Advanced Materials

High-Quality Rubber Compounds 

Our air springs are manufactured using superior rubber compounds that ensure durability and reliability in various demanding environments:

  • Natural Rubber (NR/SBR): Known for its excellent dynamic capabilities and universal properties, suitable for a wide range of applications.
  • Chlorobutyl (CIIR): Offers outstanding resistance to acids and high temperatures, making it ideal for harsh environments.
  • Nitrile (NBR): Provides excellent resistance to oils, fuels, and outdoor conditions, ensuring longevity.
  • Ethylene Propylene Diene (EPDM): Excels in high temperatures and ozone resistance, perfect for outdoor applications.
  • Chloroprene (CR): Combines excellent weather resistance with medium oil resistance, suitable for varied industrial uses.

Reinforcing Fabrics

  • Fabric Plies: Integrated within the rubber compounds, these plies enhance durability and maintain the structural integrity of the air springs under various load conditions. This integration ensures that our air springs can handle significant stress and strain without compromising performance.
