]]>Want the latest information on how the global supply chain works? Well the below should give you some insight on rubber and plastic containers imported to USA. This is for the 2021 calendar year. We hope you find this data helpful. We pride ourselves to not only be the best at a low cost solution in molded rubber, but also experts in logistics and your strength in the supply chain. Let’s see what our logistics have to report.
This unprecedented decrease in service levels. This is caused by the bullwhip effect of import demand falling. Especially in the first half before rocketing since the second half and a subsequent shortage of container equipment for Asian exports. Furthermore, this has spurred shippers to accuse carriers of price gouging and carriers to argue the system can’t handle the volume. Unsurprisingly, the US Federal Maritime Commission has upped its monitoring, and Commissioner Rebecca Dye has hinted at potential major changes coming this month in how the agency addresses detention and demurrage charges. Hearing complaints from their agriculture exporter constituents. Members of Congress are asking the industry to help get them needed equipment for soybeans, grains, and other commodities.
All of this comes as importers and container lines hash out annual trans-Pacific service contracts. Mostly which the industry widely expects will include higher base rates than last year’s agreements. Although the extent of the pricing increase is still unclear. If spot rates in the eastbound trans-Pacific are an indication as to where annual service contract rates will end up this spring. Contract rates will be much higher than last year. The service importers are receiving and how their various routings through US and Canadian ports. They are performing is framing negotiations for the contracts that generally run from May 1 through April 30. While a larger number of shippers are signing contracts earlier. This way so they can expand their minimum quantity commitments and get extra space now. There’s another camp waiting to see if there’s any relief in spot rates during the two-week Chinese New Year celebrations.The Asia import surge has also tested Savannah, the second-largest East Coast port. The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) says cargo flow is improving after some issues in January. This is when import volumes were more than 20 percent higher than a year ago as retailers restocked inventories and shifted goods away from congested Southern California supply chains.
While the record surge in volumes bumped up average container dwell times in Savannah to nearly six days. It expanded to 24 to 48 hours longer than typical for January or February. The GPA said it is working around the clock to move the cargo as quickly as possible and communicating with cargo owners to help resolve any supply chain problems. Eight to 11 vessels were anchored outside Savannah’s harbor in mid-January. But that total had fallen to four in mid-February, the GPA said. “We’re running at a rate that is about 1 million more TEU than we had last fiscal year,�said GPA CEO Griff Lynch. “We’re doing everything we can to keep pace with that. But clearly no one’s built to absorb that kind of growth year over year without some kind of challenges.�/p>
The current market is still picking up as some customer. This comes back to work later than usual. Now we are booking space on the 2nd week of March schedule. Schedule is still not stable. Also equipment supply is still having problems. Furthermore, we expect this situation will be continued at least for three months. Especially USEC space will be very tight. It may be easier to get FAK space for USWC now. But will still be difficult for USEC and PNW. Therefore premium rate and svc will be continued. And also a premium surcharge will be maintained in this month. Not much changes, and is only possible that equipment and space may be better in April.

]]>The firm is a certified minority-owned supplier where most of its work force also comprises minorities. This has helped open doors for the supplier of custom molded, extruded and rubber-to-metal products, leading to growth for the City of Industry-based company.
Edward Casillas is the VP of Sales. He has seen a large reason of the success for the firm. He said as managers, they see the staff as a diverse group of people who come from a wide variety of backgrounds, with economic, cultural and language differences. “That really allows us to be a melting pot of all these different life experiences to really hone in and define solutions for our existing customers and for potential customers,” he said. “We really have a unique take on the rubber industry.” Coi currently employs about 15 people in California, down some because of COVID-19, while the manufacturing site in China has a staff of about 450.One Tier 1 automotive supplier that has been particularly important to Coi Rubber is Japan’s Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd. The supplier to Toyota, Honda and other OEMs is one of Coi’s largest customers.
“Their plants in Mexico really have groomed us to be a valuable supplier to them,” Casillas said. “They really have allowed us to grow and develop business with them. I think them being a minority-origin company along with us being a minority-owned business was the perfect fit.” Stanley Black & Decker Inc. has a structured diversity program for its suppliers, and Coi has had a growing relationship with the firm over the past decade-plus. In 2019 Coi received the firm’s Outstanding Diverse Vendor Award.“They really honed in with making us feel welcome, down to their day-to-day operations and individual contact with our team, up to their upper management and purchasing,” Casillas said. “They really welcomed us and encouraged and groomed us to find ways of becoming a supplier to them, and a valuable one at that.”

]]>Example of a conductive additive that is extremely additive is single-wall carbon nanotubes. Single wall carbon nanotubes are known to be a nanofiller with properties such as 6 orders of magnitudes higher than copper and high current carrying capacity making SWCTN’s a remarkable source for electrical conductivity. Single wall carbon nanotubes can also provide the advantage of improving elastomer properties such as tensile strength, making the material able to withstand heavier mechanical loads according to research from Nanowerk(//www.nanowerk.com/nanotechnology-news/newsid=39408.php).
Multicon (oriented wire in either sponge or solid silicone) Conductive Silicone (metallized filled silicones), and Radthin (wire screen imbedded into silicone). Each material is unique in its construction as well as its performance. Please see product description below for more detail.
Conductive Elastomer:
Another widely popular form of Conductive Rubber is Conductive Elastomer. Like Multicon, Conductive Elastomer can be die-cut to form a flat gasket but one of the large differences from other materials is that Conductive Elastomer can also be provided in a variety of different extruded profiles. See Figure #1Military Grade / Standard Silicone |
Military Grade / Fluorosilicone |
Military Grade / EPDM |
Military Grade / Fluoroelastomer Co-Polymer |
Military Grade / Combination: Conductive / Non-conductive |
Commercial Grade / Standard Silicone |

]]>Recent “trade war” talks in American politics have resulted in President Trump electing to impose tariffs on import goods worth an estimated $200 billion from China. At a minimum of 10% import tax rate starting on September 18, 2018, goods such as molding and processing machines for rubber, natural rubber, chloroprene rubber, isoprene rubber, and many other types of rubber parts and products have been included in the newly approved tariffs. Additionally, this rate will yet again significantly increase starting on Jan 1, 2019 to a tariff rate of 25% on these imported goods.
This move by the Trump administration will likely result in U.S. manufacturers moving their China-manufactured parts and products to other low-cost manufacturing countries in order to meet consumer price demands. To stay afloat on both global and national markets, corporations will look for ways to protect their margins by avoiding paying hefty tariff bills. The costly price of building manufacturing infrastructure in the U.S. means corporations will now turn their eyes toward other countries hungry to entice U.S. manufacturing and jobs to their country.Reportedly, many companies are already beginning to look to relocate manufacturing to China’s close neighbor, Vietnam. The global news magazine, Foreign Policy, reports that Goertek, a Chinese company known for supplying Apple Air Pods have already begun relocating their machines to Vietnam. Goertek looks to escape the tariffs by manufacturing in Vietnam instead, as talks between U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping continued on November 1st, 2018.
Coi Rubber’s President, David Chao, has said that he too had already been considering offshoring manufacturing to other countries near China prior to the trade war talks. The passage of recent tariff laws only solidified Mr. Chao’s decision to relocate their China based factory to other competitive countries to escape unreasonable tariff costs and maintain the company’s global expansion trajectory. Coi Rubber will continue to operate their three factories in China but will make Vietnam their primary factory. Although the tariffs may impact many manufacturers initially, Mr. Chao sees this as an opportunity to invest in Coi Rubber’s future by building their 4th factory in Vietnam, thereby allowing them to save costs in not only tariffs but in labor costs as well.
Rubber in Vietnam has been a stable industry as they ranked 3rd as a global exporter for rubber in 2017 (Source: Voice of Vietnam). Despite the country’s relatively small population of 96 million people, Vietnam was able to rake in $2.3 billion after exporting 1.4 million tons of natural rubber. Vietnam’s mark in the rubber industry is just beginning as the trade war between the United States and China continues creating new opportunities for Vietnam to expand their role in the industry. Trade war talks will affect the export rate of Vietnam with China, constituting 60% of Vietnam’s total import in rubber.
President Trump believed the new tariff laws would lead to more jobs in the U.S by forcing companies to move manufacturing to the U.S. instead of China. However, the plan has proven to be ineffective as many rubber manufacturers, including Coi Rubber, must look to relocate from China to countries such as Vietnam to stay competitive. By relocating to other countries, Coi Rubber is projected to reduce their production costs by 25%, as the tariff rate will increase to 25% by 2019. Coi Rubber will also benefit in labor costs, as the average monthly minimum wage in China is $350 compared to $170 for Vietnam according to Trading Economics.

]]>The engineering drawing can be a 2D print or a 3D data file. The material, color, test standards, tolerances, and all key characteristics should be clearly identified within the drawing.
An example of a simple rubber material call-out is “EPDM Rubber 60 +/- 5 Shore A” seen in an engineering drawing sent for a quote for rubber. For more complex material requirements, an ASTM line call-out is typically used.
An estimated annual usage, or EAU, is the quantity of that part you project to purchase within a year. The manufacturer needs this information quote a tool size and design capable of meeting the projected production output.The post How To: Get a Quote for Rubber appeared first on Coi Rubber Products.
]]>Neoprene vs natural rubber is a topic that often appears when comparing two types of rubber. NBR is more popular compared to natural rubber when it comes to gaskets because of its unique characteristics. Neoprene is also found to be common in other applications such as wetsuits, laptop sleeves, and wrist braces. Furthermore, neoprene can provide resistance to oil and grease which is an advantage that neoprene has over natural rubber. Neoprene played a critical role during WW2 because of the limited access to natural rubber. Despite the limited access to natural rubber, militaries were able to still produce vehicles and war machines using neoprene as gaskets and seals. Neoprene provided more suitable characteristics for specific applications in the automotive industry compared to natural rubber.

]]>Both natural rubber and synthetic rubber (IR) have high tear resistance, good low temperature flexibility, and high tensile strength. An advantage natural rubber has over synthetic rubber is that natural rubber has higher tensile strength, higher tear resistance, and low odor compared to IR. Special properties can also be found in other synthetic rubbers besides IR. These can include chemical resistances, fluid resistances, ozone resistances, electrical resistances, and more. In addition, synthetic rubbers can have excellent heat resistance, lower temperature resistance, and heat aging improvements. Another consideration for choosing between natural rubber vs synthetic rubber is that natural rubber contains natural proteins which may cause allergic reactions when in placed in contact with human skin for prolonged periods. Despite these differences between natural rubber and synthetic rubber, both natural rubber and synthetic rubber are in high demand by manufacturers due to their low costs and satisfactory performance for most applications. According to Statista, there were 15,189 thousand metric tons of synthetic rubber and 13,225 thousand metric tons of natural rubber globally consumed in 2017. Indeed, although synthetic rubbers can provide a myriad of property improvements not found in natural rubber, natural rubber is still valued for its high performance and low cost.
