What is a Synthetic Rubber Product?
Synthetic Rubber Sheets Seals Hoses UAE | Chemical-Resistant Elastomer Dubai Supplier – Synthetic rubber products deliver unmatched chemical resistance, temperature flexibility (-60°C to +200°C), and custom durometer hardness for UAE’s automotive seals, construction gaskets, and industrial hoses.
20-95 Shore A range with 500-4000 PSI tensile strength replaces natural rubber across Jebel Ali factories while surviving permanent immersion in oils, fuels, acids, and 50-year outdoor exposure.
Features of Synthetic Rubber Product
Features of Synthetic Rubber Products:
- Oil-fuel resistant: NBR/Viton survives permanent immersion.
- Weatherproof: EPDM rated 50 years UV/ozone exposure.
- Flame-retardant: Special grades for safety-critical apps.
- Custom compounds: 20 Shore soft to 95 Shore rigid.
- Food-grade compliant: FDA/USDA silicone, EPDM available.
- High-abrasion SBR: Conveyor belting survives 10M tons.
- 24hr Dubai extrusion: Custom profiles from inventory.
Applications
Jebel Ali automotive assemblers extrude 70 Shore NBR into oil seals, O-rings, and crankshaft gaskets surviving 150°C engine oil. Sharjah construction firms deploy 60 Shore EPDM roof membranes and expansion joints that resist 50-year desert UV exposure. Dubai food processors slice 50 Shore white silicone sheets for FDA-approved dough divider curtains.
Ras Al Khaimah oilfield service mold 90 Shore Viton wellhead packers surviving 200°C H2S. Abu Dhabi marine repair vulcanized 40 Shore NR fender panels to absorb 100-ton berthing loads.
How to Use?
Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to use synthetic rubber products:
- Wear safety gloves to protect your hands when handling synthetic rubber products.
- Select compound matching service conditions (NBR oil, EPDM weather).
- Surface prep mandatory – IPA wipe before adhesive bonding.
- Vulcanize 160°C × 20min for permanent installations.
- Store flat, away from ozone generators and copper/brass.
- Custom extrusion minimum order 50m for profiles.
- Pressure test seals to 1.5x operating pressure.
Safety Guidelines
Follow these simple safety guidelines while using synthetic rubber products:
- Wear safety gloves to protect your hands from sharp die-cut edges.
- Use safety glasses to shield eyes from vulcanization flash.
- Work in well-ventilated areas during adhesive/hot molding.
- Avoid flame contact unless FR-rated compounds specified.
- Store away from petroleum oils unless an oil-resistant grade.
- Inspect regularly for cracking, hardening, or swelling.
- Dispose of per industrial elastomer waste regulations.
