We KNOW Rubber.

CMDI uses a number of different materials, each with their own unique physical characteristics. We work with each customer to help select the best material, the best equipment for your part/product based on the application, industry, environment, and cost criteria.

Natural Rubber

Compared to other rubbers, natural rubber is one of the most flexible types.

SBR Rubber

SBR is a general purpose rubber known for its low cost and water resistance.

EPDM Rubber

EPDM’s biggest advantages lie in how weatherproof it is outdoors.

Nitrile Rubber

Nitrile rubber is most popular for its oil resistance, although it’s also tough and temperature resistant.

Silicone Rubber

Silicone rubber is an industrial rubber with traits taken from both rubber and plastic.

Fluorosilicone Rubber

The unique properties of fluorosilicone rubber make it a problemsolving material that is widely used in many industries.

Neoprene Rubber

Neoprene rubber is popular across industries thanks to its resistance to all sorts of environmental conditions.

Fluoroelastomer Rubber

Fluoroelastomer rubber has heat and flame resistance, and resistance to aging, ozone, oxidizers, oils and more.

Urethane Rubber

Urethane rubber is widely used due to its excellent wear resistance and tensile strength.

The information presented for these materials should only be used as a general guide, as the ratings are based, for the most part, on published literature from various polymer suppliers.


CMDI is unable to guarantee the information’s accuracy and assume no liability for the use thereof. There are many variable factors to be considered before selecting a general elastomer compound for a particular service.


Due to the many variations in compounds and the effects of changes in temperature, durometer and service conditions, CMDI recommends that the customer test and determine suitability of a particular elastomer compound for their specific application.


With over 25 years of experience working with elastomers of all types, CMDI can provide assistance with identifying the most cost-effective elastomer solution for your needs.
