Metro Rubber Corporation products

Neoprene rubber sheets offer good oil, chemical, thermal & weathering resistance. Neoprene is a popular and commercially sold name for "Polychloroprene rubber". It is a synthetic resilient material with high mechanical and chemical endurance, making it a popular choice for commercial use. Neoprene rubber sheets offer a well-balanced combination of physical, mechanical, and chemical properties. One of the most notable features of Neoprene is its flame-retardant properties, along with its excellent resistance to chemicals, oil, heat, abrasion, weather, and moisture. These properties make it a versatile rubber suitable for gaskets, sealing, flooring, and insulation.

Natural rubber sheets are prepared by sulfur-heat-based curing of dried latex (which is a thick milky-white emulation extracted from the bark of rubber plants) compounded with added minerals, additives, and accelerators. Unlike synthetic rubbers, which are petroleum-based rubbers, it is derived from plants and however slowly but biodegradable. Pure gum-grade sheets made from natural rubber bear high tensile strength and elongation with adequate flexibility, offering extreme resistivity against abrasion and mechanical distortion.

EPDM rubber sheets offers durability in adverse weather conditions. Ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber, abbreviated as EPDM rubber, is known for its excellent resistance to sunlight, UV, ozone, humidity, water, and weather. We manufacture EPDM Rubber sheets, which can be used  as insulating  pads, seals, strips, gaskets, washers, waterproofing membranes. The resilience, flexibility and elasticity combined with excellent weatherability make EPDM rubber sheets the most  efficient material for outdoor sealing, lining, packing applications.

Silicone is high temperature-resistant, chemically stable rubber. Silicone rubber sheets are flexible and elastic with excellent chemical stability, a wide operating temperature range, high electric insulation, lower thermal conductivity, and good oil resistance. All these attributes render it a high-performance elastomer with diverse applications in the fields of aerospace, automotive, construction, adhesives, paints, cookware, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and leisure products. Metro Rubber Corporation, manufactures Silicone Rubber Sheets in many different colors, including transparent and translucent versions both in industrial and food grades.

Nitrile rubber sheets, also known as NBR sheets (acrylonitrile butadiene rubber), offer high resistance to petroleum-based oils and fuels, along with a wide range of chemicals, alkalis, mild acids, caustics, animal fats, and organic solvents. Nitrile is the most preferred resilient material for oil and fuel applications.

SBR Sheets are the most economical general-purpose rubber sheets. Synthetic Butadiene rubber or SBR is the closest alternative to natural rubber with enhanced heat aging, abrasion resistance, and chemical and temperature-withstanding characteristics. Metro Rubber Corporation is a leading manufacturer of SBR Rubber Sheets in various thicknesses and sizes, these sheets provide convenient and quick options to prepare gaskets, washers, and O-rings; used to seal metallic joints. The combination of cheap pricing, easy availability, and convenient processability makes SBR the most widely used synthetic rubber. It blends well with natural rubber, resulting in a wide range of products,  including the majority of automobile tires.

Viton Rubber Sheets (Fluoro-Elastomer Rubber Sheets) are manufactured using Synthetic Polymer hexafluoropropylene vinylidene fluoride commercially known as Viton. Viton has originally introduced around 60 years ago for Aeronautical Industry as a high-performance elastomer that can bear extremely hot & adverse atmospheres. Thereafter considering Viton’s capabilities it is diploid in various Industrial applications.

Diaphragm Rubber Sheets or Fabric Reinforced Rubber Sheets have one or more ply/insertion/reinforcement of Nylon Fabric between the outer layers of the Neoprene/Nitrile Rubber Compound. This provides Strength to Rubber Pertaining to high Hydraulic or Pneumatic Pressure. Nylon Fabric Reinforced Nitrile Rubber Sheets are widely used as Diaphragms for Oil, LPG, Solvents & Gases resistant application in Automobile & other Industries.

Rubber is known to be a good insulator of heat and electric current. Rubber mats are therefore being used as earth mats or floor mats in areas of electrical applications, such as around electrical panels in power houses, electrical distribution rooms, power cables, or any other kind of area where work related to electricity is being performed, for the prevention and protection of workers involved in such operations. Composition: Manufactured from a blend of high-quality natural rubber and synthetic rubber (NR/NBR). Application: power generation plants, substations, workshops, laboratory rooms, lift rooms, high- and low-voltage electric panels, powerhouses, and power stations.

Rubberized cork sheets are  manufactured by a very special procedure that includes the bonding of  fine granules of cork with nitrile or other synthetic rubber under a  particular temperature and pressure in a vulcanization chamber. This  forms a solid block of cork rubber sheets of about 100 mm, from which  the desired shape and size sheet is sliced off.
