In the global industry and agricultural field, rubber sheet is not only a normal material, but also a very important factor in ensuring equipment runs smoothly, raises safety, and increases the wellness of animals. Different formulations of different materials can help find exact solutions to meet various requirements in different industries. This blog provides rubber sheet usage in different fields to help you make a wise choice.
1. Mining Industry: durable against extreme wear-resistant
Equipment wear is a primary concern for the mining industry. Rubber sheet use in mining is an ideal choice for protecting equipment and reducing downtime costs.
- Резиновая подкладка: Widely used in the lining of ball mill tanks, pipes, flotation machines, slurry mixing equipment… effectively resists the impact of inside materials that impact the equipment and prevent adhesion. Ensure your project goes smoothly.
- Покрытие шкива: provides high friction on the conveyor belt drive drum, prevents belt slippage and deviation, and extends the lifespan of the whole system.
- Protective Equipment Rubber Sheet: Used as wear-resistant pads, fenders, and liners, it cushions impacts and protects the structure of machinery.
Recommended Rubber Sheet Materials: abrasion-resistant Natural Rubber, High-tensile strength and tear-resistant Natural Rubber, Synthetic rubber of NR and SBR.
2. Animal Husbandry/Agriculture: Improve animal wellness & production efficiency
A non-slip and durable rubber sheet put in dairy flooring is a very important factor in increasing milk production and makes cows, horses,and pigs more comfortable and healthy. Also easy to clean and maintain to help you save labour costs.
- Cow Mats: Used in dairy farm walkways, waiting areas, milking parlors, cow paths, feeding alleys, feeding areas, cow platforms, and weighing platforms, they offer excellent slip resistance, reducing cows’ stress during walking and standing, and reducing the risk of slipping and injuries. Rubber cow mats provide maximum grip, relieving stress on cows’ joints.
- Cow Mattresses: Comfortable rest areas provide cows with a soft, dry, and comfortable resting area, enhancing comfort and directly linked to increased milk production. Rubber cow mattresses are also easy to clean and disinfect, saving a lot of bedding material.
- Horse Stall Mats/Pig Mats: Effectively protect livestock joints, provide thermal insulation and floor heating, and facilitate thorough cleaning, significantly improving sanitation within the barn.
Recommended Rubber Sheet Materials: mainly material is SBR+NR: wear-resistant, elastic and aging resistant. Also add BR+CR: to effectively reduce the damage and corrosion of cow dung and urine to the rubber sheet.
3. Industrial, Automotive, Manufacturing: Sealing and Shock-Absorbing
From production lines to automotive manufacturing, rubber seals and shock-absorbing pads are the cornerstones of your project, to ensure sealing and prevent leaks, and maintain stable production.
- Rubber Seals (Gaskets, O-rings): Used for static and dynamic sealing in equipment, pipelines, and automobiles, preventing oil, water, and gas leaks.
- Rubber Vibration Pads: Installed under machine tools, generators, and other equipment, they effectively reduce vibration and noise, protecting equipment precision and building foundations.
- Rubber Conveyor Belts: Widely used in automotive assembly and packaging lines to transport a variety of products.
- Rubber Weatherstripping: Used on automotive doors and windows, it provides a triple advantage of waterproofing, dustproofing, and soundproofing.
Recommended Резиновый лист Materials: NBR (excellent oil resistance), SBR (cost-effectiveness), silicone (high-temperature resistance), Лист резины FKM и EPDM (aging resistance).
4. Energy, Chemical, and Marine: Make People and Equipment Safety in Harsh Environments
Power plants, chemical plants, and shipyards have extremely high safety requirements. Insulation and anti-corrosion rubber sheets are the first line of defense for protecting personnel and equipment.
- Insulation Rubber Mats: Laid on the floors of distribution rooms and substations, they provide absolute protection from electric shock to operators and comply with international safety regulations.
- Anti-Corrosion Rubber Linings (IIR Linings): Made with butyl rubber (IIR), they are used in chemical storage tanks and pipelines, offering excellent resistance to extreme chemical corrosion, including strong acids and alkalis.
- Marine Deck Rubber Mats: Provide a non-slip deck surface for flooring, resistant to seawater corrosion and UV exposure.
Also, some rubber gaskets and sealings are used in these industries.
Recommended Резиновый лист Materials: IIR (butyl rubber, chemical resistance), EPDM (weather-resistant insulation), CR (chloroprene rubber, flame retardant).
5. Construction and Fitness Industry: Quiet, Safe, Functional Flooring
From commercial buildings to gyms/sports fitness, rubber flooring provides safe, comfortable, and pretty environments.
- Резиновые напольные покрытия and Doormats:In warehouses of factories, subways, airports, commercial malls, garages, yards… that all need anti-slip and durable rubber flooring. In gym, there needsto be impact-resistant gym rubber flooring, especially for the weight area, to prevent sports injuries.
- Acoustic Material: serves as floor insulation, effectively reducing impact sound transmission.
- Waterproof Roofing Rubber Rolls: EPDM waterproofing membrane, used for waterproofing roofs and basements, offers a decades-long service life.
Recommended Rubber Sheet Materials: EPDM (color-stable, weather-resistant), SBR (highly elastic, cost-effective)
6. Food Process and Medical Industry and so on: Food Grade Standards
These industries has strict requirements for material safety, food-grade rubber sheet is the basis, used in direct or indirect contact worktops, some types of gaskets, comply with FDA, ensure odorlessness and non-toxicity.
Recommended Rubber Sheet Materials: white or transparent food-grade silicone rubber sheet
