It’s the special mixture that does it
Here you will find a list of the elastomers currently used by our company. We purchase the basic components for our products from experienced and reliable rubber and special elastomer compounders. All materials have been produced to comply with our specific requirements. This means that we are able to adapt our materials to suit your special demands and end products.
