I have ran sulfur around LSR in small quantities at a couple of plants but never next to each other in long production runs. I have ran them in the same press and I understand the clean out involved. Kind of the same situation as some HCRs. I have a big order coming in and wanted to make sure...

Does anyone have any first hand knowledge of where running a sulfur cured material in the same building as an LSR caused a problem?

A 15F change in room temperature would not change the process. The barrel should be regulated by a thermolator to maintain the barrel temperature that you want. A 15 degree hotter environment that the rubber is stored in could have an affect over a long period of time.

Teflon would not work in my application because whatever I would use can not change the flex properties. Thanks for the response though.

Anyone know of a good way to reduce the coefficient of friction of silicone? I know of and tried, corona, flame, parylene, talc and many others. I cannot use any powders and need something to help bowl feeding. Anyone ever heard of oxy-glazing?

Looks like they are a rubber part supplier and not a material mixing company. Or am I wrong?

Do you have a website or a location for Newman

Mainly Nitrile, EPDM, and Butyl.

Anyone know of any good uncured rubber suppliers here in the U.S. that can handled colored FDA and pharma grade requests?

Anyone have any information on biodegradability of nitrile?

Thank you

Does anyone know if LSR is compatible with sodium chlorite?

Can someone tell me what the key physical property is for snap back or hysteresis of a material is? I can find some correlation with durometer with LSR, but I was looking for a more accurate measurement then durometer. Would modulus be more accurate?

Sorry, no it doesn't.

My guess is bromobutyl. I know this compound use to be used in RC car tires.
