Understanding Different Varieties of Rubber Sheets

Fluoroelastomer Specialists

Flexible rubber sheets are manufactured by processing different types of base materials, such as natural rubber, reclaimed rubber, recycled rubber and synthetic rubber. These sheets find many applications in different industries, such as chemical, automotive, military & defense, construction, aerospace, mining, marine, etc.

Furthermore, depending upon the type of sheet, flexible rubber sheets possess different properties. Some of the commonly used types are neoprene sheets, EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) sheets, nitrile (Buna-N / NBR) sheets, SBR (styrene butadiene rubber) sheets, silicone sheets, butyl sheets, viton sheets, thermoplastic elastomer sheets, etc. Each type has different beneficial properties, such as high tensile strength, better rebound elasticity, goof flexibility, high tensile strength and corrosion resistance, among others.
