Rubber

POLYTECH PLASTICS (Australasia) carry and produce many shapes from all forms of rubber products under the OMEGA-LATEX® Brand name to meet challenging situations in many Industries.

BUTYL RUBBER

• Has very good weathering resistance
• Low permeability to air, with good physical properties
• Poor resistance to petroleum based fluids

 EPDM RUBBER

• Is widely used in areas where excellent ozone and chemical resistance qualities are required in combination with resistance to ageing. Its major limitation is a poor resistance to liquid petroleum products

HYGIENIC WHITE RUBBER

• Specially formulated from natural rubbers for use in the Food Industry.
• Can be used in most applications where a hygienic and non marking rubber is required.
• Has a Shore hardness of 45 -55 witha maximum working temperature of 70°C

INSERTION RUBBER

• Insertion rubber is reinforced with cotton fabric which gives the extra strength required for many industrial applications
• Insertion rubber is used for gaskets, packing, matting and dust curtains, conveyor belts and many other applications.
• Insertion Rubber can be supplied in NATURAL INSERTION RUBBER and oil resistant NEOPRENE INSERTION RUBBER

NATURAL RUBBER

• Has a wide range of industrial uses such as packing, gaskets, dust curtains, shock and sound absorption.
• Has excellent physical properties including abrasion and cut resistance, but has poor resistance to oils and similar solvents.

NEOPRENE RUBBER

• The first commercial synthetic rubber developed.
• Mechanical, chemical and structural properties similar to natural rubber
• Excellent UV and water resistance with very good abrasion resistance
• Good resistance to aromatics and non aromatic fuels and alkalis, fair acid resistance. Fair to poor solvent resistance.
• Incompatible with synthetic lubricants
• Very good compression set and flex cracking characteristics
• Temperature range -53°C to +150°C

LINING RUBBER

• Specially formulated for all applications where rubber can provide protection from high abrasive wear.
• Typical applications are chute and bin linings, pipe linings, flotation cell linings and impellors etc.

NITRILE RUBBER

• Nitrile compound rubber shows excellent resistance to petroleum based fluids and moderate resistance to aromatics.
• It has excellent physical properties.

VITON RUBBER

• Viton ® is a synthetic rubber Elastomer well known for its excellent heat resistance -45°C to + 325°C. It offers excellent resistance to aggressive fuels and chemicals, including aromatic, halogenated and aliphatic solvents and aromatic fuels
• Good oxidation resistance, very good compression set & water resistance
• Excellent performance with acids, but poor with alkalis
• Maximum elongation – approximately 250%
