Santoprene rubber sheets manufacturers produce Santoprene rubber sheets, a compound derived from synthetic rubber. It is a flexible, durable, and slip-resistant material that is highly suitable to be used as a shock absorber in automobiles and heavy machinery.
If you did not know anything about this rubber sheet, this blog would give you all the necessary information about Santoprene rubber or thermoplastic sheet. Further, this article will share brief information, advantages, and a range of Santoprene rubber sheets.
Now, let us see what a Santoprene sheet is? The following section will give you a basic overview of the Santoprene sheet.
What are black Santoprene thermoplastic sheets?
Black Santoprene thermoplastic sheets are made from a Santoprene TPV material. It is a part of TPE – the thermoplastic elastomer family and is ideal for the use of gaskets and seals due to their chemical resistance. Santoprene thermoplastic sheets provide superior performance in industrial applications and across various industries and customers’ appliances, like pump seals, vibration-dampers, refrigerators, etc.
These Santoprene sheets are Ozone and UV resistant, which means they will not crack when coming in direct contact with UV rays. In addition, black Santoprene thermoplastic sheets are lightweight, easy to color, and recyclable.
The standard Santoprene TPV Rubber Sheets are also available in unique block patterned surface that enhances the look of the Santoprene applications. The block patterned surface texture is created with the tiny block. Moreover, it is used for aesthetic appearance and to prevent slipping. In addition, the Santoprene rubber sheet has minimal chances of slipping out from the place as it gives a better grip on the application.
I believe you have gained enough knowledge about the Santoprene sheets from this section. But do you know the advantages of using the Santoprene sheet for your application? If not, you must read the next section to know the benefits of using the Santoprene sheet.
Santoprene rubber sheets are made from a versatile material that offers a variety of benefits for a wide range of applications. Santoprene rubber is a durable and flexible material resistant to tearing and abrasion. In this section, you will get the benefits of Santoprene sheets.
Here are some benefits of Santoprene rubber sheet-
EPDM properties
The Santoprene thermoplastic sheets have EPDM properties because it is made from vulcanized EPDM rubber. Due to this, they are weather-resistant and can work fine and comfortably in outdoor situations as they are UV and ozone resistant.
Recyclable
Indeed, Santoprene sheets have synthetic rubber material. But it does not mean that these sheets are hard to recycle. On the contrary, the Santoprene sheets have a polyolefin base that makes them easy to recycle. It means that the Santoprene sheets can recycle and reuse.
Excellent physical properties
Santoprene has the ability to maintain the shape itself in a harsh temperature due to its low compression features. As a result, these sheets can maintain the shape used in various applications.
Support Wide Temperature
Lastly, Santoprene sheets can work perfectly at a wide temperature range as synthetic rubber is useful to make them. These sheets can support temperatures as low as -76’ F and as high as 275’ F. thus, you can use these sheets in automotive, electrical, and industrial field appliances.
Apart from the benefits mentioned above, Santoprene sheets have several benefits, including stock in popular thickness gauges, flexibility to get any shape, straightforward design of complex parts, and more.
Available in various grades and various durometer
Santoprene TPE sheets are available in a general grade, FDA food grade for food contact applications, NSF Certified Grade, Flame retardant grade, and in medical grade as well. Additionally, Santoprene sheets are available in various durometers ranging from 55 A to 87 A, Shore hardness. These Santoprene rubber sheets can be colored as needed and is naturally available in black and natural manilla or tan color.
UV Resistant Santoprene sheets are undoubtedly one of the most important elastomers in modern-day industrial production. It has recently received a lot of attention and interest from scientists and engineers, owing to its versatile and unique features. Santoprene sheets prove to be ideal for any application that requires flexibility, strength, impermeability, and thermal resistance.
