Elastomers and Thermoplastics: NOVACOM Expertise
NOVACOM, a manufacturer of industrial suction cups for over 30 years, is renowned for its expertise in the design and production of suction cups made from elastomers and thermoplastics. These versatile materials, essential in many industrial sectors, offer exceptional mechanical and chemical properties, making them ideal solutions for the most demanding applications.
The Advantages of Elastomers and Thermoplastics
Thanks to their unique composition, elastomers and thermoplastics are high-performance materials that stand out for several key characteristics:
- Flexibility and elasticity, ensuring excellent adaptation to complex shapes (elastomers).
- Abrasion resistance, ideal for rough or abrasive surfaces (elastomers).
- Ability to withstand extreme temperatures, depending on the type of material used (nitrile, silicone, EPDM, thermoplastics, etc.).
- Chemical compatibility with oils, greases, or mild chemicals (elastomers and some thermoplastics).
- Ease of recycling and processing, inherent to thermoplastics, allowing efficient reuse and quick adaptation to specific needs.
These qualities make them a preferred choice for industries such as automotive, food processing, logistics, and many others.
