Compounds Available

 

Columbia Rubber Mills has spent over sixty years developing superior quality compounds for all areas of industry. Our world is ever-changing, and we know that the needs of our customers change with the times. We also understand that each customer has their own way of doing what they do—no matter how similar one application may seem to another, every application is unique. We will work with you to develop a compound that meets your specific needs.

We have created special compounds that hold up against age, swell, hardening, ink buildup, abrasion, heat, humidity changes, and compression. Our team will help you determine the material best-suited to your application. With the right compound, your equipment will benefit from longer service life, less swell, and increased productivity and efficiency, and downtime can be significantly reduced.

Our compounds are accurately formulated and properly mixed in strict accordance with our integrated quality control system. Each batch is tested in our lab to ensure it meets all chemical and physical specifications prior to approval for use in production.
