Rubber compounds are often developed to provide specific properties for product performance. For example, the tread stock of tires is often compounded for low rolling resistance. Other products are compounded to reduce vibration or noise. Both of these qualities depend on the dynamic properties of the compound. Measuring these properties can be beneficial in both R&D and quality control settings allowing one to assess experimental formulations and ensure consistency of final products, respectively. Alpha Technologies provides several products to measure the dynamic properties of rubber compounds including the world standard RPA 2000.
