Wear-resistant rubber is a general term for rubber with very high wear resistance. By “wear-resistant rubber,” we mean a material blend of natural (NR) and SBR rubber. This material is used in friction products, wear-resistant products, conveyor belts, shock absorbers, and in garbage trucks, road construction equipment, and excavators, as it does not crumble as easily as other types of rubber.
For demanding applicationsExtra durability and wear resistance
The wear rubber is highly resilient and, at the same time, a hard material. In applications where pure natural rubber is too soft, wear rubber may be a better choice.
To distinguish between the two hardness levels of the material, the softer material is 40 Shore red and has an abrasion resistance of 110 mm³ (5 N).
The black, harder material is 60 Shore and has an abrasion resistance of 120 mm³ (10 N).
Rubber is also a good choice for use in environments exposed to acids and outdoor conditions.
