Rubber cable grommets are versatile products that are widely used in several industries. Their principal uses include:
Covering the sharp edges of holes in metal plates to protect cables and pipes from cuts and chafing damage, prolonging their useful life. A common example is an electrical backbox. These are rectangular chambers inserted into walls to house plugs and power points, with the wiring entry and exit points protected by grommets
Rubber grommets provide strain relief, gripping wiring in place and minimising the damage and disruption that might occur if the cord or cable was accidentally pulled. A good example of this usage is ethernet and other ports at the back of PCs and laptops
Reducing engine vibration in cars and other vehicles

 

 

Materials
NR	Natural Rubber	High tensile strength, good ductility
SBR	Styrene Butadiene Rubber	Uniform quality , less foreign matter but weak mechanical strength , can be mixed with NR , widely used in tire industry , shoe soles , tape , conveyor belt , etc
BR	Polybutadiene
IIR	Butyl Rubber	Gas is less permeable and resistant to heat, sunlight and ozone
EPDM	Ethylene propylene Rubber
CR	Polychloroprene Neoprene	Excellent heat aging, weather resistance, ozone resistance
XNBR	Carboxylated NBR / Carboxyl Butadience Acylonitrile	This gelatinization is rapid sulfur addition, short scorching time, short safe storage period, compared with the general NBR, excellent wear resistance, other characteristics are similar.
NBR	Nitrile Rubber ( Buna )	Resistant to alcohol, it is the most common rubber raw material for oil seal and O-ring at present
HNBR	Hydrogenated Nitrile / Highly Saturated Nitrile ( HSN )	Better temperature and weather resistance than NBR, similar oil resistance to NBR, used as seals for new R-134A refrigerant system.
PU	Polyurethane Rubber	High hardness, high elasticity, abrasion resistance are difficult compared to other rubbers, aging resistance, ozone resistance, oil resistance is also quite good, the general PU air tightness is good
CSM	Hypalon , Polyethylene	Good heat resistance, weather resistance, ozone resistance, acid resistance, often used for oxidation resistant drugs (except nitric acid, sulfuric acid)
ACM ( PA )	Polyacrylate Rubber	It has good resistance to petrochemical oil, high temperature and weather. It is worse than general oil adhesive. It is widely used in automotive transmission system and power system seals.
ECO	Epichlorohydrin / Hydrin	Good oil resistance, heat resistance and ozone resistance
VAMAC	Vamac ( Ethylene / Acryllic ) AEM	Petrochemical oil resistance, heat resistance, weather resistance, ozone resistance are good, compared with PA has better temperature, widely used in automotive transmission system and power system seals.
SIL	Silicone Rubber	Tensile strength is worse than general rubber and does not have oil resistance, heat resistance, weather resistance, ozone resistance, low temperature are excellent, suitable for high and low temperature environment, and alcohol resistance.
FSIL	Fluorinated Silicone Rubber	Good resistance to oil, solvent and fuel oil, good resistance to high and low temperature, used in space parts, but mostly limited to static seals, its strength and wear resistance are not good.
FPM / FKM	Fluoro Carbon Rubber	High TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE IS BETTER THAN SIL, CHEMICAL resistance, MOST oil AND several solvents (EXCEPT KETones, LIPids), weather resistance, ozone resistance are good, cold resistance is poor, widely used in automobile, chemical plant parts
