A Rubber Sheet is a versatile material used across various industries for applications requiring durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors. Made from natural or synthetic rubber compounds, these sheets offer excellent properties such as waterproofing, insulation, and abrasion resistance. They are commonly utilized in gaskets, seals, mats, and protective linings.
Our rubber sheets are manufactured to meet international standards, ensuring top performance. Below is a detailed table of specifications for different types of rubber sheets we offer.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Natural Rubber Sheet | 1-50 | 40-80 | 17-25 | -50 to +80 | Gaskets, seals, anti-vibration pads |
| Nitrile Rubber Sheet | 1-50 | 50-90 | 10-25 | -30 to +120 | Oil seals, fuel hoses, industrial mats |
| Neoprene Rubber Sheet | 1-50 | 40-90 | 10-20 | -40 to +100 | Weather stripping, wetsuits, insulation |
| EPDM Rubber Sheet | 1-50 | 30-90 | 7-15 | -50 to +150 | Roofing membranes, automotive seals |
| Silicone Rubber Sheet | 1-50 | 20-80 | 5-10 | -60 to +230 | Food-grade applications, medical devices |
What factors should I consider when choosing a rubber sheet?
Consider the application environment, such as exposure to chemicals, temperatures, and mechanical stress. Also, evaluate thickness, hardness, and material type (e.g., natural, nitrile) based on industry standards.
How do I maintain and clean a rubber sheet?
Use mild soap and water for routine cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals that may degrade the material. For storage, keep sheets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent aging.
Can rubber sheets be customized for specific sizes or shapes?
Yes, we offer custom cutting and shaping services. Provide your dimensions and requirements, and we can manufacture sheets to fit exact specifications, including perforations or special textures.
Are rubber sheets resistant to UV rays and ozone?
Some types, like EPDM and neoprene, have excellent resistance to UV and ozone degradation. Always check the material specifications for environmental resistance based on your needs.
What is the typical lifespan of a rubber sheet?
Lifespan varies by material and usage. High-quality sheets can last 10-20 years with proper maintenance, though harsh conditions may reduce this period. Regular inspections are recommended.
Do you offer samples before purchasing?
Yes, we provide sample kits upon request. This allows you to test the material for compatibility with your application before committing to a large order.
How are rubber sheets shipped and delivered?
Sheets are rolled or flat-packed, depending on thickness, and shipped in protective packaging to prevent damage. Delivery times vary by location, with express options available.
What industries commonly use rubber sheets?
Industries include automotive, construction, marine, aerospace, healthcare, and manufacturing. They are used for sealing, insulation, padding, and protective layers.
Is natural rubber or synthetic rubber better for my project?
Natural rubber offers superior elasticity and tear resistance, while synthetic rubbers like nitrile provide better oil and chemical resistance. Choose based on specific performance requirements.
Can rubber sheets be used outdoors?
Yes, many rubber sheets are designed for outdoor use. Materials like EPDM are highly weather-resistant and ideal for roofing, outdoor seals, and garden applications.
