Sheet rubber goods are available in full rolls or cut to your specifications.

A wide choice of basic polymers (rubbers) is available, and some of these rubbers can be blended or compounded to obtain different properties. Rubbers or elastomers are mixed with various chemicals in order to provide the reinforcement and curing ingredients required to produce the physical properties necessary for the service conditions.

Polymers Most Commonly Used in Sheet Rubber  

NATURAL            Isoprene, natural                Excellent physical properties inculding abrasion and low temperature resistance. Poor resistance to petroleum-based fluids.                         

SBR                       Styrene-butadiene              Good physical properties and abrasion resistance. Poor resistance to petroleum based fluids.

NEOPRENE         Chloroprene                        Good weathering resistance. Flame retarding. Moderate resistance to petroleum based fluids. Good physical properties.

BUNA-N               Nitrile-butadiene                 Excellent resistance to petroleum based fluids. Good physical properties.

BUTYL                  Isobutene-Isoprene              Very good weathering resistance. Excellent dielectric properties. Low permeability to air. Good physical properties. Poor resistance to petroleum-based fluids.

ETHYLENE-PROPYLENE       Ethylene-propylene-diene    Excellent ozone, chemical, and aging resistance. Poor resistance to petroleum-based fluids.   

VITON                   Hexaflouro-propylene-vinyl-idene fluoride     Excellent oil and air resistance at both high and low temperatures.  Very good chemical resistance.

CLOTH INSERTED               SBR/Neoprene      Cotton, Nylon or other fiber is inserted between layers of above listed elastomers or polymers to reduce stretch and flow in service conditions.
