ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

Industrias del Caucho considers the quality of its products to be its greatest responsibility, which is why total control of the product and the assurance of the final specifications is the fundamental basis of our processes. To this end, we have a qualified team in charge of controlling and certifying the quality of the product both in the laboratory and during production.

Given the complexity of the product that Industrias del Caucho manufactures, we show below a table with technical information to facilitate, as far as possible, the choice of the product.

These data are the result of the knowledge we have acquired over the years and should be treated as a mere guide in the selection of the right product.

The large number of substances, the infinite number of possible applications, together with the diversity of application conditions, make it impossible to prove the suitability of every product. We therefore advise you to seek the advice of our experts.

    Capacity and manufacturing tolerances

    We manufacture sheets in thicknesses between 0.5mm and 6mm with widths up to 2000mm, and sheets in thicknesses between 7mm and 50mm with a maximum width of 1500mm.

    We offer different finishes: smooth, matt, different types of printing and adhesive contact layer on one side.

    In addition, we can manufacture with different textile and metallic reinforcements.

    Preservation and storage

    Prolonged storage of vulcanised rubber products in unsuitable conditions can lead to changes in the properties of the product and compromise its performance.

    DIN 7716 and ISO 2230 detail the recommendations to be followed to guarantee the quality of the stored product::

    • Temperatures between 5ºC and 25ºC. In no case exceeding the latter.
    • Dry storage place with some ventilation, avoiding draughts, and free of dust.
    • Items should be protected from any source of heat and water condensation. Relative humidity below 65 %.
    • The articles must be protected from UV radiation and ozone, preferably in hermetically sealed, light-tight packaging. Keep the product away from generators, electric motors and any ozone emitting sources.
    • The storage area must be free of chemicals that may deteriorate the articles, mainly hydrocarbons, solvents and acids.
    CLASSIFICATION OF INITIAL STORAGE PERIOD WITHOUT TECHNICAL INSPECTION EXTENSION OF THE INITIAL PERIOD AFTER A TECHNICAL INSPECTION
    Group A 5 years 2 years
    Group B 7 years 3 years
    Group C 10 years 5 years

    Group A: BR, NR, IR, SBR, AU and EU
    Group B: NBR, H-NBR, X-NBR, IIR, BIIR, CIIR, ACM, CO and ECO
    Group C: CM, CSM, EPM, EPDM, FKM, FFKM, Q, FQM, PMQ, PVMQ, MQ and VMQ,

    In addition, items must be stored in a tension and compression free position while maintaining a horizontal position.
    Suspension and crushing must be avoided, while maintaining stress prevention and minimising product deformation.

    All these recommendations should be taken into account to ensure optimal properties of elastomeric products, especially if the application conditions are severe.

    In any case, our recommendation is that if the storage period of a vulcanised rubber articles exceeds the recommended time (see chart), the material should be thoroughly inspected for deviations in both appearance and mechanics, so that if it does not meet the original specification, it should be discarded.

    Warranties

    IDC ensures that our manufactured products conform to the standard technical characteristics confirmed with the offer, as well as the suitability of the stored product, provided that the indicated storage recommendations according to DIN 7716 and ISO 2230 are complied with.
