Vulcanized rubber sheet is a material widely used in industrial fields,which has attracted widespread attention with its unique properties and applications.So,what is vulcanized rubber sheet?What are its characteristics and applications?
1.The Process of Making Vulcanized Rubber Sheet
Vulcanized rubber is made by adding sulphur and accelerators,etc.to raw rubber,and then undergoing a chemical reaction at high temperature and high pressure to make the rubber molecular chains cross-link,thus improving its performance.In this process,the soft and easily deformed raw rubber becomes tough,heat-resistant,and oil-resistant vulcanized rubber.
2.Characteristics of Vulcanized Rubber Sheet
Firstly,it has excellent wear resistance,which enables it to maintain good performance even under heavy load and high-frequency friction;
Secondly,its elasticity is very good,allowing it to quickly return to its original state after being squeezed or stretched by external force;
Thirdly,vulcanized rubber sheet also has good sealing properties,effectively preventing the leakage of liquids and gases;
Finally,due to the sulphurization treatment,its heat resistance and oil resistance have also been greatly improved,enabling it to work stably in various harsh environments.
3.Application Areas of Vulcanized Rubber Sheet
In industry,vulcanized rubber sheet is often used as anti-shock pads for machinery and equipment,effectively absorbing and buffering the vibrations of equipment to protect its stability and service life.At the same time,its wear resistance and elasticity also make it the preferred material for many conveyor belts and transmission belts.Furthermore,due to the good sealing properties of vulcanized rubber sheet,it is often used to make various sealing rings and gaskets.
