In the offshore wind industry, rubber is crucial because it can protect mechanisms through shock absorption and sealing.
This is why, the rubber used in this industry has to match certain characteristics- in particular, it is selected due to it’s toughness, corrosion resistance, thermal stability as well as flexibility and adaptability.
Rubber Materials Used in Offshore Wind Solutions
The conditions for offshore operations are harsh and unpredictable, with saltwater corrosion, extreme pressures, and fluctuating temperatures. Neoprene rubber, nitrile rubber, and EPDM rubber are some of the most commonly used rubber products for offshore because of their unique properties.
