Rubber Sheets & Rolls

Rubber sheets and rolls provide reliable sealing, cushioning, and vibration damping for construction, fabrication, automotive, marine, HVAC, plumbing, glazing, and DIY projects. Stocked in multiple polymers, thicknesses, durometers, widths, and finishes, they handle tough environments while cutting cleanly with common shop tools. Options include smooth or textured faces, PSA adhesive backing, cloth-reinforced plies, and closed-cell sponge or solid rubber profiles.

Choose the right compound for the job. EPDM resists weather, ozone, and UV, making long-lasting gaskets for doors, windows, skylights, and roofs. Neoprene balances outdoor durability with moderate oil resistance for general service. Nitrile (NBR) excels around oils, fuels, and grease. Silicone handles extreme temperatures and is available in food- and medical-grade formulations. SBR and natural rubber offer strong grip and abrasion resistance for pads and skirting. FKM (Viton) stands up to aggressive chemicals.

Common uses include gasket making, flange sealing, anti-slip matting, impact protection, sound dampening, and equipment isolation. In glass and acrylic work, rubber strips serve as setting blocks, edge guards, and shims that distribute load and prevent cracking or slipping.

Key selection factors:
- Thickness and durometer (Shore A) to balance flexibility, compression, and support.
- Temperature and chemical exposure to match compound performance.
- Width, roll length, and color for coverage and visibility.
- Surface texture and adhesive needs for rapid installation.

Installation is straightforward: measure carefully, mark, and cut with a sharp utility knife and straightedge or gasket punches. Clean mating surfaces, dry-fit, then bond with contact cement or use adhesive-backed sheets. Avoid overstretching; allow material to relax before final placement. Store flat in a cool, dry, shaded area.

Many suppliers offer custom cutting and perforation. Look for standards such as ASTM D2000, UL 94, and FDA/NSF where required. Order by the foot, by sheet, or full roll to match your project and reduce waste. Review specs before buying.
