Cleanliness of Rubber Product (ASTM 5774, SAE J1726)

The function of many rubber products including seals is to keep a certain area of an assembly clean from debris and contaminates. In order to ensure that the rubber products that we supply to our customers do not contribute to uncleanliness we often do tests using ASTM D5774 and SAE J1726 to measure the level of cleanliness of our rubber products.

A common requirement for hoses that we manufacturer is using SAE J1726. In these tests we are able to quantify the level of particles in the inside of these hoses and ensure that they meet the level of cleanliness that our customers need and to minimize the amount of foreign objects that our products bring to the system. 

O rings and seals often need to seal preventing foreign objects into a system, but it is also important to measure the level of cleanliness of the o ring and seals themselves to make sure they are not contributing to bringing foreign particles into the system. 

Rubber Mexico prides itself in our process controls and we also have large industrial cleaning machines to do a final cleaning of our rubber products before they are shipped to our customers.
