On Friday we took part in ‘Wear it Pink’ to show our support to those affected by breast cancer.

Whether you are a survivor, currently fighting your battle, or have lost someone special to this awful disease, I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say that we are proud of you!

It is times like this we see the good in humanity, pulling together to support a cause that affects so many every year.

Vulcanisation is a key part of rubber manufacturing, helping to give rubber the strength, flexibility and durability needed for a wide range of applications.

But how does the process work, and why does it matter?

In our latest blog, we take a look at the vulcanisation process, including how rubber is cured, what this means for its performance and where vulcanised rubber is commonly used.

Read the full blog to find out more: https://cstu.io/34194f/

Discover how rubber vulcanisation works, why it improves durability, and when vulcanised joints outperform cold bonded alternatives for industrial gaskets and extrusions.

When it comes to material selection, the level of light transmission can make a significant difference to the finished application.

We can produce materials with varying levels of translucency and opacity; from clear and highly light transmitting, through to frosted and diffused, right through to opaque.

The examples shown demonstrate just some of the different finishes and appearances that can be achieved.

Whether you need a material to allow light through, diffuse it, or block it completely, we can help identify the right specification for your application.

Get in touch with our team to discuss your requirements today!

Investment across UK food manufacturing is bringing more automation, new technology and increased capacity onto factory floors, but even the smartest production equipment still relies on less high-tech components.

J-Flex produces food-grade silicone seals and gaskets used in food processing applications, where hygiene, temperature resistance and material compliance matter.

Our silicone materials are independently tested to meet requirements including FDA, BfR and EC1935 food safety regulations.
