Natural rubber sheet, as an important industrial material, is widely used in many fields. From substations to laboratories, from distribution rooms to outdoor live-line operations, natural rubber sheets play an indispensable role. However, many people are not very clear about its specific characteristics, especially its thickness. So, how thick is natural rubber sheet generally?
The thickness of natural rubber sheet is usually between 1-50mm, with a width of 0.5-2m and a length of 10-20m. Besides the thickness of natural rubber sheet, we also need to pay attention to its other physical properties, such as hardness, tensile strength, elongation, etc. These performance indicators are directly related to the effect and safety of the rubber sheet in actual use. For example, hardness is the ability of the rubber sheet to resist the indentation of external forces, usually expressed by Shore hardness. While tensile strength and elongation reflect the toughness and extensibility of the rubber sheet, which are crucial for withstanding different working conditions of pressure and deformation.

In practical applications, different types of natural rubber sheets may have different thickness ranges. This mainly depends on the specific usage scenarios and requirements. For instance, rubber sheets used in high-pressure environments may need a greater thickness to ensure safety; while in some light-duty applications, thinner rubber sheets can be chosen to reduce costs and weight. Therefore, when choosing natural rubber sheets, the actual usage conditions and requirements must be fully considered.
Performance characteristics of natural rubber sheet:
1. Good elasticity, with an elastic modulus of 3-6MPa;
2. Natural rubber sheet is a crystalline rubber that forms crystals when stretched under external force. It has a large self-healing strength; with a large average molecular weight and high mechanical strength.
3. Due to its wide molecular weight distribution, natural rubber sheet has good processing performance. It has good dispersion and solubility with compounding agents, and is easy to use with fillers and most other rubbers, and is easy to process and bond, etc.
4. It has good air permeability, cold resistance, electrical insulation and heat insulation performance.
5. Not resistant to aging is the fatal weakness of natural rubber.
