Rubber Metal Bonding
At MVC Polymers, a leading manufacturer in Bangalore, we specialize in high-quality Rubber to Metal Bonding. This advanced manufacturing process creates a virtually inseparable bond between rubber elastomers and various metal substrates, combining the unique properties of rubber (flexibility, vibration dampening, sealing) with the strength and rigidity of metal. This synergy results in highly durable, high-performance components crucial for demanding industrial, automotive, railway, and aerospace applications. Our expertise ensures reliable adhesion and optimal product integrity.
Integrated Performance: Combines the elasticity, sealing, insulation, and vibration-dampening properties of rubber with the high strength, rigidity, and attachment capabilities of metal.
Strong, Permanent Adhesion: A chemical bond is formed at the molecular level, ensuring the rubber will tear before the bond separates under normal operating conditions. This prevents slip, creep, and fatigue at the interface.
Vibration Isolation & Shock Absorption: The rubber element effectively isolates vibrations and absorbs shock loads, preventing their transmission to other parts of the assembly, while the metal provides structural integrity for mounting.
Noise Reduction: By dampening vibrations and eliminating metal-to-metal contact, bonded components significantly reduce operational noise.
Flexible Articulation & Controlled Movement: Enables controlled movement or deflection between parts without the need for lubrication, often outperforming traditional bearings in certain applications.
Load Bearing Capability: The metal inserts allow the component to handle significant compressive or shear loads, while the rubber accommodates dynamic forces.
Material Versatility (Both Rubber & Metal):
Rubber: Can be bonded with various elastomers like Natural Rubber (NR), EPDM, Nitrile (NBR), Neoprene, Silicone, Viton® (FKM), Butyl, and Polyurethane (PU), each offering specific resistances (temperature, chemicals, oil, abrasion, UV).
Metal: Can be bonded to a wide range of metals including steel (carbon, stainless), aluminum, brass, and bronze, often pre-treated for optimal adhesion.
Environmental Sealing: The robust bond and chosen rubber properties create effective seals against dust, moisture, and fluids.
Electrical Insulation (Optional): Depending on the rubber chosen, the component can also provide electrical isolation.
