Our commitment to sourcing the right type of rubber sheeting ensures that our clients receive products tailored to their specific needs.
Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR)
SBR is a synthetic rubber known for its versatility and cost-effectiveness. It is widely used in various applications due to its excellent abrasion resistance and good aging stability.
Chemical Resistance: Moderate resistance to acids and bases
Temperature Range: -40°C to 100°C
Tensile Strength: 2,500 - 3,000 psi
Applications: SBR is commonly used in the manufacturing of tires, conveyor belts, gaskets, and seals. Its affordability and durability make it a popular choice for general-purpose rubber sheeting.
Nitrile-Butadiene Rubber (NBR)
NBR, also known as Buna-N, is a synthetic rubber that offers excellent resistance to oil, fuel, and chemicals. It is particularly valued for its durability in harsh environments.
Chemical Resistance: High resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels
Temperature Range: -40°C to 120°C
Tensile Strength: 1,500 - 3,000 psi
Applications: NBR is ideal for applications requiring resistance to oils and chemicals, such as fuel hoses, gaskets, seals, and O-rings. It is also used in the automotive and aerospace industries.
EPDM Rubber
EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer) rubber is known for its excellent weather and ozone resistance. It performs well in outdoor applications and maintains its properties over a wide temperature range.
Chemical Resistance: Good resistance to water, steam, and many chemicals
Temperature Range: -50°C to 150°C
Tensile Strength: 1,500 - 2,500 psi
Applications: EPDM is commonly used in roofing membranes, weatherstripping, seals, and gaskets. Its resistance to UV radiation and weathering makes it suitable for outdoor and automotive applications.
Chloroprene Rubber (Neoprene Rubber)
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that offers a balanced combination of properties, including good chemical stability and flexibility over a wide temperature range.
Chemical Resistance: Moderate resistance to oils and chemicals
Temperature Range: -40°C to 120°C
Tensile Strength: 2,000 - 3,000 psi
Applications: Neoprene is ideal for gaskets, seals, hoses, and corrosion-resistant coatings. It is also used in the production of wetsuits and orthopedic braces due to its flexibility and durability.
Natural Rubber (NR)
Natural rubber is sourced sustainably from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis). It is known for its excellent mechanical properties, including high tensile strength and elasticity.
Chemical Resistance: Limited resistance to oils and chemicals
Temperature Range: -50°C to 80°C
Tensile Strength: 2,500 - 3,500 psi
Applications: Natural rubber is used in a variety of applications, including tires, footwear, adhesives, and vibration dampening products. Its sustainable sourcing and superior mechanical properties make it a preferred choice for many industries.
