Here is the introduction to rubber sheets translated into English:
Definition and Basic Information
A sheet product made of rubber as the main material, which may contain reinforcing materials such as fabrics or metal sheets, and is formed by vulcanization. It has a certain thickness and a large area, commonly known as rubber sheet. Its English translation is "rubber slab" or "rubber sheet". It can work in the air under low pressure and at temperatures ranging from 20°C to 140°C. Common colors include black, gray, green, blue, etc.
Classification
- By Medium Inclusion: Pure rubber sheets, fabric-reinforced rubber sheets, metal skeleton-reinforced rubber sheets, etc.
- By Use: Industrial rubber sheets and rubber floorings.
- By Physical and Chemical Properties: Fabric-reinforced rubber sheets, cloth-laminated rubber sheets, insulating rubber sheets, oil-resistant rubber sheets, etc.
- By Color and Surface Treatment: Black rubber sheets, green rubber sheets, red rubber sheets, cloth-textured rubber sheets, extra-wide rubber sheets, etc.
Production Process
- Mixing: Fully blend raw rubber with additives like sulfur and accelerators in an internal mixer at a process temperature of about 130°C.
- Open Mill Mixing: Further improve rubber plasticity on an open mill, typically at a temperature of 80°C.
- Calendering: Process semi-finished products to the required thickness and width according to product specifications.
- Vulcanization: Through the action of pressure and temperature, enable rubber to obtain physical and mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elasticity, and hardness. The vulcanization temperature is usually controlled at about 130°C.
Performance Characteristics
- Good Elasticity and Flexibility: Capable of producing large deformations without breaking under external forces, suitable for shock absorption and sound insulation applications.
- Excellent Waterproofness: Maintains good performance in humid environments, making it an ideal choice for outdoor sports equipment.
- Superior Wear Resistance: Maintains good surface finish and service life during long-term use, widely applied in industrial production.
Application Fields
- Industrial Sector: Used for equipment sealing, anti-corrosion, wear resistance, and impact protection in industrial and mining enterprises, such as protecting equipment and pipelines in mining, and anti-corrosion in desulfurization systems and water treatment of thermal power plants.
- Construction Sector: Used as floor paving materials (e.g., rubber flooring) with anti-slip and wear-resistant properties, and also for door and window seals.
- Transportation Sector: Applied to vehicle sealing rings, gaskets, etc., for shock absorption and sealing purposes.
