Rubber is often considered a simple, flexible industrial material, but different rubber compounds can have significant differences in performance. A material that works well for an outdoor seal may not be suitable for an oil-resistant component, and a soft rubber designed for cushioning may fail in a high-load application. In this guide, we will explore […]

Rubber parts are often used in environments where they come into contact with oils, fuels, lubricants, or hydraulic fluids. However, not all rubber materials can maintain their performance when exposed to oil. Some may swell, soften, crack, or lose their sealing ability over time, leading to equipment failure or reduced service life. Oil resistant rubber

When selecting engineering plastics for injection molded parts, POM and nylon are often two of the most commonly considered options. At first glance, they may seem similar—both are strong, wear-resistant thermoplastics used in mechanical components. However, their material behavior is quite different in real-world use. In this article, we will break down what POM and

If you pick up a plastic lunch box, a water bottle, or even a disposable spoon, you will often see the phrase “food grade” printed somewhere on it. It sounds reassuring—but it also raises a simple question: what exactly makes a plastic “food grade”? Is it a special type of plastic, or just a safety
