Typical composition (ppr) of natural rubber used for off-shore/marine applications
Typical composition (ppr) of natural rubber used for off-shore/marine applications
(OP)
I've searched through countless websites/papers/data sheets, but I'm having trouble finding even the approximate composition of natural rubber that is used in commercial off-shore/marine applications. I think probably, because it's proprietary information. I need the ppt information, so we can order some test samples. But I'm a mechanical engineer, and my knowledge of rubber is not as deep. Anyways, I would be really interested, if you have some ideas or could point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance!

NR may be suitable for some uses where oil resistance is not critical, but we really do need to know what the intended application is and we need at least an outline specification. Marine applications include offshore rig bushes, shock cells, bearings and seals although NR would not feature in all of them.
One UK research enterprise with expertise in the field is MERL at Hitchin, now known as Element Hitchin following its acquisition by Element Materials Technology.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The application is for offshore wind turbines, so accounting for petroleum is not necessary.
