In industrial production,mechanical manufacturing,and many daily scenarios,anti slip rubber sheets play a significant role.How does the anti slip rubber sheet perform in terms of oil resistance?
From the perspective of material composition,anti slip rubber sheets come in different types,which also determines their differences in oil resistance.
For instance,Class A oil-resistant rubber sheets have average oil resistance and wear resistance,but they have good water resistance,shock resistance,and anti slip performance.They are suitable for use as floor and countertop coverings in some mechanical processing and manufacturing industries.They can resist oil to a certain extent,preventing products from coming into direct contact with oil and getting damaged,while also protecting the floor or countertop.
Class B oil-resistant rubber sheets,made by vulcanizing 30%to 60%nitrile rubber with styrene-butadiene rubber and fillers,have moderate prices and good physical and mechanical properties.They have medium oil resistance and possess advantages such as sealing,wear resistance,flex resistance,and low compression set.They can be used as sealing parts in oil media and are suitable for workbenches,floors,and other areas that are in long-term contact with oils and greases where high wear resistance is required.
To know how well the anti slip rubber sheet performs in terms of oil resistance,it is necessary to pay attention to its specific testing standards.
First,the sample is immersed in No.1 standard oil at 100°C for 24 hours,then taken out,and the surface oil is absorbed with filter paper.The sample’s mass is weighed and the mass change rate is calculated to test whether its oil resistance meets the requirements.High-quality anti slip rubber sheets can still maintain good performance under such strict tests and will not experience excessive swelling or dissolution that would affect their use.

In practical application scenarios,the advantages of anti slip rubber sheets in terms of oil resistance are more evident.
For example,in the assembly lines of some automotive parts manufacturing factories,the ground is often contaminated with various engine oils and lubricating oils.If ordinary boards are used,they are prone to absorbing oil,making the ground slippery and increasing the risk of workers slipping and getting injured.Moreover,cleaning is very difficult.However,when anti slip rubber sheets are laid on the ground,their good oil resistance can effectively prevent oil from penetrating.Even when there is oil on the surface,the anti slip texture allows workers to walk steadily,ensuring operational safety.It is also convenient for subsequent cleaning and maintenance.With simple wiping,most of the oil can be removed,keeping the ground clean.
Looking at some food processing enterprises,although the oil contamination is not as severe as in mechanical processing industries,there are still various oils such as cooking oil spilled on the ground from time to time.Anti slip rubber sheets not only prevent slipping and resist oil but also have good resistance to chemical corrosion,so they will not be eroded by food additives and other chemical substances,ensuring the hygiene and safety of the food processing environment and meeting the high standards of the food industry.
However,anti slip rubber sheets are not perfect in terms of oil resistance.
They have a certain tendency to age.When exposed to oil for a long time,the oil may accelerate the aging process of the rubber over time,gradually reducing its original excellent performance,such as decreased elasticity and increased hardness,which in turn affects the anti slip effect and overall service life.Therefore,during use,regular inspection and appropriate maintenance are also necessary,and rubber sheets showing obvious signs of aging should be replaced in a timely manner.
