A Measurable Advantage
FRICTION
There are two kinds of friction – breakaway and sliding. Our main concern is breakaway, because once you begin sliding you’re toast. We use an Instron 5543 (see fig.1b) to measure the peak friction force before breakaway. Rubber samples are cleaned thoroughly using two different solvents, fig.1a placed in an Espec environmental test chamber, and brought to a predetermined temperature. Samples are then placed under the friction test head with appropriate test weights on a rolling table (see fig.1a). The table/ rubber sample is then pulled through a pulley by the Instron (see fig.1b). Each test is generally done 5 times at each temperature. High and low results are discarded fig.1b and the middle three are averaged. This rigorous testing ensures that Stealth® rubber will deliver the highest friction on any specific terrain in any specific environment.
711
Hardness Hand held durometers are the most common and least precise measurement of rubber. To help eliminate human error we use the Instron Shore Conveloader, which lowers a 1kg weight at a specific rate determined by a hydraulic dashpot on to a rubber sample to measure
its hardness. The quality control standard in rubber for hardness is +/– 5 Shore A. Stealth® manufactures its rubber to tolerances of +/- 2 Shore A.
fig.2
Quality control Our state-of-the–art MDR2000 (see fig.2) can test both viscous (friction related) and elastic (edging related) elements of compounds. While this has helped us create new compounds we also use this to control batch-to-batch consistency.
Abrasion There is a common misconception that all sticky rubbers have low abrasion. This may be true of most rubbers, but it is not true of Stealth® rubber. We test our rubbers with three different kinds of abrasion testers to verify Stealth®’s durability - Taber, Pico and DIN.
RESILIENCE The Bayshore resiliometer measure the resilience (bounce) giving us additional clues as to the viscoelastic components of the rubber.

Our new Mystique™ has eight times the durability of our Stealth®® C4™--the high friction standard for two decades and most popular rubber of all time. Mystique establishes a new benchmark in high friction durability--it stands alone in its class.

The world’s hardest rock climbs were made possible with Stealth® C4™ and it’s still the favorite of many top climbers. C4™ provides high friction and excellent edging.
The ideal compound for hiking and mountain biking shoes because it absorbs far more shock than traditional rubber outsoles. The high friction rubber is also designed for durability.
Shore A Durometer is 76-80.
Shore A Durometer is 67-71.
Many modern rock climbs and boulder problems involve overhanging rock. We designed HF™ rubber to enable climbers to pull in with their feet. HF™ is super sticky and conforms to the smallest edges and crystals.
Saving the world, one fish at a time. All major wading shoe manufacturers have switched from felt to AquaStealth™ in order to combat the potentially catastrophic Whirling Disease. Anglers also gain superior traction in wet, slick conditions.
Shore A Durometer is 66-70.
Designed for great grip in both wet and dry conditions, Stealth® Amphibia™ combines high friction with durability. Amphibia™ is ideal for canyoneering, paddle sports, boating and fishing.
The new standard in high friction rubber, ONYXX™ has unbeatable hardness for precision edging, stickiness for friction, and exceptional durability.
Leave no trace. NEW Stealth® Phantom™ is totally non-marking without sacrificing high friction and durability. Non-marking rubber ensures skateboarders, freerunners and all indoor/ outdoor athletes the cloak of invisibility. Available in colors.
Shore A Durometer is 80-84.
A brutally tough rubber designed to be lighter weight with twice the endurance of previous rubbers. Exotic ingredients get o -the-chart marks on the PICO abrasion resistance test. Shore A Durometer is 69-73.
Shore A Durometer is 61-65. Shore A Durometer is 68-72.
Shore A Durometer is 59-63.
