Rubber Materials for Manufacturing

In industrial manufacturing applications, custom rubber compounds ensure operational efficiency and component reliability. ALTTRAN specializes in industrial rubber mixing and compounding services, providing tailored rubber compounds for durability that meet the demanding requirements of manufacturing environments. Our rubber materials for industrial manufacturing help companies achieve consistent performance while reducing scrap rates and improving overall product quality.

Through precise rubber compounding for industrial applications, we create compounds that withstand extreme temperatures, chemical exposure, and mechanical stress. We mix a comprehensive range of materials including EPDM, Nitrile (NBR), Neoprene (CR), Natural Rubber, and specialized compounds. Our technical team develops formulations that optimize performance for specific manufacturing processes and operating conditions.
