Natural rubber, also called India rubber or caoutchouc, as initially produced, consists of suitable polymers of the organic compound isoprene, with minor impurities of other organic compounds plus water. Forms of polyisoprene that are useful as natural rubbers are classified as elastomers.
In the quality management context, rubber refers to a material commonly used in various applications to provide flexibility, elasticity, and durability. Rubber is used in the manufacture of a wide range of products, including seals, gaskets, hoses, and tires.
Examples of rubber in the quality management context include:
- Rubber seals, used in automotive and industrial applications to prevent fluid leaks and protect against dust, dirt, and other contaminants
- Rubber gaskets, used in pipes and machinery to prevent fluid leaks and provide a tight seal
- Rubber hoses, used in various applications to convey fluids or gases
- Tires, which are made of rubber and used in automobiles, trucks, and other vehicles to provide traction, stability, and cushioning
- Rubber products used in medical applications, such as gloves and tubing
Quality management in the rubber industry typically involves ensuring that rubber products meet specified requirements, such as dimensional tolerances, strength, durability, and performance requirements. Quality control processes are used to inspect and test rubber products to ensure that they meet the required specifications, and to identify and correct any defects or problems. By following strict quality management processes and procedures, organizations can produce high-quality rubber products that meet the needs of their customers and provide the desired performance and durability.
