UIP International offers an extensive range of industrial and commercial grade sheet rubber products. All sheet rubber materials are manufactured under strict guidelines for exceptional quality. Large inventories of elastomers are available from stock and ready to ship same-day. Rubber stripping, cut pieces and PSA backing options are also available.
UIP offers the following industrial sheet rubber products:
UIP can also fabricate application-specific, engineered rubber compounds including specification grade ASTM, AMS, Military. Custom mixing and dimensions are available including various roll thicknesses and lengths. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, we can formulate it for you.
MTRs and COCs are available at no additional fee.
UIP is proud to offer MIL Spec materials. For more information please click here.
Rubbers or elastomers are mixed with various chemicals in order to provide the reinforcement and curing ingredients required to produce the physical properties necessary for the service conditions.
A wide choice of basic polymers (rubbers) is available. Many of these rubbers can be blended or compounded to obtain the desired properties based on the application.
