Rubber seals are primarily used to prevent water, oil, dust, and other impurities from entering mechanical components, making them widely used across various industries. There are many classifications of rubber materials used in seals, and below, HAISUN Rubber introduces the classification of rubber materials to help you choose the most suitable material.

1. Based on the Source and Processing of Raw Materials:

Rubber in seal materials can be divided into two main categories: natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber accounts for one-third of production, while synthetic rubber accounts for two-thirds.

2. Based on the Surface Form of Rubber:

Rubber in seal materials can be classified into solid rubber (also known as dry rubber), latex rubber, liquid rubber, and powder rubber.

3. Based on Rubber Properties and Applications:

Apart from natural rubber, synthetic rubber in seal materials can be categorized as general-purpose synthetic rubber, semi-general synthetic rubber, special synthetic rubber, and specialty synthetic rubber.

4. Based on the Physical Form of Rubber:

Rubber can be classified as hard rubber, soft rubber, raw rubber, and compounded rubber.

5. Classification of Rubber in Industrial Applications:

In industrial applications, rubber can be further classified based on properties such as heat resistance and oil resistance into categories like ordinary rubber, heat-resistant rubber, oil-resistant rubber, weather-resistant aging rubber, and special chemical-resistant rubber.
