rubber can harden, crack, or lose its flexibility. This is especially common in engine compartments or industrial environments. Solution: Use silicone rubber or high-temperature-resistant rubber compounds and conduct regular temperature checks.
Chemical Degradation
Rubber products can deteriorate, swell, or soften when exposed to certain chemicals and oils. Fuel, lubricants, and solvents can especially damage rubber surfaces. Solution: Choose chemically resistant materials (e.g., NBR, Viton) according to the application area.
UV and Ozone Damage
Sunlight and ozone gas can cause rubber products to harden and develop surface cracks over time. This damage progresses faster in outdoor applications. Solution: Use UV- and ozone-resistant rubber types (such as EPDM) and apply protective coatings.
