All rubber products are not made equal. From pure gum rubber to silicone rubber products, there are different rubber materials that are better fitted for specific manufacturing applications. If you are searching for the right rubber product for your needs, consider which has the best components for your application and budget. Some popular rubber products used in manufacturing include:

• Pure gum rubber. For a rubber product that is resistant to abrasion, pure gum rubber tubing or sheets is often preferred. This material handles high heats well and can be heated and cooled while still keeping its form.
• Skirtboard rubber. If you are moving bulk material such as gravel, sand or other small granules, skirtboard rubber is an inexpensive material that is perfect for your conveyor belts. This durable material can help prevent spillovers, helping you retain your bulk product.
• SBR rubber. Styrene-Butadiene Synthetic Rubber or SBR is used for applications in many industries, but particularly in the HVAC and construction industries. This semi-abrasive material can withstand up to 210 degrees of heat, making it an excellent product for durable applications.
• Silicone rubber. When you need a rubber product that will not stick to your items while withstanding high heat, silicone rubber is an excellent choice. This material can be cut into many sizes and is sold in rolled bulk for manufacturers.

The best way to get the right rubber product for your budget and manufacturing application is to consult a rubber supply expert. Contact a local rubber supplier that carries a wide variety of rubber products, cut specifically for your size needs to get the best advice on purchasing rubber materials for your manufacturing business.
