Hi guys,
Im looking for thermally and electrically conductive rubber. Does anybody know a manufacture who makes such a product?

Thanks for your time!

You need to define those properties better. Rubber compounds vary from being very insulative (10 to the 14th ohm-cm) to "semi-conductive" (10-1000 ohm-cm)to actually conductive (actually a collection of conductive particles held together by just a bit of rubber matrix). On the conductive compounds are really heat conductive in any sense. Good luck.

any rubber compounding company can provide conductive
rubber compounds. There a numerous methods of measuring
conductivity of finished rubber products. It mostly
depends upon the application.
Typical values range from 5 x 10 power 4 Ohms for products
used in explosive atmospheres to 10 power 8 Ohms for
general industrial applications . Values above 10 power 8
Ohms can be considered as non conductive.
