RUBBER/ELASTOMER
Complex, high-precision rubber and elastomer parts resist stress and damage from outdoor environments. Soucy offers expertise in analyzing and controlling noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) for all rubber parts. The geometry and rubber compound are optimized so that the part has the properties desired, while also offering the advantage of reduced noise and vibration.
WHY RUBBER/ELASTOMER
NHL pucks
Over 400,000 pucks are produced every year for the NHL.
Rubber: a piece of cake?
Over 20 ingredients go into a rubber compound.
From shoes to motorcycles parts
A single line can manufacture both shoe soles and motorcycle parts.
A RANGE OF POSSIBILITIES
Rubber vulcanization, combined with a high-quality compound, produces a part that is highly resistant to weather conditions, wear and tear, heat, abrasion and radiation. Soucy analyzes the part’s geometry, as well as the environment in which it will be used and its estimated annual usage (EAU), to determine which rubber molding process is most suitable. Elastomer can also be used to coat a metal or plastic insert, which is called overmolding. Bonding rubber to metal in this way combines the qualities of both materials.
