Word on the street is that people have been missing my blog-postings!  I am sorry that I have disappointed you but I promise to try and do better.   This week I have selected Viton Closed-Cell Sponge as the GlobalSpec product of the week.  These non-absorbent sheets are highly compressible, resilient, lightweight and provide good thermal insulation.  For more information

In other news, this week we have invited some of our customers to visit Chamberlin, tour our facility and take in a little golf.  More information to follow…       

Until then,

In honor of our recent visit from Andy Nardone and Tim Wilson from Rogers Corporation this week I have selected to highlight BF 1000 - Extra Soft Cellular Silicone for this week’s GlobalSpec product of the week.  BF 1000 passes the smoke, flame and toxicity tests needed to be installed in a passenger railcar.  

What are the features and benefits of BF 1000? Well, here you go…

• Excellent memory and low stress relaxation reduces maintenance costs associated with gasket failures due to compression set and softening.
• Softness allows designers to use less force to seal enclosures and still protect their device from the environment.
• High compressibility allows material to conform to variable width gaps and awkward shapes, thereby allowing engineers more design flexibility.
• Resistance to ultraviolet light, ozone, extreme temperatures, and flame enables consistent performance in all environments.

One might think that this week’s product of the week should fall into March’s “funky-weather” catagory but techincally the GlobalSpec product of the week is actually determined on TUESDAY - and today is Tuesday, April 1, 2008 so it it is free to be what ever it wants - AND it has decided that it wants to be the

This week I am trying something new with our GlobalSpec product of the week.  A few weeks ago our Operations Manager asked if we might be able to sell some corrugated rubber runners online - we tried ebay but were unsucessful which leads me to this weeks GlobalSpec Product of the Week….Corrugated Rubber Runners.  Typically this mat is 36″ wide and sold by the linear yard however these runners are 15″ x 50′. 

1/8″ thick, the runners are corrugated on top, and have a smooth-back finish.  They are a general use, all-weather product that would be ideal in most any industrial applications, in offices or even at home (if you have 50′ in your home that needs to be covered with a runner!). 

Benefits:  Weather-resistant, won’t curl, shirk or separate.  Cleans easily and quickly.  Good abraision resistance and sound absorbing. 

Give us a call (585) 758-1027 or email me atruini@crubber.com for more information.

Have a Great Week,  

~Andrea

On Thursday, March 6, 2008 the house that Chamberlin Rubber Company, Inc. employees help build back in September was had its official dedication.  By that I mean - it finally has its family. 

This build of this house was sponsored by the local chapter of Vistage International, a group of small business owners of which our owner & president, Bill Lanigan, is an active member.  We sent a crew to help in September 2007 and were given the task of framing.  An adventure to say the least!  It is great to know that the house has been completed and that the family that now lives there is enjoying it. 

If you are interested in more information about the family you can check out the article that appeared in the Democrat & Chronicle on March 7, 2008 by clicking here. 

Here at Chamberlin Rubber Company, Inc. we would like to send our very best wishes to our house’s family.  I would also encourage any of you to participate in a Habitat for Humanity build.

(P.S. Happy “Pi-Day” 3.14!)

Keeping in line with month’s theme of products that deal with the crazy weather patterns of March this week’s GlobalSpec product of the week is weatherstripping.  One of Chamberlin Rubber Company, Inc.’s top website sellers weatherstripping is available in sheet format or we can easily custom slit the roll to meet your needs.

Chamberlin’s weatherstripping is a thick closed-cell sponge with a temperature rating of -40^oF to 200^oF. 

The rubber blend passes UL-94-HBF, MIL-R-6130C, and FMVSS-302.

This weekend we here in Rochester, NY got hit with another big snowstorm.  I guess it was Mother Nature’s way of reminding us that March likes to come in like a LION (how convenient Chamberlin is like a lion too) - with any luck it will go out like a lamb.  Anyway you slice it the rainy season will be upon us soon so I thought it would be nice to highlight some  SUCTION HOSE.

Flexadux^® T-7 W is a medium weight thermoplastic rubber hose reinforced with a spring wire helix and external polypropylene wearstrip.

      

Flexadux^® T-7 W is one of our most popular suction hoses for more information give our sales department a call at (585) 758-1027.

Until next time~
