What Is a Sand/Shot Blasting Rubber Sheet?
A Sand/Shot Blasting Rubber Sheet is a type of heavy-duty industrial rubber designed specifically to withstand severe abrasion and high-impact conditions. It is made from a formulated blend of natural rubber or synthetic rubber, combined with reinforcements such as carbon black, silica, nylon fabric, or even metal fibers. These additives enhance the mechanical properties of the sheet, making it highly durable. The production process includes molding and vulcanization to ensure the sheet meets specific shapes, thicknesses, and grades required by industrial applications.
How Does It Differ from General Rubber Sheets?
Sand/shot blasting rubber sheets differ from general rubber sheets in their composition and performance. While typical rubber sheets are used for light applications like gaskets or flooring, blasting rubber sheets are:
-Engineered with abrasion-resistant rubber compounds
-Resistant to tearing, chemicals, and prolonged mechanical stress
-Ideal for industries such as mining, shot blasting, construction, and agriculture where -materials are moved continuously under harsh conditions
Common Applications of Sand/Shot Blasting Rubber Sheets
These rubber sheets are commonly used as protective components in processes involving blasting media, such as steel shot or grit:
-Shot blast cabinets: Lining the inner walls to prevent wear
-Sandblasting rooms: Protecting room surfaces from abrasive contact
-Material transport pipes: Reducing friction and wear inside pipes
-Scraper blades: Used in metalworking to remove rust or coatings
-Conveyor belt skirts: Preventing edge wear and material spillage
-Wear strips: Installed in high-friction zones for equipment protection
Why Choose a Sand/Shot Blasting Rubber Sheet?
Blasting rubber sheets are specially made for applications where high wear resistance is critical. They are suitable for environments where machinery and materials are exposed to continuous abrasion and repeated impact.
Key Properties of Blasting Rubber Sheets
-Abrasion Resistance: Withstands aggressive friction from blasting media
-Tear Strength: Maintains integrity under tension and mechanical force
-Resilience: Absorbs impact and recovers quickly to its original form
-Hardness Range: Available in 35 to 50 Shore A for optimal flexibility and durability
Typical Industries and Uses
Blasting rubber sheets are suitable for various industrial applications, including:
-Manufacturing
-Mining operations
-Construction equipment
-Agricultural machinery
-Transport and logistics systems
-Their ability to absorb vibration, reduce noise, and resist wear makes them ideal for harsh environments.
Benefits of Sand/Shot Blasting Rubber Sheets
-Durability: Long service life in abrasive conditions
-Flexibility: Absorbs shock and vibration efficiently
-Noise Reduction: Helps maintain safer and quieter environments
-Cost Efficiency: Reduces maintenance and equipment replacement costs
Available Types
-Reinforced blasting rubber sheets for high-strength applications
-Black and red rubber sheet options
-Thickness: 0.5 mm to 25 mm
-Width: 1.2 meters
-Roll length: Up to 10 meters
Choosing the Right Rubber Sheet for Your Application
Selecting the right blasting rubber sheet requires more than comparing prices. Consider:
-Type of blasting media (grit, steel shot, sand)
-Abrasion level and frequency
-Environmental conditions (humidity, temperature, chemical exposure)
-Shore A hardness level (35–50 is optimal for blasting applications)
