31.10.2017 | Marking of Elastomere Parts
back to overviewIt happens very frequently that customers wish a marking on their moulded rubber parts, for instance a company logo, an article or batch number, a date stamp or a warning sign. What is a daily routine on thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics, is not so easily feasible on elastomers because of efflorescences and elasticity exigences.
Marking on elastomers such as for instance NBR, EPDM, FPM, are very demanding because they have to meet many criteria: elastic dye, resistance against efflorescences, consistency in the colour and longevity, just to name a few.
Kubo Form, together with a specialized supplier, has developed a special procedure, by which the dyes are produced according to special dye-mixing requirements and formulations. Thus, the specific requirements for the marking of elastomer parts can be met in a very satisfactory way. Kubo therefore is one of the very few suppliers on the market able to offer any kind of marking on elastomers. Thanks to the special pre-treatment of the elastomer and the post-treatment of the applied dye there are no more limits to design, shape and type of marking. As an example, illustrating the marking on different roughnesses of surfaces we have printed our logo on our sample mats for eroded structures (cf. Image). This kind of sample mat is designed to show our customers the possible eroded structures for a visible moulded rubber part or single visible surfaces.
Do you wish a sample mat of your required elastomer with a sample marking? We are happy to produce one for you.

He will be pleased to advise you in all technical questions concerning moulded rubber parts and their marking.
