Shock - Absorbing Durable Rubber Pad for Golf Cart Windshield Clip to Ensure Stable Installation

Fillers like calcium carbonate, added in the range of 10 - 20% by weight, improve mechanical properties and reduce cost. But too much filler can decrease rubber flexibility and overall performance. Antioxidants and UV stabilizers, with a total content of at least 2% by weight, protect the rubber from oxidation and degradation due to sunlight and oxygen, ensuring long - term performance in outdoor use.

The length of the pad, specified as [X] mm with a ±1 mm tolerance, depends on the size of the windshield clip and the area it needs to cover. The width, [Y] mm with a ±0.5 mm tolerance, ensures sufficient coverage and stability. The thickness, [Z] mm with a ±0.2 mm tolerance, is crucial for vibration - dampening and cushioning. 

EPDM rubber is selected because golf carts are used outdoors. EPDM can endure sunlight (UV rays), rain, and temperature changes without degrading significantly. It also resists ozone well, which is useful in polluted areas. The Shore A hardness of 60 - 70 Shore A in EPDM provides a good balance between flexibility to fit the windshield and clip and durability to withstand mechanical stress during golf cart operation.
