5 Factors that determine the Natural Rubber Sheet price

Image
  When you are asking for quotations from different manufacturers over a course of time, you will see a change in their pricing. Of course, time plays a role in the change, but do you know what other major factors play a role in determining the natural rubber sheet price? Why Does the Natural Rubber Sheet Fluctuate? Check Out the 5 Key Reasons: 1. Price of Raw Materials The cost of raw natural rubber significantly influences the rubber sheet price. For example, a thick latex sheet costs more. The change in prices may happen due to climate change, yields, demand, and supply. 2. Quality and Grade With higher-quality grades or purity of natural rubber sheets, the price increases. Higher-quality sheets from reputed sources and great specifications increase the natural rubber sheet price . Other factors, such as customization, also increase the price of natural rubberised sheeting. 3. Order Quantity  The quantity of natural rubber sheets you are going to purchase influences the co...

A Guide to Getting Your Electrical Rubber Mat BIS Tested

Image
  Are your clients requesting a third-party certification for your electrical mats due to the increasing number of safety audits? Did you know that a lack of such certificates can have consequences your customers do not want to face?

Why Does the "Grade" of a Neoprene Rubber Sheet Matter?

Image
  Did you know that selecting a neoprene rubber sheet of the right grade will give you improved performance? Wondering why the last expert you were talking to was suggesting which grade to use? What happens when you don't listen to the suggestion? You can often find terms like "General purpose" , "industrial grade" , and "specialized grade" . What do they mean? Neoprene Rubber Sheet Grades: What is Their Significance? Tensile Strength The tensile strength of a neoprene rubber sheet ranges between 4 and 17 MPa. General-purpose neoprene rubber sheeting has low tensile strength. On the other hand, industrial grade has higher tensile strength, and specialized grade neoprene rubber sheet has the highest tensile strength. Elongation at Break A neoprene sheet has elongation at break ranging from 200 to 500%. General-purpose sheets have lower elongation at break than industrial-grade sheets. Whereas, a specialized neoprene rubber sheet has the highest value of...

How is the Dielectric Strength of Electrical Matting Measured?

Image
  When you are about to buy electrical safety mats , you will be handed plenty of technical data sheets. You can see different specifications, including dielectric strength, AC proof voltage, thicknesses, and others. What is dielectric strength, and how is it measured? Measuring Dielectric Strength of Electrical Matting  Dielectric strength of insulating mats for electrical purposes refers to the maximum electric field they can withstand without having an electrical breakdown. There are different testing standards for testing the dielectric strength of electrical insulation matting. They are IEC 60205, ASTM D149, EN 60243-1, and others. Here is how to measure it: 1. Bring a Sample Get a sample of the electrical insulation matting you want to test. Make sure it is clean and ready to be tested.  2. Set it Right In this step, you have to place the sample of the electrical matting between two electrodes. This is the test setup for the dielectric strength test of your insulate...

What is the Function of the Pulley Lagging Rubber Sheet?

Image
Pulley lagging sheet is used to cover the pulleys. It is typically composed of abrasion-resistant rubber having high durability and longevity. Along with ensuring protection, it also plays a major role in making material handling seamless.  Check how!   Pulley Lagging Rubber Sheet: Significance in Material Handling  1. Reduces Belt Slippage A diamond pulley lagging has diamond patterns on the surface. The diamond groove rubber lagging sheet increases the grip of the pulley surface and the conveyor belt. As a result, the diamond rubber lagging prevents the slippage of the conveyor belt.  2. Protects the Pulley Surface The pulley lagging rubber sheet acts as a protective shield. It minimizes the wear and tear due to the transportation of abrasive materials. Thus, the diamond pulley lagging sheet or other pulley lagging sheet minimizes damage to the surface of the pulley.  3. Maintains Equipment Lifespan A pulley lagging sheet reduces the mechanical wear of the co...
