What is a Rubber coating?

Rubber painting refers to the painting technology for rubber. Rubber is not limited to painting, but due to hydrolysis due to aging and transfer of plasticizer, the coating film may become sticky or the color may transfer to other molded products. In addition, there are various types of rubber, and the method of manufacturing rubber differs depending on the manufacturer. In addition, rubber dissolves in organic solvents such as thinner, so special care must be taken when using solvents. Therefore, painting on rubber is difficult to handle, and even if the same type of rubber is used, the painting does not adhere well.

Application of Rubber coating

Painting on rubber is also incorporated into our lives. For example, consumer products include rubber switches such as remote controls. A rubber switch is a button for operating home appliances by operating a button, but by applying rubber coating to the rubber switch, it is possible to impart properties such as heat resistance, water resistance, chemical resistance, and weather resistance. .. It also improves user convenience. Other industrial applications include rubber fences used in baseball fields, tennis courts, harbors, etc. The rubber fence used in the ball game field is used to absorb the impact when a player collides and prevent injury. Rubber fences used in harbors are used to prevent the ingress of drifting objects.
