Here are a few of these reasons why designers choose rubber.
It can be changed over a temperature range from 80”C to +300”C
It is available in a wide range of colors
It can be electricity insulating, conductive or ant-static
It can with stand extremes of weather and outdoor environments indefinitely
It can withstand exposure to fuels, oils and chemicals while retaining its properties
It can be made flame retardant and self extinguishing, with halogen free & smoke suppressant types available
It can maintain tension and compression forces indefinitely for example in seals
It is comfortable, adaptable and can accommodate movement, shock, thermal and changes and roughness
It can absorb vibration and noise and act as an insulator
It can be gas tight and used as a fluid seal or separator
It has low thermal conductivity and can be used to reduce heat transfer
It has friction properties similar to human skin and is comfortable to grip
It can have clean, smooth surface which is non-stick suitable for hygienic applications
It is compatible with other engineering materials (e.g. metals, plastics and ceramics) and can be combined with them in many different ways, including bonding.
"ONGC - Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited" - Our complex drilling application where Shaft was eccentric and application was robust & muddy. Replacement was never easy. Mech Spares designed Oil seals resolved difficulty. This gave a complete joy to my maintenance team.

"Mr Mohammed Al Duaigy" of (Kuwait National Petroleum Company) : We tried several diaphragms from renown worldwide Rubber manufacturing companies. We found Mech Spares technical know how and product to be of great durability and lasted 3 times more then anticipated. They have accurate understanding of there products.

"McCafferty BM Design Ltd, KENT United Kingdom" - Most of the O rings manufacturing company suggested to use larger diameter and expensive elastomers. We learnt with Mech Spares that elastomer being weaker compare to metal and alloys and needs appropriate back up for high pressure or high vacuum applications. Further not necessary the most expensive elastomer is the best for all applications. We trust Mr Nilesh chodhari completely for all our O rings designing applications.

"Dr. A. Singh" of BARC: The electric Insulation mat manufactured by MECH SPARES as per IS 15624 tested at ERTL and found to withstand 40 Kv and still didn't tear. We have been using since 5 years and still didn't generate any fatigue. They arranged bulk delivery in short period.

"Tata Steel" - One of our old machines started making loud noise and disturbed the entire village. We were compelled to stop the machines which lead to huge production loss. With the help of Mech Spares designed bellows in two part we could retain the lubrication and eliminate the noise.
