In the Spaggiari Industria Gomma laboratories, each product is a masterpiece.
With over 70 years of experience, we prefer a constant monitoring of the whole production cycle through a management system quality which has given us the highest recognition from the main certification bodies.
The main component of our production is described below: rubber.
What is rubber?
Rubber, an incredibly versatile material, has a property that opens the door to a wide range of applications: its ability to form strong bonds with other materials. These often overlooked but crucial bonds are the basis of many innovations in industry.
What are the bonds of rubber?
Our products are constantly monitored throughout the production process and stand out on the market for their quality, which starts with the excellence of the materials used. Spaggiari Industria Gomma controls the entire production process, including the links between rubber and other materials. Among these we find:
- The Rubber – Metal Bond
The rubber-metal bond is a perfect synergy that combines the rigidity of metal with the elasticity of rubber. The metal, which provides stability and the ability to position the product in its designated place, joins with the rubber, providing elasticity and cushioning stresses. Steel and aluminum are the protagonist metals, while alloys such as brass and bronze depend on their composition. The preparation of the metal is a crucial step, requiring thorough cleaning from rust and impurities. A bonding agent, sprayed before molding, facilitates the adhesion of the rubber, resulting in a durable connection.
- The Rubber – Fabric Bond
Some products find strength in the rubber-fabric bond, enriched with polyester, polyamide, aramid and glass threads or yarns. These fabrics provide mechanical resistance and are essential in sectors such as tires. The subtle magic is revealed in tires, where the textile or metal filament takes on the role of fundamental structural resistance, ensuring the solidity and durability of the products.
- Waterproofing and Coating
Since the early days of the rubber industry in the 1800s, waterproofing fabrics has been a sought-after practice. An ancient but essential process, rubber is dissolved in an organic solvent and gently spread over the desired surface with a spatula. After the solvent evaporates, a thin film of rubber remains on the fabric, ready for vulcanization in a hot oven. This classic technique has made it possible to create waterproof products, a marriage of tradition and innovation.
