Manufacturing Process: Rubberizing

Rubber, whether natural or synthetic, arrives at processor (fabricator) plants in large bales. Once the rubber arrives at the factory, processing goes through four steps: compounding, mixing, shaping and vulcanizing. The rubber compounding formulation and method depends on the intended outcome of the rubber fabrication process.

This process delivers fully natural and biodegradable sheets with a very open, thus ventilating, yet resilient structure. Each of our plants in Volendam (The Netherlands), Poland, and the United Kingdom produces rubberized products locally and with its own specialties.
