Endurica Founder's Take on Durability
in the Rubber Industry
|
Ten years ago: There was plenty of great academic work and good understanding of fundamentals, but the methods were only deployed – if at all – via “homebuilt” solutions that could never support a broad enough audience to really impact daily product design decisions. Simulation methods and experimental methods shared theoretical foundations but they were poorly integrated....
In 10 years, OEMs will expect durability from all component producers on day 1, even for radical projects. They will expect designs already optimized for cost and weight. They will push more warrantee responsibility to the supplier. They will

Are you challenged to make your rubber products last longer?
Rubber compounds are complex mixtures of polymers, reinforcing fillers, oils / plasticizers, curatives, stabilizers, and other additives that are combined in relatively quick mixing processes. Durability is impacted by all these ingredients, their interactions, and the quality of the mixing
.
This one-day course will teach compounding strategies to improve the strength and lifetime of rubber components.
This specialized training will benefit materials engineers, compounders, rubber chemists, product development engineers, R&D scientists, and rubber lab managers at manufacturers of tires and rubber parts and companies that supply raw materials.
Course Objectives
- Understand how rubber fatigue and failure characteristics are influenced by materials selection and compound structural features
- Learn compounding strategies to improve strength and fatigue lifetime
- Know the right testing methods to characterize rubber durability efficiently in the lab
