I am in charge of designing a part but I am not familiar with plastics or rubber. I was hoping some of you pros could help. Here is what I need:
This part will be used as an insert compressed between two stationary metal pieces. The part is to prevent scratching or damage to metal pieces, but needs to provide some "grip" as to minimize twisting and slippage.
1. Part needs to be molded (odd in shape)
2. Coefficient of friction needs to be as high as possible
3. UV stable
4. Thickness of part will range from .125"-.375"
I have considered rubber but I'm concerned about the "squish factor." Maybe a very hard rubber??
