Share:
MIDLAND, Michigan --
The XIAMETER(R) brand is launching a series of standard high-consistency rubber (HCR) compounds for customers in North America and Europe. Now, customers can get standard HCR compounds for high-voltage insulation, wire and cable, general molding, and general extrusion applications without added customization costs and product development delays. To help determine the exact compound customers need, the XIAMETER(R) team also developed a quick and easy-to-use online selector guide (https://www.xiameter.com/en/ExploreSilicones/Silicone_Rubber/Pages/HCRCompoundSelector.aspx).
"Our range of proven XIAMETER(R) standard HCR compounds will meet your specific performance expectations," said Shelley Bausch, XIAMETER(R) vice president and executive director. "Most compounds on the market today are highly customized, so we've decided to offer a set product line of standard HCR compounds so that customers can choose the preform, durometer range, cure system, and standard color they need."
The XIAMETER(R) online selector guide is one of the easiest, quickest ways to identify the right HCR compound on the Web today. Customers can use the online selector tool, available 24 hours a day, to identify suitable products for their specific application. They get the HCR compound at market-based prices, delivered where and when they need it.
The XIAMETER(R) standard silicone rubber compounds are available to customers on www.xiameter.com.
