In demanding industrial environments, material performance is critical—especially when components are exposed to extreme heat and friction-intensive conditions. Rubber, often underestimated, offers impressive resistance to both high temperatures and abrasion, making it a go-to choice in various applications.

At DXTSEALS, we specialize in custom rubber components designed to meet the toughest operational challenges. In this article, we dive deep into the high-temperature and wear-resistant properties of rubber materials and highlight real-world use cases across industries.

🔥 Key Feature 1: High-Temperature Resistance of Rubber Materials

Not all rubber is created equal—certain types are engineered to withstand continuous exposure to high temperatures, up to 250°C or even higher.

Common high-temperature rubber types include:

• Silicone Rubber (VMQ): Performs well from -60°C to 230°C, widely used in food, medical, and automotive industries.

• Fluoroelastomer (Viton®/FKM): Heat resistant up to 250°C, ideal for chemical processing, automotive engines, and aerospace seals.

• EPDM Rubber: Maintains flexibility and performance under temperatures up to 150°C, excellent for steam and outdoor applications.

These rubbers maintain elasticity, compression set, and sealing performance, even in prolonged thermal exposure.

⚙️ Key Feature 2: Excellent Abrasion Resistance

Abrasion resistance is critical in moving parts or high-friction applications. Durable rubber materials can resist surface wear, cracking, and degradation, which significantly extends product life.

Top wear-resistant rubbers include:

• Nitrile Rubber (NBR): Excellent for oil seals and hydraulic systems.

• Polyurethane Rubber: Offers extreme resistance to abrasion and tearing—ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications.

• Natural Rubber (NR): High tensile strength and tear resistance, commonly used in shock-absorbing mounts and tires.

At DXTSEALS, we tailor material formulations to balance hardness, flexibility, and durability based on your specific wear conditions.
