Custom Rubber Development

Developing custom rubber compounds is partly art, partly science. The science is based on the known chemical properties of the base elastomer as it relates to its resistance to heat, fluids, ozone, or oxidation. The art of developing a custom rubber compound involves knowing what to add to the selected polymer to make it perform as intended.

With over 35 years of developing elastomers, Poly-Nova has the expertise necessary to select or develop an elastomer compound that will work optimally in your application. We have developed thousands of high performance compounds for a wide variety of industries and applications. Given this wide array of experience, we can create a custom solution for your application in a timely manner.

We Develop the Following Elastomers:

• Fluorosilicone (FVMQ)
• Fluorocarbon (FKM)
• Silicone (VMQ, PVMQ)
• Liquid Silicone (LSR)
• Hydrogenated Nitrile Rubber (HNBR)
• Nitrile Rubber (NBR)
• Carboxylated Nitrile Rubber (X-NBR)
• EPDM
• Polychloroprene Rubber (CR)
• Natural Rubber
