Natural Rubber

Natural rubber is a versatile and effective material used in seals for various applications. Derived from the milky sap of the Hevea brasiliensis tree, natural rubber possesses exceptional elasticity, resilience, and durability. Its excellent tear resistance and ability to withstand low temperatures make it an ideal choice for sealing applications. Natural rubber seals exhibit impressive resistance against water and air, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments. Furthermore, its low compression set allows for efficient sealing and prevents leakage. The inherent properties of natural rubber contribute to long-lasting seals that provide reliable performance to the overall efficiency and effectiveness in certain applications.

Features and Benefits:

Compared to rubber seals that are made with synthetic materials, like Silicone and EPDM, the tensile strength that natural rubber has is excellent. This allows the seal to be able to return to its original shape without it being permanently damaged or deformed, after it has been under stress, compression and stretching.

Another great property of natural rubber is its tear resistance. This means that the material will be able to withstand tearing or cracking while it is subject to an extreme force. Depending on the thickness of the seal will depend on how well it will resist tearing, the thicker the seal is the higher the resistance will be.

Summary:

  • Excellent tensile strength

  • Excellent elasticity

  • Great tear resistance

  • Extremely waterproof

  • Brilliant vibration dampening
