LINATEX Wear Resistant Rubber

LINATEX is the premium wear resistant rubber for sliding and wet abrasion applications. From field experience, it will outlast polyurethanes, steel alloys and even Nihard providing significant cost benefits to the user.

LINATEX is produced from fresh natural latex utilizing a unique liquid phase compounding process which, unlike other processes, causes minimum mechanical disturbance to the molecular structure of the finished rubber. It is this process that gives LINATEX its extraordinary physical properties and outstanding performance. The LINATEX rubber manufacturing facility meets the requirements of

  • ISO 9001.
  • Excellent resistance to wet abrasion
  • Very high resilience
  • Remarkable cut and tear resistance
  • Low permanent set
  • Resistant to a wide range of chemicals
  • Excellent electrical resistance
  • Sound-absorption and vibration dampening properties

LINATEX Applications
The uses of Linatex are almost unlimited, from a complete range of anti-abrasion linings for material handling industries, to custom fabrications and moulded components.
