Arthur Rubber Company
The Compound Library

150+ proprietary compounds. Each one developed to solve a real customer problem.

Most roll shops buy stock compounds from a custom compounder. Arthur Rubber's in-house chemist has spent decades building a library of branded, proprietary rubber and polyurethane compounds — each one field-proven before it joined the catalog. Below: our most frequently requested branded compounds.

Branded compound families.

A snapshot of our most-requested formulations. The full library spans 150+ compounds across every major elastomer family. Don't see what you need? Tell us your application — we'll engineer something.
