What is Rubber Sheeting?
Rubber sheeting is the process of creating flat, flexible sheets of rubber that can be used in various applications. These sheets are manufactured in different thicknesses, widths, and lengths, allowing for customisation based on specific requirements. Our rubber sheets can be cut, shaped, and finished to fit various industrial, commercial, and domestic uses.
The Rubber Sheeting Process
The rubber sheeting process involves several key steps to ensure the highest quality and precision:
- Material Selection: The process begins with selecting the appropriate rubber compound based on the desired properties, such as flexibility, durability, chemical resistance, and temperature tolerance.
- Mixing and Compounding: The selected rubber materials are mixed and compounded to create a homogeneous blend. This step ensures the rubber has consistent properties throughout.
- Calendering: The rubber compound is passed through a series of rollers (calendering) to form it into flat sheets of the desired thickness.
- Cutting and Shaping: Once the rubber sheets are formed, they can be cut and shaped using precision tools to meet the customer’s specific dimensions and requirements.
- Finishing: Additional treatments, such as vulcanisation, can be applied to enhance the properties of the rubber sheets, making them more durable and suitable for various applications.
Applications of Rubber Sheeting
Rubber sheeting is used across numerous industries due to its versatility and wide range of properties.
Industrial Applications
- Gaskets and Seals: Rubber sheets are often used to create gaskets and seals that prevent leaks and ensure tight seals in machinery and equipment.
- Vibration Dampening:Rubber sheets can dampen vibrations in industrial machines, reducing noise and wear.
- Protective Coverings: Rubber sheeting provides a protective layer for surfaces, shielding them from abrasion, chemicals, and other damaging elements.
Commercial Applications
