Rubber compounds

“The choice of raw materials is very important. It is important to us that our rubber compounds are of high quality, reliable and meet all the criteria.”

- Ms. Mira Juutilainen, R&D Manager in Teknikum Group

(M.Sc. Plastics and Elastomers & M. Sc. Material Chemistry), sums up her work in the product development of rubber compounds that is based on European chemical legislation.

This black compound includes 60% renewable natural rubber materials of which 15% is recycled. The compound is highly durable and suitable for abrasive materials.

This compound is designed for Teknikum GRANIT®, TITAN and CARBON hose series.

Teknikum ChemicalSafe™ EPDM blue

This blue EPDM based rubber compound is flame retardant, chemical resistant, safe and suitable for moderately corrosive chemicals such as alkalis, ketones, alcohols and acids.

This compound is used for Teknikum MULTI-TEK® SD UPE Clean, FOOD-TEK D Clean.

Teknikum ChemicalSafe™ EPDM black antistatic

This black EPDM based rubber compound is antistatic, flame retardant, chemical resistant, safe and suitable for moderately corrosive chemicals such as alkalis, ketones, alcohols and acids.

This compound is used for Teknikum CHEMO-TEK® SD EPDM and MULTI-TEK® series.

Teknikum® Rubber Compounds for Hoses Inner Lining

Teknikum WearGrey™ NR

This grey compound includes 40% renewable natural rubber material. The compound is highly durable and suitable for abrasive materials. Compared to our light NR compound, Teknikum WearGrey™ NR is more tear resistant and long-lasting in applications including transferring sharp materials. This compound is not antistatic.

This inner lining compound is designed for Teknikum GRANIT®, TITAN and CARBON series.

Teknikum WearLight NR™ renewable

This brown/multicolor compound includes 80% renewable natural rubber material. The compound is highly durable and suitable for abrasive materials. This compound is not antistatic.

This inner lining compound is designed for Teknikum GRANIT®, TITAN and CARBON hose series.

Teknikum WearBlack™ SBR antistatic

This black compound includes 10% renewable natural rubber materials. The compound is antistatic, highly durable and suitable for abrasive materials.

This inner lining compound is designed for Antistatic versions of Teknikum GRANIT®, TITAN and CARBON hose series.

Teknikum WEAR SAFE™ Black 40 or 60

Natural rubber and butadiene rubber mixture based on black soft rubber, which is highly resistant to various abrasive slurries. This proven compound is used in mining environment, seawater applications and various process industry applications.

The hardness 40 ShA is great for abrasion resistance supported by excellent resilience to stand flexible surface for material flow.

The hardness 60 ShA is great for tear resistance supported by excellent resilience to stand flexible surface for material flow.

Developed for the mining industry, e.g. material transfer at concentration plants and tailings pipelines.

Autoclave vulcanization.

Teknikum WEAR SAFE™ Red 40

Natural rubber and butadiene rubber mixture based on black soft rubber compound, which is highly resistant to various abrasive slurries used at mining environment and other process industry applications.

The hardness 40 ShA is great for abrasion resistance supported by excellent resilience to stand flexible surface for material flow.

Developed for the mining industry, e.g. material transfer at concentration plants and tailings pipelines. The red color allows use as visual wear indicator in case of two (2) layers of rubber lining is placed (black soft rubber lining on top).

Autoclave vulcanization.

Teknikum CLEAN SAFE™ FDA

Natural rubber based white soft rubber, which is resistant to various cleaning agents and aqueous solutions. This compound is FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 (e) approved material and based on natural rubber (NR) and styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) mix.

This rubber compound is specially developed for rubber lining applications where low migration of any chemicals from the lining is critical, such as nuclear power plants, clean water lines of ships or food contact applications.

Autoclave vulcanization.
