Natural Rubber
Natural Rubber has good all round properties including resistance to abrasion. It has relatively low resistance to temperature and petroleum based fluids. It has excellent mechanical properties, good ozone, acid and alkali resistance, but not adequate for use with oils and solvents. It is available with 1Ply or 2 Ply cotton or nylon insertions for reinforcement.
EPDM Rubber
A fully synthetic rubber made from 100% EPDM Polymer. It also has basic resistance to some chemicals and acids. EPDM rubber has good ozone, weathering and temperature resistance. It is used for sealing against diluted and highly concentrated acids and lyes. Available in Potable Water Certified to AS/NZS4020 drinking water standards.
Neoprene Rubber
Neoprene is a chloroprene rubber jointing sheet, both sides smooth. It has good weathering and heat resistance and good mechanical properties. It is available with 1 ply cotton reinforcement for standard applications or a high strength nylon where extra tear resistance is required. It has excellent resistance to ageing, seawater and to all meteorological conditions. It has excellent resistance to alcohol, alkali and acid (both dilute and concentrate). Great dielectric strength for use in flange insulation.
Nitrile (Buna-N) Rubber
A fully synthetic rubber made from 100% Nitrile Rubber which has excellent resistance to petroleum based fluids and aromatics. Nitrile Rubber is suitable for sealing against oil, gasoline and gas. It ages moderately well. It also has good mechanical properties, like traction, compression and impermability to gases.
Viton Rubber
Viton is a high grade fully synthetic fluoroelastomer. Of all synthetic rubber types, Viton is the most resistant to hydrocarbons. It is non ageing and has good mechanical properties. Viton is resistant to chemicals and useful for sealing against acids and lyes of any concentration, solvents, aliphatics and aromatic hydrocarbons, Freon 12, oils and fats and gasoline. It has excellent resistance to weathering and ozone.
