What are the best practices for storage and handling of IR rubber compound?

IR Rubber Compound is a type of rubber material that is widely used in a variety of industries. This compound has excellent properties such as high tensile strength, good resistance to heat and chemicals, and low compression set. Additionally, IR Rubber Compound is very versatile and can be used in applications ranging from automotive and aerospace industries to medical and food processing.

What are the best practices for storage and handling of IR rubber compound?

Proper storage and handling of IR rubber compound is important to maintain its quality and prolong its shelf life. Some best practices include:

1. Store the compound in a cool, dry and dark place to prevent exposure to sunlight, heat, and humidity.
2. Do not stack the containers too high to avoid deformation or damage to the compound.
3. Keep the compound away from sources of ignition, such as oil, grease, and solvents.
4. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for handling and storage of the compound.

What are the common applications of IR rubber compound?

IR rubber compound is used in a variety of industries, including:

• Automotive: IR rubber compound is used to make tires, belts, hoses, and other components of vehicles.
• Aerospace: IR rubber compound is used to make seals, gaskets, and other components that can withstand high temperatures and pressure.
• Medical: IR rubber compound is used to make medical devices, like gloves and tubing, due to its biocompatibility and resistance to chemicals.
• Food processing: IR rubber compound is used to make seals and gaskets that can withstand high temperatures and are resistant to chemicals used in the food industry.

Can IR rubber compound be recycled?

Yes, IR rubber compound can be recycled through a process called devulcanization, which breaks down the sulfur cross-links in the rubber. This process results in a material that can be remolded to make new products while reducing waste.

In conclusion, IR rubber compound is a versatile and essential material used in many industries. Proper storage and handling can help maintain its quality and prolong its shelf life. With its unique properties, IR rubber compound is expected to continue to find applications in a variety of fields.
