ANALISIS PENGUJIAN KEKERASAN PADA PENAMBAHAN TALC SILICON RUBBER

Abstract

Silicon rubber is part of a polymer that has advantages in terms of elasticity, so mixing the two will provide characteristics of ductility and a better level of toughness so that it can be applied more widely, especially for locally made automotive products so that they can compete with export products in terms of quality. The hardness test is a test that functions to measure the resistance of a material to pressure on the surface. The hardness test used in this research uses the ISO-48-2018 method. The aim of this research is to determine silicon rubber components to produce test data so that the results of the rubber test data can classify rubber that is suitable for a product and develop new rubber formulas for special applications. improving rubber performance under certain conditions. By conducting this research, you can contribute to the development of better and innovative materials for various industrial and medical purposes.
