Compound development:- where they will develop a rubber compound to your specification, or help you develop a specification to meet the end use requirements of the compound based on expected performance. The compound will also be developed with the method of manufacture in mind such as injection molding, extrusion or calendaring.

They can provide detailed advice to help you overcome any processing problems you may have, for example on such things as the best cure time and temperature, which is the most suitable mould release for a particular compound, as well as advice on tooling.

Our technologists have available sophisticated analytical equipment such as Thermal Gravametric Analiser TGA and Differential Scanning Calorimeter DSC, which enables them to identify unknown compounds and determine chemical reactions such as cure and glass transition.

Another important service offered is unbiased advice on material selection. There are many similar materials manufactured and it is often difficult to get an unbiased recommendation from a polymer supplier. We will recommend the best polymer for the job, which offers the best value for money.

Customers have the opportunity to send their employees to our factory where we can give them tailored basic training.

Finally the technical department recognises that a fast response is often necessary when providing quotations for compound and in many instances they can supply the information within 24 hours.
