There are many industries heavily relying on the likes of rubber grommets. Pretty much every industry in the world, including the grommet manufacturing industry, relies on rubber grommets in more ways than one. For that special reason, we manufacturer industrial grommets – grommets specially designed and thought out for industrial use. Naturally, just because some things are called industrial doesn’t mean that they don’t have an application in another field. For instance, most industrial grommets can be applied in everyday life for something as simple as levelling a crooked table.

But why do industries rely on these small rubber attachments? Well, it is quite simple, really. Speaking from experience, industrial machinery operates a certain way. It gets either really hot or really cold. It gets really messy; it handles dangerous, toxic and abrasive chemicals, deals with high voltage, so and so forth. For those reasons, companies in certain industries need to rely upon something durable and resistant to many factors, and that’s exactly what industrial grommets are.

The industrial grommets can be made from different rubbers like natural rubber, neoprene, buna-N, FKM, EPDM, nitrile, silicone and so on. All of these are great in their own way. Some of them offer brilliant temperature resilience, ranging from negative 40 degrees Celsius and all the way up to 300 degrees Celsius. In addition to that, some of these are also chemically stable, which means they can be used in harsh conditions where a lot of potentially abrasive chemicals are being used – like in tanneries. But, as we all know, the main use-case scenario for rubber grommets is protecting cabling from nicks and tears and plugging particular openings. Both of these are possible with industrial grommets – it is just a matter of choosing the right type. Hole industrial grommets would help with cables, while plugs will help with the other thing.
