Rubber — natural or synthetic — is an elastic polymer with an extraordinarily wide range of industrial uses. Automotive, home appliances, construction, medicine, electronics and sports equipment are only the most visible of them.
Automotive
Automotive is rubber's most intensive user: tyres, seals, suspension elements, bushings and linings are all rubber. Elasticity, durability and vibration damping make it the ideal material for vehicle parts.
Home appliances
Door gaskets, seals, vibration-absorbing pads and hoses in refrigerators, washing machines and dishwashers are rubber. Watertightness, insulation and vibration reduction give appliances long service lives; chemical resistance to detergents seals the choice.
Construction
In construction, rubber serves in waterproofing, sound insulation, floor coverings and gaskets. In waterproofing especially, its sealing performance makes it the first choice.
Medicine
Medical devices, surgical gloves and medical seals are rubber's face in the world of hygiene; suitability for sterilisation makes it dependable.
Electronics
From cable insulation to device seals and keypads, rubber handles electrical insulation, vibration absorption and sealing duties in electronics.
With its elasticity, durability and chemical resistance, rubber keeps winning new applications as production techniques evolve. At Makelport we manufacture parts for many of these fields — from automotive and appliances to infrastructure and defense.
