#rubberfact Did you know that the first four-roll calender to make rubber sheet was patented by Edwin Chaffee of the Roxbury India Rubber Company in 1836? He didn't make a red compound though - the image shows our colour expertise! #rubberhistory #calender #calenderedrubber

Did you know early cars often had white tyres made of pure natural rubber mixed with zinc oxide to improve strength, resulting in a white colour? By the 1920s, carbon black was added to rubber to increase endurance, turning tires black, while white sidewalls remained popular for style until the 1960s. #historyofrubber #rubbercompounding #automotive

The fire-resistant qualities of EPDM rubber make it the preferred choice for many critical-safe applications. This includes the Artemis II mission where it has been used to insulate the Orion Abort Motor used to pull the crew module to safety during an emergency on launch. Thankfully the Abort Motor was not needed for this mission and the crew are on track to return to earth in the early hours of Saturday morning (UK/EU time). #rubberapplications #ArtemisProgram #AbortMotor #EPDM

#RubberFact Did you know each rubber particle in natural latex is a fully formed molecule of polyisoprene? It’s coated with a thin layer of protein that keeps it separated from adjacent particles, allowing it to remain in suspension. #rubbercompounding #rubbermanufacturing

Did you know that REACH stands for the Registration Evaluation Authorisation and restriction of CHemicals? At SPC, we have a proactive approach to managing chemical use. We comply with both EU and UK REACH rules and actively support our customers in achieving the same. #chemicalsrules #chemicalsafety #REACH

World Book Day today! If we were dressing up as a children’s book character, we would be Willy Wonka. Why? Because he follows closely guarded secret recipes, with precision measuring and timed temperatures in his fantastic factory, not to mention his excellent development and testing labs!

Happy St David’s Day for yesterday to everyone at our factory in Maerdy, Wales, and to all of our Welsh friends, customers and suppliers everywhere. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!

We started the week with an excellent off-site meeting at the lovely Heywood House, where we worked on our 3-5 year strategy plan. Being in such a nice environment can make a big difference where strategic thinking is required. It was a successful day where we achieved a lot. Well done to the team for their hard work. Thanks, also, to @ Mike Cameron-Davies ✳️ for his insights and strategy guidance. We love it when a plan comes together. (That’s an A-Team reference for anyone who missed out on the 1980s!) #Teamworkmakesthedreamwork #StrategyMeeting #ATeam
