Natural rubber is an outstanding option for sliding abrasion of small, hard and
sharp particles. Also for wet conditions.
Restrictions:
If sliding speed is exceeding 7 m/s (dry applications) the temperature can start
to rise and cause damage.
Oil is a threat for NR.
Temperature -50 to 70 C.
Best option for tough sliding applications when the particle size is lower than 50 mm.
Excellent in wet applications.
Tolerant to chemicals and oil.
Restrictions:
The natural choice when the mission is too hard for rubber or polyurethane alone.
Hardness, resistance to temperature and corrosion.
Low weight.
