We sure do! Here is a list of commonly used terms we use in the industry. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

• Additives: Materials combined with VIBRATHANE and curatives to modify the properties of the roll, such as plasticizers, fillers, and stabilizers.
• Bashore Resilience: An ASTM test (D-2632) for the rebound characteristics of the elastomer. High Bashore resilience generally implies low heat buildup in the roll when used at high speeds under high loads.
• Colorants: Dyes or pigments that provide color to the roll compound.
• Compression Set: The characteristic of the elastomer to remain permanently deformed after deforming forces are removed. VIBRATHANE roll prepolymers offer a low compression set for excellent dimensional stability in the roll.
• Curatives: Materials that react with VIBRATHANE prepolymer to produce the final elastomer. Examples are TMP, TIPA, and Isonol 93.
• Durometer: The hardness of the final elastomer or the gauge used to measure the hardness. The Shore A scale (ASTM D-2240) is commonly used.
• Elastomer: The solid rubber compound that constitutes the final roll cover.
• Fillers: Solids added to the roll compound, generally to improve its grinding characteristics or physical properties.
• Hydrolytic Stabilizers: Additives that extend the service life of roll compounds exposed heavily to water.
• Modulus: The stiffness of an elastomer is typically measured as the force required to stretch a strip of the elastomer to a given extent. Modulus is closely related to hardness.
• Mold Release Agent: A lubricant that prevents the roll surface from adhering to the mold.
• Polyester: A chemical building block that reacts with TDI to produce VIBRATHANE roll prepolymers. The polyester provides good solvent resistance and good mechanical properties in the final elastomer.
• Polyether: A chemical building block used in place of polyester in some VIBRATHANE prepolymers, e.g., B-600 and B-615. The polyether provides outstanding resilience and hydrolytic stability.
• Polymer: The solid polyurethane rubber produced from the chemical reaction of VIBRATHANE prepolymer with curative. The final roll compound often also contains additives such as plasticizer or filler that are dissolved or dispersed in the polyurethane polymer.
• Polyurethane (Urethane): The polymer (rubber) is prepared by reacting a polyisocyanate (VIBRATHANE prepolymer) with a polyhydroxy-terminated compound (curative). The word urethane can often be misspelled. Some incorrect spellings include urithane, urathane, urothane, and eurothane. There is only one correct way to spell this word: URETHANE.
• Primer (Adhesive): Material that bonds the VIBRATHANE roll compound securely to the core of the roll.
• Tear Strength (Split Strength): A measure of the resistance of the elastomer to tear and gouging. This property is generally related to resistance to abrasion.
