Abstract:
A method of coating elastomeric components, said method comprising the steps of:a) providing an extended flat mat comprising a plurality of protruding elastomeric components connected with each other in said mat;b) coating at least one side of the mat comprising the protruding elastomeric components to provide a layer on the at least one side of the mat; andc) after the coating of step b), punching the protruding elastomeric components out of the mat to form a plurality of unconnected elastomeric components, each at least partially coated with a portion of said layer;whereby said portion of said layer on each of said unconnected elastomeric components provides the unconnected elastomeric components with increased inertness and improved sliding and static friction properties.
