kumiseos
Kumiseos is a Finnish term that denotes the rubber compound used to produce elastic products. It refers to a formulated blend of elastomer polymers, fillers, reinforcing agents, curing systems, and processing aids selected to achieve targeted properties such as elasticity, strength, heat resistance, and wear performance.
The base of a kumiseos is usually one or more elastomer polymers. Common choices include natural rubber
Manufacturing involves mixing or milling the ingredients into a homogeneous compound, followed by shaping through calendering,
Applications of kumiseos span tires, seals, hoses, gaskets, belts, and vibration-damping components. Properties such as tensile
