About Hard Rubber
Hard rubber, also known as vulcanite, is a rigid thermosetting plastic created by vulcanizing natural rubber with high sulfur content. It serves critical applications in electrical insulation, chemical equipment, gaskets, seals, and decorative components. Internationally traded forms include sheets, rods, tubes, and molded parts in grades specified by hardness (Shore A/D scales) and chemical resistance properties. Major producers and exporters include India, Indonesia, and China, with significant manufacturing capacity in Eastern Europe. Buyers should verify sulfur content and cure specifications, as improper vulcanization directly impacts brittleness and electrical properties; third-party testing of tensile strength and hardness is essential before large commitments.
