Global Logistics: How RubberQ Exports to Europe, North America, and Asia

Problem Statement

Global logistics for rubber components face challenges in maintaining material integrity during transit. Temperature fluctuations, humidity, and chemical exposure can degrade rubber properties, leading to compression set failure or chemical resistance loss.

Material Science Analysis

Standard rubber materials like NBR degrade under prolonged exposure to high humidity and fluctuating temperatures. FKM and EPDM excel due to their stable molecular structure. FKM’s fluorine content ensures chemical resistance, while EPDM’s saturated backbone resists ozone and UV degradation.

Technical Specs

• FKM: Shore A Hardness 75, Tensile Strength 15 MPa, Elongation at Break 200%, Temperature Range -20°C to 200°C
• EPDM: Shore A Hardness 70, Tensile Strength 12 MPa, Elongation at Break 300%, Temperature Range -40°C to 150°C
• NBR: Shore A Hardness 65, Tensile Strength 10 MPa, Elongation at Break 250%, Temperature Range -30°C to 120°C

Technical Comparison

Material	Temperature Range (°C)	Compression Set (%)	Chemical Resistance
FKM	-20 to 200	15	Excellent
EPDM	-40 to 150	20	Good
NBR	-30 to 120	25	Moderate
