Is Nitrile Rubber Sheet Chemical Resistant?

Image
Nitrile Rubber Sheeting, made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber is ranked on top of the list of materials that have high chemical resistance in the market. Unlike other rubber sheet specifications, the Nitrile sheet specification ensures its durability and longevity in industries exposed to chemicals and oils. Nitrile Rubber Sheet: The Hero Chemical Resistant Industrial Product Nitrile Rubber Sheet has excellent resistance against oil and fuel. It shows great performance especially when it comes to petroleum-based fuels such as petrol, diesel, and LPG. This makes it ideal for industries having constant exposure to oils and chemicals including chemical processing plants to oil refineries.  Here is a list of chemicals against which a Nitrile rubber sheet has the best tolerance:  Acetophenone Acetyl Acetone Acetyl Bromide Acetyl Chloride Acetylene Tetrabromide Ammonium Carbonate Ammonium Persulfate Solution Aniline Aniline Dyes Any Limitations? We cannot expect any product to ...

How does abrasion affect general purpose conveyor belts?

Image
  We all know that general purpose conveyor belts help in material handling processes in industries. What "materials" are we talking about here? Materials may include sand, gravel, stone chips, and other abrasive materials. These materials have a significant effect on rubber conveyor belts. Let us see how! Consequences of Abrasion on General Purpose Conveyor Belts 1. Surface wear Do you notice your general purpose rubber conveyor belting losing its shine? Well, that is because of abrasion. Carrying abrasive materials can make the surface layer wear out. 2. Fading Continuous transportation of abrasive materials is responsible for discoloring general purpose conveyor belts. 3. Tears and cuts Sharp objects can create punctures on the heavy duty rubber conveyor belt. As a result, the surface becomes uneven.  4. Reduced lifespan Continuous exposure to abrasive materials will create tears, cuts, wear out, and damage the general purpose rubber conveyor belting. Hence, they start to...

Would you step on 17 kV without protection? Switchboard matting rubber has your back!

Image
  No, you absolutely should not step on 17 kV without protection. As you know, the human body has negligible resistance against electric current. On the other hand, it cannot endure such excessive currents. As a result, there are a lot of risks associated with it.  Care to know about the risks?  Unconsciousness Muscle spam and seizures  Cardiac arrest Respiratory arrest  Immediate death  How does an electrical switchboard matting help? 1)  An electrical switchboard matting is a protective gear. It ensures your electrical safety while you are working with high-voltage systems.  2) There are different classes of switchboard mats for different working voltages. You should make sure to match the rating of your mat to your application voltage.  3) If your working voltage is more than the rating, your electrical switchboard matting will fail to provide insulation. Thus, if you are working with 17 kV, you can use a Class 2 ASTM D-178 switchboard m...
