CR (Neoprene) rubber sheeting
Chloroprene (CR), generally known as Neoprene, has more resistance than natural rubber to sunlight, ozone and oxidation. It has good resistance to heat and does not soften as natural rubber does under severe exposure. It has moderate oil resistance but is not suitable for use with petrol. It can be compounded to possesses flame retardant properties.
NBR (Nitrile) rubber sheeting
Generally known as Nitrile, it has excellent resistance to water, oil, fuel and other petroleum products. It is superior to most elastomers in compression set, cold flow and abrasion resistance. It does not, however, posses good resistance to ozone, sunlight or weather. Temperature range -20 °C to + 80 °C.
EPDM rubber sheeting
Ethylene Propylene rubber has outstanding resistance to ageing, weathering, ozone, oxygen and many chemicals. It has high and low temperature stability as well as steam and water resistance. It has a good resistance to glycol-ether hydraulic fluids but is not suitable for contact with petroleum liquids. Operational temperature range -25 °C to + 100 °C.
NR (Para) rubber sheeting
Natural rubber offers a good balance of properties, particularly for mechanical applications and can be compounded to produce high resilience, good tensile strength, low compression set and high tear properties over a wide range of hardnesses. The abrasion resistance of natural rubber is good. It has better resilience, and maintains flexibility at lower temperatures better than most synthetics. However, natural rubber is less resistant to ozone, petroleum oils and fluids than some of the synthetics. The operational temperature range of natural rubbers is -25 °C to + 80 °C.
Silicone (MPQ) rubber sheeting
Silicone rubber has excellent resistance to temperature extremes. Temperatures as high as 200°C have a little effect on the physical properties of the elastomer. However, it has poor tensile strength, tear, abrasion and steam resistance. It has very good resistance to sunlight, ozone, oxygen, gases and possesses good electrical insulation properties, water repellency and non adhesiveness. Temperature range -60 °C to + 220 °C.
