Shot blasting rubber sheets are specialized rubber materials designed to withstand the impact and abrasion generated during shot blasting processes. Shot blasting is a surface preparation technique used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and manufacturing to clean, strengthen, or texture surfaces.
Rubber sheets used in shot blasting applications typically have several key characteristics:
Abrasion Resistance: These rubber sheets are formulated to resist abrasion caused by the high-speed impact of abrasive materials used in shot blasting.
Impact Resistance: They must be able to absorb and dampen the impact force generated by the shot blasting process to protect underlying surfaces and equipment.
Chemical Resistance: Shot blasting rubber sheets often have resistance to oils, solvents, and other chemicals present in the blasting environment.
Flexibility: They need to be flexible enough to conform to irregular surfaces and withstand bending or stretching without tearing.
Thickness: The thickness of the rubber sheets can vary depending on the intensity of the shot blasting process and the required level of protection.
Non-marking Properties: In some applications, it's important for the rubber sheets not to leave marks or residues on the blasted surface.
