When a design and manufacturing group called Custom Rubber Corp., they were in trouble. A new product was getting closer and closer to launch, and a small, previously insignificant rubber seal was failing, leading to the entire failure of the device. The design group had been working with a Chinese rubber manufacturer for months, with no success.
Custom Rubber Corp. was able to step in and work to improve the design of the seal slightly, and also identify a rubber material that would not degrade when exposed to various perfumes, exotic oils, and extracts. Working with our strategic material suppliers and taking advantage of a number of their chemists, Custom Rubber was able to rapidly test a number of rubber compounds and identify the optimal compound for the application.
