Often, customers just don't need a full 36" wide piece of rubber. Especially for many abrasion resistant applications (like the bottom of hangar doors), the standard widths available for most rubber sheets are not suitable for the fairly limited area, which must be covered with a rubber product. For heavy wear and tear applications, Skirtboard rubber is an ideal choice. By combining the abrasion resistance of SBR with the flexibility of gum rubber, a balance is achieved which makes Skirtboard rubber suitable for many applications where both pliability and strength are important. And since this type of rubber is sold in a broader variety of widths (down to 4"), it can be used for applications where cutting a larger roll to size would be costly and time consuming. These applications include street sweepers (which use rubber flaps) and snowplows (which can be equipped with rubber blades for plowing areas such as airport runways). For skirting applications, or just about any application, which requires limited widths of an elastomer, Skirtboard is a good choice to fulfill your requirements. Skirtboard It's a Tough & Durable Elastomer! Especially for many abrasion resistant and where durability and long life is needed, and for heavy wear and tear applications, Skirtboard rubber is an ideal choice. Especially in applications where standard widths of rubber aren’t suitable and smaller widths of abrasion resistant rubber are necessary, the importance of Skirtboard rubber comes into play. It is an ideal choice for applications that experience heavy wear and tear because of its material characteristics. Taking the abrasion resistant qualities of SBR and combining them with the flexibility found in Gum Rubber, Skirtboard Rubber packs a mean punch in applications that require a tough a flexible product. Also, for applications that call for smaller widths of material such as hanger doors, industrial bumpers, etc.
