Marking rubber products and moulded parts

Rubber marking

Would you like to label rubber surfaces and mark them with test or article numbers or codes? With the right technology and precisely matched consumables, rubber surfaces can be reliably labeled. Which technology is best suited to your application depends, among other things, on the exact nature of the surface, the production conditions and the purpose of the labeling.

Coding or labeling?

We help you choose the right technology

A dimensionally stable but elastic plastic: due to its resistant and water-repellent properties, synthetically produced rubber is in demand as a material in many areas of industry. Vulcanised rubber is used to produce elastomers, which are used in car tyres, rubber bands, cable insulation and sealing rings. Traceability and clear labeling of rubber products is mandatory in the automotive and electrical industries, and rubber surfaces must also be labeled in many other industrial branches.

Case study on labelling and marking - Continantal
Tyre labelling with goods issue control

Continental

In order to promote the sale of resource-efficient motor vehicle tyres, the European Union enacted the Tyre Labelling Regulation EU 1222/2009 at the end of 2012. To enable fully automatic labelling of tyres, Continental Reifen Deutschland GmbH has teamed up with labelling specialist Bluhm Weber Group to develop a tyre… Read Case Study

Types of rubber

The terms rubber and elastomers are often used interchangeably, and the term rubber is used colloquially. In the narrower sense, however, elastomers are synthetically produced, whereas rubber is made from natural raw materials. Vulcanisation (curing) makes (synthetic) rubber dimensionally stable. Depending on the degree of vulcanisation, a distinction is made between elastomers (soft rubbers) and thermosets (hard rubbers). Products and components made from elastomers include:

  • Drive elements such as belts and tapes
  • Car tyres
  • Insulating, sealing and connecting elements
  • Individual moulded rubber parts
  • Rubber mats and sheets
  • Profiles, cables, rings and hoses

The most important synthetic rubbers are SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) and EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene rubber).
