Vulcanization, or rubber curing, is the chemical process where natural rubber is converted into a durable material that can be used for flooring. Forbo Flooring Systems are a global leader in high quality rubber flooring and required a data logger to monitor temperature during the rubber curing process.

Rubber curing requires a constant temperature of 190°C for over 3 hours, a challenge that has been robustly tackled using a Madgetech dry heat sterilization data logging system. By using the HiTemp140 M12 data logger with interchangeable temperature probe and protected by the ThermoVault Max stainless steel thermal barrier, Forbo are now able to collect precise measurements better than 0.1°C for over 5 hours.
