And if you are searching for a new supplier to process your special rubber compound, Graphic Arts is the place to call. We can mix and/or calender your rubber compound, or design one to meet your specific requirements by asking a few simple questions:
- How do you intend to use our product? How will the
product be cured or vulcanized? - What product specifications do you need (ASTM, MILR, SAE, or AMS)
to meet your quality parameters? - Hardness (Durometer — Shore A & D)
- Tensile strength
- Viscosity
- Specific gravity
Open mill mixing
We offer open mill mixing to ensure the best possible dispersion. Material can be supplied in strip or slab form, with or without dip.
Custom calendering
Not to be confused with the calendars you hang on the wall. Our calendering equipment uses the traditional magic of heat and pressure to roll your formula into the specific width and thickness you require.
- Finished in rolls from 2 inches to 62 inches wide
- In thickness from 12 mil (.012) to 375 mil (.375)
