Battling the Heat to Ensure On-Time Delivery — A Firsthand Account of Bohai Rubber & Plastics Management and Office Staff Working on the Front Lines

Aug 14,2026

[Dalian News] Since the onset of summer, Dalian has endured a string of scorching hot days, causing indoor workshop temperatures to soar. At Dalian Bohai Rubber & Plastics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Bohai Rubber”), some frontline production positions have faced temporary staffing shortages due to employees taking leave amid the heat, posing a significant challenge to the company’s already tight production and delivery schedules. Confronted with the dual pressures of extreme heat and labor shortages, Bohai Rubber’s management responded swiftly by issuing a call to “decentralize management and mobilize all staff to cover shifts.” Mid-level managers and office-based professionals stepped out of their air-conditioned cubicles, donned work uniforms and protective gear, and took up frontline roles in the molding and vulcanization processes. Throughout the factory workshops, it was common to see white-collar workers transforming into blue-collar operators.

The natural rubber industry is entering its strongest period of policy-driven benefits—Production Management

Jul 23,2026

Natural rubber, alongside steel, coal, and petroleum, is regarded as one of the world’s four major industrial raw materials and serves as an irreplaceable strategic commodity in sectors such as transportation, healthcare, and national defense. However, China, the world’s largest consumer and importer of natural rubber, is projected to import 6.492 million tons by 2025, with an external dependence exceeding 80% and a self-sufficiency rate of less than 25%.

Adhesion of rubber to metal

Jul 23,2026

Vulcanized bonding between rubber and metal is a complex yet critical technology, widely employed in industries such as automotive, aerospace, machinery, and medical devices. Through the vulcanization process, rubber and metal can be firmly joined, combining their respective advantages—such as rubber’s elasticity and vibration‑damping properties with metal’s high strength and rigidity—thereby enhancing the material’s overall performance. This paper provides an in-depth examination of rubber–metal vulcanized bonding, covering its underlying principles, methods, applications, and associated challenges.
