Key Properties & Limitations
Superior Properties
Property | Benefit |
High Elasticity & Resilience | Stretches significantly (up to 800-900% elongation) and recovers shape, excellent for repeated deformation. |
Excellent Tensile Strength | Withstands substantial pulling forces before breaking, contributing to durability. |
Superior Abrasion Resistance | Exceptional resistance to friction and rubbing, ideal for constant contact applications. |
Good Tear Resistance | Crucial for longevity in demanding industrial uses. |
Excellent Compression Set | Retains original shape after prolonged compression, vital for effective sealing and cushioning. |
Good Vibration Dampening | Absorbs and dissipates energy from impacts and vibrations, reducing noise. |
Limitations
Poor Ozone and UV Resistance
Poor Oil and Chemical Resistance
Limited High-Temperature Resistance
Applications
Our Natural Rubber Sheets are utilized in applications that require high physical strength and flexibility:
Gaskets and Seals: Used where elasticity and a low compression set are needed, excluding exposure to oils or harsh chemicals.
Conveyor Belts: Functions as a cover material due to its superior abrasion resistance and tensile strength in mining, agriculture, and material handling.
Anti-Vibration Mounts and Pads: Ideal for absorbing shocks and dampening vibrations in machinery, automotive parts, and industrial equipment.3
Skirting Rubber: Provides a flexible barrier on conveyor systems to prevent material spillage.4
Bridge Bearing Pads: Accommodates heavy loads and movement (thermal expansion/contraction) in structural applications.
Flooring and Matting: Popular for industrial flooring, anti-fatigue mats, and safety surfacing due to durability and anti-slip properties.5
