When two surfaces come into contact with each other, friction and other issues can happen. Rubber seals are the ideal solution for not only reducing friction, but they also prevent water leakage, water damage, corrosion and weathering. On top of this, they will keep...

Regardless of their purpose, machines vibrate on some level. While a minimum amount of vibration is not an issue, an abnormal amount of it will cause problems, such as friction, excessive noise, imbalances and even complete failure. As a result, industries that...

Drilling rigs, workover rigs, and swabbing units are mostly exposed to fluids and debris. The exposure of these rigs and units to these elements calls for materials that can withstand damages from water, soil, mud, and others in the long run. Importance of Drill Rods...

Over the years, the demand for rubber products has grown substantially. Although vehicle tyres are partially responsible for this increase in demand, numerous other products are made from rubber and range from seals to check valves. While other industries also depend...

The drainage industry exists to empty out waste materials, to clear the spoils of life and the overflows that nature throws at our properties. The simplest piped drainage systems empty out bath waters and showers in small residences. At the other end of the spectrum,...

Engineering rubbers have transformed the mining industry. The same can be said for the manufacturing sector and for construction sites. Staying with mining, custom made rubber products make mines more productive. Let's back up that statement with a few facts. Steel...

Without beating around the proverbial bush, FRAS (Fire Resistant and Anti-Static) products in underground mines are those that minimize dangerous site ignitability hazards. The products described here only serve to prove one hard fact: There can be no gambling, no...

A heavy emphasis is placed on worker safety when designing underground mines. Huge efforts are made to provide a risk-free environment down there among the tunnels and vaulted subterranean chambers. That's why there are steel-laced supports in every passageway to...
