| RUBBER
SLEEVES / FLEX CONNECTORS |
| CAPABILITIES
|
| Flex Connectors have many
names for the same application: socks, boots, tubes and
rubber sleeves. |
| RK Rubber uses uncured
compounds in their splicing techniques in all types of sleeve creation,
then hot vulcanizes seams with heat and pressure for durability and reliability.
Some rubber fabricators rely on cold bond adhesive process or fabric which
creates a hard, non-flexible, brittle joint of low strength causing seams
in sleeves to rip or tear. |
