Elastomer material is a material with elasticity that can deform in response to an external force and return to its original shape after the force is removed. It has a wide range of applications in various fields, such as sports equipment, seats, shoe insoles, and so on.

The processes for making elastomeric materials are basically classified as follows:

1. Rubber molding: Rubber is a common elastomeric material, which can be made by extrusion, calendering, injection molding and other molding processes. Extrusion is to heat the rubber and then extrude it through an extruder for molding, calendering is to flatten the rubber and then mold it through a mold structure, and injection molding is to inject liquid rubber into the mold for molding.

2. Foam molding: Elastomeric materials can also be made by foam molding, a process that produces materials such as foam rubber and bubble rubber. By adding foaming agent to the raw material, and then through the process of heating, expansion, cooling, etc., the foam material with elasticity is formed.

3. Mixing and molding: Elastomeric materials can also be produced by mixing and molding process, of which the common methods are hot press molding, cold press molding and so on. The raw materials are heated or cooled, and then extruded and pressurized to form materials with certain shapes and elasticity.

4. Molecular modification process: Using the method of molecular modification, the raw material can be chemically treated to enhance its elasticity and abrasion resistance. For example, cross-linking agents are used to cross-link the molecules in the rubber material into a network structure, thus increasing its elasticity.

In general, different elastomer materials have different production processes, you can choose the appropriate process to produce products with excellent elastic properties according to demand. The application of elastomeric materials in various fields will continue to expand, and I believe that more innovative production processes will appear in the future.
