Electrical Properties   Rubbers can be manufactured to be highly insulative or conductive. Designers and users should be aware of these properties and ensure that appropriate materials are specified and tested in use. It must not be assumed that black rubber compounds have insulating properties, since conductive carbon black is a common reinforcing ingredient.
