What Is A Commercial Rubber Sheet? Is It Little Different From Nitrile Rubber?

Posted by David Kenton on March 26th, 2019

The Rubber sheets used for the affordability and the usefulness in various multiple purposes and as a result of the economic costs, the commercial grade rubber sheet is hugely preferred in various industries.

These Rubber sheets are usually mixed with a blend of synthetic and natural rubber. Let us see the features of these Rubber sheets in the following points:

• They are generally cured using the compression molding and the rotary curing machines.

• These Rubber sheets have overall smooth rubber finish without any kind of the insertion
material used.

• These commercial grade rubber sheets are usually black in colour and are preferred by a large number of industries

• These rubber sheets have the lowest pricing and are affordable.

• The combination of these rubber sheets is generally unique thereby used for general sealing applications.

• The commercial rubber sheet is usually packed in rolls with an inner layer of Polypropylene- Polypropylene with an external layer of high density of polyethylene.

• The company guarantees free warranty in case of a manufacturing detection for 3 months for the commercial rubber sheets from the invoice date.

• The suppliers are available all throughout the country as the products are exported to all over the world.

The standard sizes are generally 1.2M wide and 10M long and the thickness of these rubber sheets are generally 10mm to 50mm. The general standard tolerance is more or less 10% on thickness and more than 2% on width followed by a length of 5%.

• Manufacturer’s test certificate is provided along with the supply of these commercial graded
rubber sheets.

What Are Some Of The Best Special Services That The Commercial Rubber Sheet Provides?

• Custom formulations
• Fabric and smooth surface finish
• Sheet cutting
• Hole punching
• Stenciling
• Customized Dimensions
• Customized tolerance

The best available specifications are required to maintain the low costing thereby maintaining the flexibility and durability of the commercial rubber sheets.


The commercial rubber sheet manufacturer makes sure that the rubber sheet is designed for use as the following purpose like:

• Sealing, insulating, isolating and protecting, steel and other surfaces.

• Used near flange gaskets on pipes and tanks

• Used near isolation barriers

• Used for general and ultimate purpose for sealing applications

• Used near Dust seals and covers and many more.

These sheets generally avoid leakages from oil, solvent and petroleum based fluids and sealing against gases.

Some Properties Of The Commercial Rubber Sheet Are:

• Very good resistance to petroleum based goods.
• High temperature resistance.
• Very low level permeability to gases.

Commercial rubber sheet supplies a wide range of different thickness of the commercial rubber sheeting and it can also be used to convert the rubber gaskets, thereby cutting to strips of rubber.

Now What Is A Nitrile Rubber Sheet?

Nitrile rubber is a mixture of butadiene and acrylonitrile. These rubbers are usually resistant to oil, caustics and aliphatic hydrocarbons as Nitrile is not suitable for solvents and chlorinated hydrocarbons. The maximum temperature of the nitrile rubber sheet is more or less 100 degree Celsius. The features of the Nitrile Rubber include its excellent and outstanding heat resistance and cold resistance.

The Manufacturers Make Sure That The Nitrile Rubber Sheet Is Used For:

• Petroleum oil
• Hydrocarbons having a strong sense of aroma
• Excellent for mineral oils
• Rubber sheets

Are The Nitrile Rubber Sheet And The Commercial Rubber Sheet Same?

Nitrile rubber sheet and commercial rubber sheet is not exactly same. Though they exhibit some of the same physical properties, nitrile rubber is used for different purposes than a commercial rubber.

The nitrile rubber sheet has excellent tensile strength so they are resistant to temperature changes and chemicals. They are used in the food industry and the automobile industry as the properties of the nitrile rubber sheet makes it perfect for use in the industries.

However the commercial rubber sheets are also preferred by many industries but the nitrile rubber sheet exhibits more of the physical properties than that of the commercial rubber sheets.

This is how these rubber sheets are determined as the manufacturers are trying with new innovations into the market regarding all kinds of rubber sheet products as they are available in all colours, shapes and designs depending on the specific gravity and hardness.
