Rubber Products
Polysource offers a huge range of Industrial Rubber Products to satisfy the most demanding applications. These range from Gaskets, where high flexibility and chemical resistance are paramount, to large moulded fenders.
Every Polysource Rubber Product is made to customer specifications. Rubber sheet is converted into Gaskets, Flooring, Seals and Barriers. Sheet thickness varies from 1 to 50mm.
Each main Rubber type has special properties:
- Neoprene Rubber - Good weatherability and resistance to abrasion.
- Nitrile Rubber - Resists oil and solvents. Not as weather resistant. Also called acrylonitrile, and NBR.
- Silicone Rubber - Good flexibility and resistance to ozone, sunlight, and oxidation. Very good electrical insulator.
- EPDM Rubber - Excellent for outdoor use.
- Natural Gum Rubber - Superior resilience, tensile strength, elasticity, and abrasion resistance.
- Viton Rubber - Resists corrosive environments, with exceptional resistance to heat, aging, weather, ozone, oxygen, and sunlight, plus fuels, solvents, and chemicals. Good flame resistance.
- SBR Rubber - Has good abrasion and wear resistance. Also called styrene butadiene.
- Santoprene Rubber - Combines the characteristics of rubber and plastic to produce a material that offers excellent weatherability and chemical resistance.
- Butyl Rubber - Nearly air and gas tight. Has good weatherability, oxidation resistance, and electrical resistance. Excellent resistance to alkalies and acids. Often used for inner tubes.
Applications of Gaskets include:
- Flow Valves
- Commercial Lighting Enclosures
- Pipework
- Lids of Chemical Vessels
- Vacuum and Pressure Vessels
Polysource Floor Matting is one of our biggest items, and covers a wide range of applications, from cow matting to retail and industrial staff mats, where anti-fatigue and secure grip dramatically improve operator comfort and safety.
Polysource Moulded and Extruded Products have no design limits. Our tooling costs are approximately 10% that of Plastic moulds, due the simpler processing requirements.
Second hand Conveyor Belting falls into the Rubber Category, and is in big demand. Polysource Mining Ply Belting is cut to size and length, and comes in a range of thicknesses from 6 to 15mm.
Applications of Belting include:
- Transport Spill Guards
- Animal Enclosures
- Chassis Vibration Insulation
- Sound Deadening Liners
