Our experienced team can solve various challenges from design to production. For any special-shaped rubber grommets, we can achieve a turnaround time as fast as 48 hours from design prototype to production samples.
Rubber grommets are accessories used in wiring equipment, designed to allow wires to pass through holes while protecting them from being cut by sharp edges. They also provide dustproof and waterproof functions. These grommets are widely used in various fields, including electronics, electrical appliances, machinery, sports equipment, furniture, and lighting.
There are many types of rubber materials used for producing rubber grommets. Common materials include Nitrile rubber, Natural rubber, Neoprene, Silicone, and Fluoro rubber. The hardness of these grommets typically ranges from 30 to 60 Shore A. Customers can customize rubber grommets with different materials to suit the specific needs of their products.
Depending on the different applications of rubber grommets and the shape of the holes on the board, rubber grommets are commonly used in the following shapes:
Name | Tmperature Range | Tensile Stregth | Elongation at the Break | Rebound Resilience | Tear Strength | Abrasion Resistance |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Natural Rubber | -40 to 80 ℃ (-40 to 170℉) | Excellent | Excellent | Excellent | Excellent | Excellent |
BUNA-N (NBR) | -35 to 130℃ (-31 to 266℉) | Good | Good | Good | Fair | Good |
FKM | -25 to 300℃ (-13 to 572℉) | Good | Fair | Fair | Good | Good |
Silicone | -75 to 280℃ (-103 to 536℉) | Fair | Excellent | Fair | Fair | Fair |
Neoprene (CR) | -40 to 130℃ (-40 to 266℉) | Good | Good | Good | Good | Good |
EPDM | -50 to 150℃ (-58 to 302℉) | Fair | Fair | Fair | Fair | Good |
SBR | -40 to 70℃ (-40 to 158℉) | Good | Excellent | Good | Good | Excellent |
Natural Rubber Grommets
With high tensile and tear strength, natural rubber grommets are strong and resistant to cracking. They also have good insulation properties.
Buna-N Grommets
Buna-N is the best material for oil resistance among rubber materials. It is ideal for rubber grommets that need to contact oil. NBR has low volume resistance and is a semiconductor rubber material with antistatic properties.
Neoprene Grommets
Neoprene rubber grommets offer excellent heat resistance, ozone aging resistance, and weather resistance. They are suitable for outdoor products and work well in sunlight. Neoprene also has very good flame retardant properties, making it ideal for high flame retardancy products.
FKM Grommets
FKM has high chemical stability and the best medium resistance among elastomers. It is suitable for use in strong acid and alkali environments. Additionally, fluororubber has excellent high-temperature resistance and can work at 300°C for extended periods.
Silicone Grommets
Silicone is suitable for brightly colored grommets. It is safe, environmentally friendly, and can be used for food contact and direct skin contact. As it does not adhere to human tissues, it has anticoagulant properties. It is also suitable for medical products.
