Rubber sheets or sheet rubbers are pieces of materials that are engineered from rubbers or rubber-coated clothes designed for a range of applications in various environments. Rubbers offer strong resistance against various parameters and are extremely flexible. Rubber sheeting also comes in varied designs and materials, such as roofing rubber sheets, flooring rubber sheets, foam rubber sheeting, or a rubber roll. Additionally, they also maintain their elasticity and flexibility even in harsh or chilly weather conditions.
What Are the Advantages of Using Rubber Sheets?
Rubber sheeting offers a great range of benefits, such as:
- They are versatile.
- Available in multiple packages and colour varieties.
- They resist petroleum, electricity, UV lights, rusting, and discoloration.
- They are safe to use and offer robust protection.
- Offer excellent suitability for a range of applications.
- Environment-friendly, Non-toxic.
- They are highly reliable, durable, and economical.
- Prevent vibrations from machines naturally.
What Are the Various Types of Rubber Sheets?
Rubber sheets are classified into various types based on their materials. Some of them include the following:
Natural rubber-sheets offer multiple benefits with excellent specifications and mechanical properties, such as resistance to tearing and abrasion, high tensile strength, flexibility, softness, and desired moulding into various shapes.
A nitrile rubber-sheet finds applications in the food and beverage industries and offers several mechanical properties. This sheeting offers excellent oil, abrasion, and grease resistivity and good tensile strength.
Though silicone rubber sheets are extremely resistant to UV (ultraviolet) light, high temperatures, and weathering, they are suited for outdoor applications. They also offer robust flexibility with excellent reliability.
A neoprene rubber sheet is typically used for a range of gaskets and sleeves. Like silicone rubber sheets, neoprene sheets are widely suitable for outdoor applications due to their weathering-resistant attributes, including animal and vegetable oils.
- Polyethylene Rubber-Sheets
Polyethylene rubbers, made from high-density closed-cell materials, are widely used for expansion joints and machinery cushioning applications. Due to their sturdy materials, they are permeable to water and air. In addition, they also offer anti-abrasion and shock-absorbing properties.
EPDM rubber sheet rubber is designed to be used as a gasket, seal, or cable joint with various unique characteristics. They are resistant to ozone, abrasion, and chemicals and are watertight. Additionally, they are distinguished due to their anti-aging properties.
- Fluorocarbon Rubber Sheets
Fluorocarbon sheets are ideal for the automotive industry as gaskets, seals, and wipers. They are mostly suitable for environments where fuels or oils are present. Fluorocarbon is a high-performance material that offers excellent resistance to chemicals and exceeding temperatures.
Why and Where Are Rubber Sheets Used?
- Rubber sheeting is a crucial material for a range of domestic, commercial, and industrial environments for various applications.
- Depending on the sheeting rubber types and applications, they are widely utilized for different purposes, such as for protection, to produce bump stops or to cushion, for gasket cutting, and as seals/scrapers for various workplaces like garage doors.
- Industrial rubber sheeting is also widely used in a range of industries for insulation, sealing roofing, power cable jointing, etc.
