Rubbers

Goodfellow offers a range of natural latex and EPDM rubber for advanced applications in research and industry, providing these versatile elastomers in various forms to meet diverse needs. Rubbers are characterized by their high elasticity, excellent damping properties, and good chemical resistance. These attributes make rubbers particularly valuable in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods. In the automotive sector, rubbers are used for tires, seals, gaskets, and vibration dampening components, benefiting from their ability to maintain performance under varying temperatures and environmental conditions. The aerospace industry utilizes rubbers in fuel systems, O-rings, and insulation materials, taking advantage of their resistance to extreme conditions and ability to maintain a seal. In consumer goods, rubbers find applications in footwear, sporting equipment, and household items. Emerging technologies leveraging rubbers include advanced energy-absorbing materials for safety equipment and smart, responsive elastomers for soft robotics. Goodfellow's provision of rubber materials supports ongoing research in materials science, particularly in the development of sustainable elastomers and high-performance composites. The unique combination of properties in rubbers makes them invaluable in both scientific research and industrial contexts where flexibility, resilience, and sealing capabilities are crucial.
