Dear Mary

I am writing to congratulate you on your wedding, since I will not be able to attend for the work that has
me very busy and without time, ask for permission but they did not give it to me, I am very worried
because I know you need help for the party.
I apologize in advance for my absence. I know it will be a wonderful wedding and you will be with the
people who love you and want to see you in the most important day of your life.
Congratulate yourself for making this decision to join your life with Jorge, he is a good man, he will make
you very happy.
No more to say, I say goodbye to you dear Maria, blessings.
I'll wait for news of how the wedding was.

products

In maritime circumstances, the used equipment utilises the properties of rubber either as a
corrosion-preventive material or as a technical construction material. Teknikum offers
components, sub-assemblies, and complete solutions to be utilised in the dock and
shipbuilding industries.

Teknikum designs and manufactures, among others, progressive rubber-sheet bearings to

replace the traditional, more expensive solutions made of bearing metals. Our rubber-sheet
bearings have been extensively implemented in container ships’ cargo hatches, and they
have proven to be an excellent choice due to their long service life. For this sector, we also
manufacture seals, lead-throughs, vibration absorbers, Silicone and liquid silicone
components, and customer-specific polyurethane products.

Resistance to corrosion and wear in marine circumstances

In shipbuilding, seawater pipelines and their filters are subjected to both mechanical wear
and corrosion. Soft grades of rubber, based mainly on natural rubber, have proven to
provide functional solutions. Legislative regulations have also been issued for the emission
of pollutants produced by ships. In case of flue gases, sulphur dioxide content is decreased
by using flue gas scrubbers where rubber-coated structures help in protecting the system
from corrosion. In these targets, the selection of the rubber grade to be used utilises the
experience we have of coal-fired power stations.

In addition to corrosion and wear, mechanical wear directed at structures can be decreased
by using rubber materials as spring elements. In oil-drilling rigs floating on the sea, the
wave-induced wear on the pipelines rising from the seabed is dampened by using spring
layers vulcanised on the pipeline surface. Very specific technical requirements for the used
grade of rubber apply to these cases.

Material properties
Demanding products made of liquid silicone
Due to its properties, liquid silicone is often used for demanding products. Silicone retains
its elasticity well and is resistant to ozone, UV light, and hot and cold temperatures. As
silicone has such physiologically neutral properties, it can be applied to many uses.
Silicones also comply with the RoHS requirements of the electrical and electronics industry.
Teknikum provides UL94 V0 -approved, flame-proofed special qualities. Silicone products
are easy to process and the products retain their elastic properties both in hot and cold
circumstances. Silicone products are highly weather-resistant and have small residual
compression. Products made of silicone can be used for sealing, binding materials together,
and insulation. In addition, the material has high tolerance for various fuels and liquids.

Our versatile ejecting press and multi-daylight press manufacturing techniques enable a
broad product selection.

Typical properties of liquid silicone:

• Heat resistance up to +180 °C

• Good elastic properties
• Retains its elastic properties also in cold temperatures
• High resistance to ozone ad UV light
• Excellent ageing and weather resistance
• First-rate electrical insulation properties in a broad spectrum of temperatures
• Neutral regarding odour and taste
• Non-allergenic in direct skin contact
• Physiologically neutral properties, also suitable for use with foodstuffs and the medical
industry
• Transparent basic material, can easily be pigmented to desired colour shade

Durability with polyurethane products

Polyurethane products typically provide excellent mechanical properties and first-class wear
resistance and tear strength. Teknikum has a versatile catalogue of different types of
urethane, both MDI- and TDI-based materials, both of which come in polyether and
polyester types of compounds. Standard indentation hardnesses range between 55-95 ShA,
and we also process extra-hard versions up to 80 ShD.
The products are either completely made of plastic or polyurethane-coated metal structures.
For the latter, the coating can be chosen to best suit the intended use, and the rigidity of
structure, pressure-proofing, or fixing is handled by using metal structures.

The designers and users or plastic products have been aware of nylon and its versatile
properties as a structural material for a long time now. Nylon is an extremely hard and rigid
plastic that can provide an alternative to different metal structures if subjected to the correct
additive treatments.
Nyrim is a polyamide-based material that gives products a combination of the hardness,
rigidity, and chemical and thermal resistance of polyamide and the elasticity and viscosity
of rubber. Nyrim introduces durability and lightness to solutions that utilise it, and fillers
enable modifying the properties of the products. Reaction injection moulding (RIM) enables
large product volumes and low moulding costs.
