Discover our extensive range of high-quality rubber sheets, engineered to provide unparalleled performance, durability, and versatility across a myriad of industrial, commercial, and domestic applications. Whether you need robust sealing, effective vibration dampening, protective barriers, or custom fabrication, our rubber sheeting solutions are designed to meet your most demanding specifications.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Exceptional Durability & Longevity: Manufactured from resilient rubber compounds, our sheets withstand harsh environments, resist wear and tear, and offer an extended service life.
• Superior Flexibility & Resilience: Adapts easily to irregular surfaces, absorbs impact, and maintains its form even after repeated compression or stretching.
• Effective Protection & Sealing: Provides reliable barriers against liquids, gases, dust, and contaminants, making them ideal for gaskets, seals, and protective linings.
• Excellent Vibration & Noise Dampening: Reduces operational noise and absorbs mechanical vibrations, contributing to quieter and more stable machinery.
• Wide Range of Resistances: Available in various rubber types, each offering specific resistances to oils, chemicals, extreme temperatures, UV, ozone, and weathering.
• Easy Fabrication & Customization: Can be readily cut, punched, or die-cut to precise dimensions and shapes, allowing for tailored solutions to unique project requirements.
• Multi-Purpose Application: From industrial machinery to automotive, marine, construction, and DIY projects, our rubber sheets are incredibly adaptable.

Available Materials & Their Properties:

We offer a comprehensive selection of rubber materials, each with unique characteristics to suit specific application demands:

• Natural Rubber (NR):
  • Strengths: Excellent tensile strength, elongation, tear resistance, and abrasion resistance. Good low-temperature flexibility.
  • Weaknesses: Poor resistance to oils, fuels, ozone, and UV.
  • Ideal for: Abrasion-resistant linings, conveyor belts, anti-vibration mounts, sealing where oil isn't present.
• Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR):
  • Strengths: General-purpose, economical, good abrasion, impact, and tensile strength. Similar to Natural Rubber but with better aging properties.
  • Weaknesses: Poor oil, ozone, and weathering resistance.
  • Ideal for: Gaskets, seals, anti-vibration pads, skirting, and general industrial applications where cost-effectiveness is key.
• Neoprene (Chloroprene Rubber - CR):
  • Strengths: Good all-round performer. Excellent balance of oil, chemical, ozone, weathering, and abrasion resistance. Good adhesion to metal.
  • Weaknesses: Moderate high-temperature resistance compared to specialized rubbers.
  • Ideal for: Outdoor applications, general-purpose seals, weatherstripping, electrical insulation, and applications requiring a balance of properties.
• EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer):
  • Strengths: Outstanding resistance to weather, ozone, UV, steam, water, and polar solvents. Excellent electrical insulating properties.
  • Weaknesses: Poor resistance to oils, fuels, and non-polar solvents.
  • Ideal for: Roofing membranes, automotive weatherstripping, outdoor seals, pond liners, and high-temperature water/steam applications.
• Nitrile (Buna-N / NBR):
  • Strengths: Excellent resistance to oils, fuels, grease, and many petroleum-based hydraulic fluids. Good abrasion and tear resistance.
  • Weaknesses: Limited resistance to ozone, UV, and certain aggressive solvents.
  • Ideal for: Fuel and oil hoses, gaskets, seals in automotive, aerospace, and oil & gas industries.
• Silicone (VMQ):
  • Strengths: Extreme high and low-temperature resistance (-60°C to +200°C+). Excellent UV, ozone, and weathering resistance. Physiologically inert (food/medical grade available).
  • Weaknesses: Poor abrasion, tear strength, and tensile strength compared to other rubbers. Not suitable for dynamic seals.
  • Ideal for: High-temperature gaskets, food and pharmaceutical processing, medical devices, electrical insulation, and extreme weather sealing.
• Viton (Fluoroelastomer - FKM):
  • Strengths: Superior resistance to aggressive chemicals, fuels, oils, high temperatures (up to 250°C+), and ozone. Very low gas permeability.
  • Weaknesses: Expensive. Poor low-temperature flexibility compared to silicone.
  • Ideal for: Highly demanding aerospace, chemical processing, and automotive applications where extreme chemical and heat resistance are paramount.

Common Applications:

• Gaskets & Seals: For pipes, flanges, machinery, and enclosures.
• Anti-Vibration Pads: Under machinery, HVAC units, and heavy equipment.
• Floor Matting & Protection: Workshop floors, gym mats, truck bed liners, anti-fatigue mats.
• Lining & Skirting: Chutes, hoppers, conveyor systems, wall protection.
• Weather Stripping & Insulation: Doors, windows, marine hatches, electrical enclosures.
• Sound Dampening: Acoustic panels, automotive interiors.
• Diaphragms & Washers: For pumps, valves, and various mechanical systems.
• DIY & Craft Projects: Custom cutouts, protective layers, non-slip surfaces.

Technical Specifications (General & Typical):

• Thickness: Available from 0.5mm up to 50mm (various incremental steps).
• Width: Common widths include 1000mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, 2000mm (or custom).
• Length: Supplied in rolls typically 5m, 10m, or 20m, or as individual sheets.
• Hardness: Ranging from 30 Shore A (very soft) to 90 Shore A (very hard), dependent on material.
• Color: Standard black, but also available in red, white, grey, blue, and translucent depending on rubber type.
• Surface Finish: Smooth, fabric impression, or patterned (e.g., checker plate, ribbed).
• Temperature Range: Varies significantly by material type (e.g., EPDM: -40°C to +120°C, Silicone: -60°C to +200°C).
• Specific Gravity: Varies by compound (typically 1.1 to 1.6 g/cm³).
