The temperature range of general purpose material is approximately -50 to h-250°C but both ends of the range may be extended by the use of special purpose materials. Whereas the general purpose silicone compounds have a tensile strength of about 1000 Ibf/in (7 MPa) it is possible using fumed silicas to achieve values of up to 20001bf/in (14 MPa). Similarly, whereas the normal cured compounds have a compression set of 20-50% after 24 hours at 150°C, values of as low as 6% may be obtained with the special rubbers. 

Water with solids in suspension Fine abrasives Single suction with end clearance wearing fits. If all particles pass through mesh screen, rubber lined pumps are available which will give many times the life of metal pumps, providing no chemical action or excessive temperature will deteriorate the rubber. Special rubber compounds can be applied to improve resistance to certain chemicals. Open, which allows better application of the rubber, except in larger sizes. Also made in closed type. 

Cyanide solutions are used almost exclusively. One typical solution contains copper cyanide 26 g/1, zinc cyanide 11 g/1, sodium cyanide (total) 45 g/1 and sodium cyanide ( free ) 7 g/l This bath is operated at pH 10.3-11.0, 110 A/m and 27-35 C, with 75 Cu-25 Zn alloy anodes. Many other solutions are used including a special rubber-bonding bath and a high-speed bath which is capable of being used at up to 16 A/dm . ... 

The range of speciality rubber plasticisers on the market includes proprietary products whose compositions are not fully disclosed. In practice, there is considerable overlap in performance between different plasticisers, and for many compounders the use of a particular plasticiser may be related more to continuity of historically proven formulations than to current cost/performance optimisation. 

PC/SAN alloys are blends of polycarbonate (PC), styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) and a special rubber system. The enhanced resistance to therm ageing allows applications such as instrument panel support for the Ford Focus C-MAX, support structures for centre consoles, armrests and cup holders. 

Isobutene is used in the field of elastomers, mainly to manufacture a special rubber, butyl rubber, by copolymerization with small amounts of isopiene. It serves essentially for the manufacture of inner tubes, but its production remains modest and accounts for barely 10 per cent of that of SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber). Isobutene is also used to produce additives for oils (polyisobutenes), detergents (di- and triisobutylenes) and cur rently for the manufacture of MTBE.

The first type of roller found in most laser printers is the feed roller, or paper pickup roller (Figure 7.6). This D-shaped roller, when activated, rotates against the paper and pushes one sheet into the printer. This roller works in conjunction with a special rubber pad to prevent more than one sheet from being fed into the printer at a time. 

There is no doubt that this grade of nitrile rubber is much more resistant to hot lubricating oils and high temperatures than is conventionally stabilized nitrile rubber (see Table 3). The main problem in this approach is the cost of producing a specialized rubber in relatively small quantity. 

The bulk solution is dispensed into the vial from a 0.5 to 2.5 cm height. The amount of solution in the vial is very important for efficient drying. The vials are loosely capped with the special rubber stoppers, and then are put into the vacuum chamber. 

Originally, many drums were coated on the inside with cement or expanded metal to encourage build-up of material as an autogenous wear liner. Different designs of scrapers [B.48], called cutter bar in Fig. 6.8-5, are then installed to control its thickness. More modern installations use a special rubber coating, which prevents buildup and still protects the drum from excessive wear. 

Let us note that this kind of test measures the behavior of the special rubber pieces supporting housings in case of earthquake. And, thus, special attention has been given to the cure process of these kinds of rubber-metal pieces in sandwich form in Chapter 4. It should be said that the motion due to earthquake is far from being vertical, as the horizontal component of the motion is essential and is also the most destructive. 

The applications of the rubbers stem from their important properties, which include thermal stabflity, good electrical insulation properties, nonstick properties, physiological inertness, and retention of elasticity at low temperatures. The temperature range of general-purpose material is approximately — 50°C to -l-250°C, and the range maybe extended with special rubbers. Silicone rubbers are, however, used only as special-purpose materials because of their high cost and inferior mechanical properties at room temperature as compared to conventional rubbers (e.g., natural rubber and SBR). 

PROPERTIES OF SPECIAL INTEREST Standard emulsion SBR is a general purpose rubber. Most widely used synthetic rubber in the world. Better tire tread-wear and aging properties than natural rubber. Good abrasion resistance and crack initiation resistance. Poor in tack and heat build-up. Physical properties are poor without reinforcing fillers. Solution SBR is a speciality rubber and more expensive than emulsion SBR. Solution SBR with high vinyl and styrene levels is used in high performance tire treads to improve wet traction. Also used as impact modifier in plastics and as thermoplastic elastomers. 

The word reinforcement will not be applied to particulate fillers, such as quartz or glass beads, because although these additives do increase the modulus, they cannot be relied on to improve the strength of the resin, nor will the word be applied to speciality rubber toughening agents that are used to improve the impact strength only. 

The product, poly[l,3-cyclopentylenevinylene], is a commercial synthetic specially rubber, with a trade name of Norsorex. Reports in the literature show that there may be more than one mechanism of termination. One of them may be a formation of cyclopropane rings. This is a typical reaction... 

Figure 3 shows that silicone rubbers using this performance evaluation come into the upper bracket. The prices for silicone rubbers, however, are in the middle bracket and thus are much lower compared with speciality rubbers such as HNBR, FPM and MFQ.
