Elastomers Union Founded in 2009 by a group of experts, each with over ten years experience in the field of rubber compounds, to give technologically advanced solutions in the production of special fluoroelastomer compounds
We produce fluoroelastomer compounds FKM (FPM)- based on our formulas - based on our customers’ formulas We cover the whole range of fluoroelastomers. Copolymers and Terpolymers - bisphenolic and peroxide
Our decades-long expertise for your tailor made compound Our compounds are made to match:- the necessary specifications - your equipment, your technologies and your moulding methods - your schedule: from start to finish- your urgencies
We design new compoundsstarting from the raw materialsWe collaborate with our suppliers (Sersar Ltd. and others) who can supply polymers specifically made for the development of compounds with new features.Bisphenolic and Peroxide Copolymers (resistance to temperature and oil) and terpolymers (resistance to fuels)

Reduction of compound impurities
Filtration down to a diameter of 0.11 mm for quantities up to 1000 kg/hour- For any application and processing- To ensure a high level of purity of the compound- To reduce the wear of the mold- To reduce the need of operator control during the selection process
Product quality controlfor each lot in deliveryVulcanization - oscillating disk rheometer (ODR)Hardness - durometerDensity - hydrometer (hydrostatic balance)
Laboratory for advanced research, development, analysis and controlVulcanization, hardness, density, viscosityMechanical characteristicsCompression setAging in air and fluids
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)Gel permeation chromatography (GPC)High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
