Rubber products for cold weather military operations will become increasingly important for parts management programs. As melting ice opens new shipping routes, the Arctic is emerging as a geopolitical hotspot. Renewed tensions between NATO and Russia have led to increased military and economic competition in the region, and China is now seeking to establish itself as an Arctic power.
Canada, where Elasto Proxy is based, may acquire a new submarine fleet to help defend its 234,042 km coastline, of which 162,000 km is in the Arctic. Denmark,which includes the semi-autonomous territory of Greenland, recently announced that it would spend Two Billion dollars to bolster its Arctic defenses. Meanwhile, NATO’s Centre of Excellence for Cold Weather Operations stands ready.
Come in From the Cold
Rubber products for cold weather military operations will not get the attention of new weapons systems, but they are an important part of assets that operate in the Arctic and the frigid North Atlantic. Cold temperatures can cause rubber to become stiff and brittle, however, and using the wrong type of rubber can result in cracking and part failure.
