Insertion Rubber
Posted on 31/12/2018 Category:
A sheet rubber material with fabric “inserted” into the rubber to provide tear resistance. Used principally as a gasket or diaphragm material, “Insertion” can have various combinations of the number and type of layers of fabric and the type of rubber binding them together, depending on the application. Conveyor Belting is a specific example of this technique, where the longitudinal stiffness of the belt is provided by the fabric layers, whilst remaining flexible enough to pass around the drive rollers of the belt system.
