Tough, durable and resilient materials which maintain high levels of chemical and thermal resistance in harsh environments are vital to this industry.

Clwyd Compounders have been involved in developing compounds for a number of projects, ranging from tank tracks to personal protection equipment, and continue to work closely with both raw material suppliers and our customers to ensure that we are offering the latest technology.

Many applications demand compounds which must conform to stringent specifications – in some instances these were laid down many years ago. We can advise on how these can be updated; for example, where the specified test fluids are no longer available.

Polymers which are widely used in this industry include NR, NBR, CR, VMQ (silicone) and FKM.
