Rubber calendering at Goodyear Rubber is among our core offerings. Calendering processes rubber by forcing the material softened by heat into the center of two to five counter-rotating rollers. The rollers compact the sheet as it passes through them. The thickness of the resulting product gets determined by the gap between the cylinders, called the … Continued
Nitrile rubber seals are manufactured for many uses especially in the aerospace and defense industry, sectors that Goodyear Rubber services. Below are some of the materials used in rubber seals: HPU Polyurethane: This high performance material that handles temperatures from -11 to 230°F, gets used as rod and piston seals in hydraulic cylinders and for … Continued
What is a rubber extrusion and how does it differ from rubber molding? The big difference is that uncured rubber is pushed through a die into an extruder. An extruder is a machine (that costs around $100,000) that applies shear forces to a raw ingredient (like rubber) to make it into a final product. The … Continued
Nearly everything we use contains some type of rubber component. Rubber molding is prevalent in commercial and industrial manufacturing to make toys, shoes, electronic devices, home merchandise, parts for the aerospace industry and countless other products. Manmade synthetic rubbers are also used to create mechanical seals, diving suits, sleeping bags, sewer pipes and for parts … Continued

Sustainable Rubber Company Here at Goodyear We are committed to the Community; building a sustainable future for us all. We are investing an a large (1 megawatt DC) Solar PV system.
When compounding for low temperature applications, here are a few tips: Base the compound on polymers that have low glass transition temperatures With NBR, Nitriles: Select grades of NBR with lower levels of ACN to improve low temperature flexibility Use Low Temperature Oils – Select Oils that are not aromatic. Generally, aromatic process oils impart poor … Continued
I am blogging today about some general rubber mixing concepts for Butadiene and Butyl. This is just in the spirit of imparting lessons we’ve learned and research we’ve done here at Goodyear. These are ideas we’ve learned and accepted as true and necessary to consistently produce great batches of rubber. If there is anything I … Continued
