Shot blasting is an important process used to prepare surfaces for rubber coating, ensuring they are clean, textured, and ready for the coating to bond effectively. Proper surface preparation is key to achieving durable and long-lasting results in industrial settings, where equipment is exposed to heavy damage.
Shotblast rubber sheeting plays a crucial role in this process, offering excellent durability, resistance to damage, and adaptability for various applications. Reliant Rubber’s Black and Red Shotblast Rubber Sheeting are two high-performance options that provide superior protection in shot blasting and rubber coating applications.
Do you know why shot blasting is crucial for rubber coating, and what makes high-quality shotblast rubber sheeting the ideal material for this purpose? In this blog, we’ll explore the role of shot blasting in rubber coating, the benefits of using Reliant Rubber’s Shotblast Rubber Sheeting, and how it contributes to the longevity of industrial equipment.
What is the Role of Shot Blasting in Rubber Coating?
Shot blasting plays an essential role in surface preparation for rubber coating, ensuring surfaces are clean, textured, and primed for strong adhesion. Shotblast rubber sheeting provides a protective barrier for equipment and surfaces exposed to blasting, reducing wear and extending their lifespan.
Let’s look at its uses across different industries to understand how shot blasting and Reliant Rubber’s Shotblast Rubber enhance the rubber coating process:
Shot Blast Cabinet Lining
The inside of shot blast cabinets is lined with Reliant Rubber’s black shotblast rubber sheeting to absorb the impact of blasting particles. This protects the cabinet’s structure, extending its service life while maintaining a high-quality finish on processed materials.
Chute Lining in Mining & Construction
In mining operations, reliant red shotblast rubber sheeting is used to line chutes that transport materials. Its high elasticity and resistance to abrasion protect chute surfaces from constant wear, improving operational efficiency.
Heavy-Duty Scraper Blades
Shotblast rubber sheeting is used in industrial scraper blades to effectively remove rust, paint, and coatings without sustaining damage. Reliant Red Shotblast Rubber offers superior tear resistance, making it ideal for metalworking applications.
Conveyor Skirts
Shotblast rubber skirts protect conveyor belts and surrounding structures from material impact in manufacturing and mining. Reliant Rubber’s Shotblast Rubber Sheeting provides excellent flexibility and shock absorption, preventing excessive wear.
Wear Strips & Impact Protection
Wear strips made from Reliant Black Shotblast Rubber add a protective layer to surfaces that endure high friction and material movement, reducing maintenance needs and prolonging equipment life.
What Are the Different Types of Shotblast Rubber?
Reliant Rubber offers two types of shotblast rubber: Black Shotblast Rubber Sheeting and Red Shotblast Rubber Sheeting. Both types provide excellent resistance to wear and impact, making them ideal for industrial applications.
Black Shotblast Rubber Sheeting is made from 50° Shore natural rubber, providing high durability and flexibility. It resists piercing and abrasion, making it suitable for chute linings, table mats, and shot blast cabinet linings.
Reliant Red Shotblast Rubber Sheeting is a high-rubber-content, non-toxic natural rubber with enhanced elasticity. It offers superior resistance to water, ozone, and acids, making it ideal for hoses, belting, and slurry handling applications. Shotblast rubber is built for high-impact environments, ensuring long-lasting protection for industrial equipment.
