Rubber Sheet & Sheeting Cut to Size

More information about Rubber Sheet

First Mats offers a wide range of high-quality Rubber Sheet Rolls for various uses, including rolls of Natural SBR, EPDM, and Nitrile Rubber grades. The sheet Rubber material is great for a variety of applications, such as gaskets and seals, and with a choice of nine standard thicknesses from 1.5mm to 25mm, you're sure to find the product for your needs.

Our rubber sheeting is available in rolls of up to 10 metres long, but if you need a smaller size, then any of our sheet rubber can be ordered in custom sizes. Simply enter the length you need in centimetres, and we will cut the rubber sheet for you.

Before ordering, please check the details before ordering to ensure the grade of rubber sheet is suitable for your application. You can view the full specifications of each of our rubber sheets on their product pages, with information about the hardness, tensile strength and material composition.

Which Industries use Rubber Sheet material?

Rubber sheet rolls are widely used across various industries due to their versatility:

Automotive: For manufacturing components like gaskets, seals, and hoses.
Construction: As waterproofing, roofing membranes, flooring, and insulation.
Packaging: In creating protective materials like bags, sheets, and films.
Marine: For seals, gaskets, and protective coverings in boats and ships.
Healthcare: In producing medical equipment, gloves, tubing, and seals.
Electronics: For insulation, sealing, and protection of electronic components.
Aerospace: In seals, gaskets, and vibration dampening components.

These industries rely on rubber sheets for their durability, flexibility, and resistance to various conditions.

Natural / SBR Rubber Sheet

The most popular types of rubber sheet we stock are made from natural rubber, which is a popular material for a wide range of applications, including gaskets. A gasket is a thin sheet of material that is designed to prevent water leaks between two material faces. One example is a car engine, which is made from several sections or “blocks” that each has a gasket between them. If a gasket fails, water can leak or mix with oil leading to catastrophic mechanical failures, so choosing the right materials is crucial.

We stock natural rubber sheet roll sizes in 1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm and 6mm, which are ideal for gaskets, seals, and domestic applications. Thicker rubber sheets of 12mm, 20mm and even 25mm thicknesses are also available. In either case, custom lengths can be ordered, ensuring you receive the size you need.

Common applications for Sheet Rubber include;

Gaskets
Door seals
Chute linings
Shock absorption

Neoprene Rubber Sheeting

Another popular grade of rubber sheet is Neoprene, a synthetic rubber material made from a polymer called chloroprene. It possesses excellent physical properties, making it suitable for various industrial and commercial applications. Neoprene is known for its durability, flexibility, and resistance to various conditions, such as temperature fluctuations, chemicals, oils, and UV light.

Common applications of Neoprene rubber sheet rolls include:

Gaskets and seals
Weather stripping
Hose and tubing
Vibration dampening pads
Protective coverings and cases
Automotive and marine applications

Nitrile Rubber Sheeting

Nitrile, although very similar in appearance to natural rubber, is a more complex material compound. Unlike natural rubber, Nitrile rubber is resistant to oils, grease and many chemicals. Because of these properties, it is the material of choice for O ring and seal manufacturers. Nitrile rubber sheeting is also widely used in producing cable jackets and hosing.

Our Nitrile rubber sheet rolls are available in 10 metre rolls, or in custom sizes.

At First Mats, we have several rubber floor mats that use nitrile materials, especially those recommended for industrial environments or food production facilities.

The common applications for Nitrile rubber sheeting include;

Seals (O Rings, Gaskets)
Food production
Oil hoses
Electrical Transformers
Cable Jackets

We stock Nitrile Rubber Sheet Rolls in thicknesses of 1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm and 6mm, which are common thicknesses for gasket production. For other thicknesses, please contact us for a quotation.
