METRO RUBBER CORPORATION -Industrial Rubber Sheets
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer or commonly known as EPDM is a Synthetic Rubber synthesized from crude oil by-products. Unlike unsaturated Rubbers such as Natural – SBR - Neoprene, EPDM belongs to the saturated Polymer family thus more resistant to weather, heat, temperate (both high & low), Sunlight & Ozone. This makes it eligible to be used in harsh environments.
EPDM Rubber Sheets manufactured by us have smooth, glossy finish surfaces & are generally rotocured for consistency in material composition & homogeneous thickness throughout the length of every roll supplied.
Features:
Synthetic rubber was earlier developed as a substitute for Natural Rubber but due to its better performance in adverse weather, climate, aging, ozone, and Temperature, it is now preferred over Natural Rubber in areas that are more prone to such conditions. EPDM is a good Insulator for electric current & is impermeable to fluids & gases. Multi-color Rubber Products are generally made with it as is color-stable, which means superior color stability under UV & sunlight.
Application: Lining of Water Reservoirs (Geo membranes), Water Proofing of Roofs, Weather & Heat resistant Gaskets & Seals, Electrical Insulation Safety Floor Matting, Gas storage rubber balloons, Door seals in vehicle doors, windows, windscreens, wipers, refrigerators, Pads & trims for Solar Panels, Control Panels. Batteries, Anti Vibration Pads & mounts,
Composition:
EPDM Rubber Sheets are manufactured with Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-Monomer along with Carbon Black, fillers such as Calcium carbonate, plasticizers & Rubber Processing Chemicals. We generally prefer Peroxide curing over sulfur-based vulcanization for EPDM rubber sheets because it improves thermal stability, aging, compression set ratio & better prevention of color during the curing process.
Technical Specifications: EPDM Rubber Sheets are available as per the following Specifications & variations depending on requirements at the area of usage.
Sponge (micro-cellular Rubber) Sheets & Profiles are also available with us in EPDM Rubber in desired Size & Shape. Our firm also offers EPDM Rubber Sheets with one or more layers of Nylon Fabric Reinforcements (Diaphragm).
