What’s the difference between durometer and modulus for molded rubber products? Durometer is a measure of a rubber’s resistance to indentation. More commonly, however, it’s known as a measure of hardness. Modulus is the stress or force that’s required to produce a strain, the change in length or shape when a force is applied, divided by the original length or …
Flashless Rubber Molding
Flashless molding uses precision tooling to mold rubber parts with only small amounts of flash. The tooling is more expensive, but flashless molds reduce costs over time by eliminating secondary operations.
