Research & Development

MIL's well equipped & full-fledged Testing and Product Development in Rubberlining and other allied activities has been accorded recognition in 1981 by the Ministry of Science & Technology, Department of Scientific & Industrial Research, Govt. of India. Over five and half decades, MIL has successfully developed a number of special rubber compounds, adhesives and import substitutes to meet the growing need of corrosion resistant materials and services. A list of such products successfully developed and commercialized is given below.
