Laboratory deformation of elastomers
Laboratory analysis of elastomer deformation
What is an elastomer?
An elastomer, more commonly known as rubber, is a polymer with elastic properties that allow it to withstand several deformation actions before breaking. An elastomer can be of natural, synthetic or petrochemical origin.
Commonly used in the manufacture of tires, elastomers are also used in other industrial fields in the form of joints, elastic connections or hoses, and are often associated with other materials such as textiles, metals or plastics.
Why deform an elastomer?
The deformation of an elastomer is a method allowing, with the help of various chemical analysis, to determine the nature and the quantity of raw material of the material.
Moreover, it allows to better know the studied elastomer, to better apprehend the structural problems of this one but also to characterize its defective quality.
Thus, the deformation of an elastomer makes it possible to improve the performance of a material, to better target your suppliers or to understand the origin of a degradation.
FILAB supports you in the deformation analysis of your elastomers.
This deformation analysis approach allows to answer different needs such as
