Job Titel - Rubber Technologist Job Purpose: To formulate, test, and optimize rubber compounds used in the manufacture of thermal and acoustic insulation products, ensuring compliance with performance, cost, processability, and regulatory requirements. Key Responsibilities: Formulation & Development: Develop rubber-based formulations suitable for insulation applications with low thermal conductivity, high flexibility, flame resistance, and long-term durability. Work with elastomers such as EPDM, NBR, and other suitable polymers used in closed-cell foam insulation. Select and optimize use of blowing agents, flame retardants, fillers, plasticizers, and curing systems. Modify and improve existing recipes for performance enhancement or cost reduction. Testing & Quality Control: Conduct physical, mechanical, and thermal testing (density, compression set, thermal conductivity, flammability, elongation, etc.). Ensure that rubber insulation sheets, tubes, and rolls meet technical specifications and customer requirements. Implement lab-scale trials before commercial production and validate performance under simulated usage conditions. Process Support: Coordinate with production for successful scale-up of new formulations in the plant. Troubleshoot technical issues in compounding, extrusion, curing, and foaming stages. Optimize processing parameters to reduce waste and ensure consistent product quality. Documentation & Compliance: Prepare and maintain formulation records, test reports, and technical specifications. Ensure compliance with applicable fire safety standards (e.g., UL 94, BS 476), environmental norms (REACH, RoHS), and industry certifications. Support documentation needed for customer audits or third-party certifications. Innovation & Industry Monitoring: Track latest developments in rubber insulation materials, flame retardant systems, and sustainability trends. Evaluate alternate raw materials for cost savings, environmental compliance, or performance improvement. Participate in new product development for specialized applications (e.g., HVAC, refrigeration, marine insulation). Qualifications: B.Tech / M.Tech in Rubber Technology / Polymer Science / Chemical Engineering. 38 years of experience in formulation and processing of rubber compounds for insulation or related foam products. Skills & Competencies: In-depth knowledge of elastomeric foam insulation materials and compounding. Familiarity with extrusion, vulcanization, and foaming processes. Proficiency in lab testing, equipment such as Rheometer, DSC, TGA, and flame test apparatus. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skills. Effective team player with good communication and coordination ability.
