Gummiplattor

Gummiplattor, or rubber sheets, are versatile materials produced from natural or synthetic rubber. Their primary characteristic is their flexibility and resilience, making them suitable for a wide range of applications where cushioning, sealing, or vibration dampening is required. The manufacturing process typically involves compounding rubber with various additives to achieve specific properties, such as resistance to abrasion, chemicals, or extreme temperatures, before it is formed into sheets through processes like calendering or extrusion.

These sheets are found in numerous industries. In construction, they are used as waterproofing membranes, expansion joint fillers, and anti-vibration pads for machinery. The automotive sector employs gummiplattor for sealing components, as flooring mats, and as sound insulation. In industrial settings, they serve as protective linings for tanks and pipes, as conveyor belt material, and as gaskets and seals in various equipment. Their non-slip properties also make them ideal for flooring in areas prone to moisture.

The specific type of rubber used, such as neoprene, nitrile, or EPDM, dictates the sheet's performance characteristics and its suitability for different environments. For example, nitrile rubber offers good resistance to oils and fuels, while EPDM is known for its excellent weather and ozone resistance. The thickness and surface texture of gummiplattor can also be customized to meet specific functional requirements.
