Our Mission
Educate and Deliver Value to our Clientele
Increase Efficiency of our Organization
Bring to Market “Living Brands” That Evolve with our Client’s Changing Demands

Establish 1994
Founded in 1994, Rubber-Cal is a distributor of industrial rubber products. The company provides and inventories a wide range of rubber mats, rubber flooring, sheet rubber, flexible ducting, coir doormats, pavement maintenance parts and other specialty rubber products. Our large inventory and 24-hour fulfillment of stocked products makes us a great partner to agile OEMs and retailers by reducing their need to inventory parts and raw materials. Most of our rubber goods can be purchased in small custom-cut lengths, decreasing both the cost and time of installation and onsite fabrication.

Eco-Conscious Products
Ingrained in our basic philosophy is the mission to offer “Green” products, whenever possible, to industry and consumers alike. Natural, reclaimed and recycled rubbers are not only a practical substitute but also a far more affordable option. Firstly, by using eco-friendly materials like natural and recycled rubber, we help to reduce the presence of non-biodegradable rubber waste in the ecosystem. In the US, there are approximately 245 million tires discarded annually. Our products help reduce the presence of these tires in dumpsites. Secondly, consumers directly benefit from recycled rubber products because they are more affordable than their synthetic counterparts. This has been a distinguishing hallmark that has served Rubber-Cal well over the years. In fact, it is a point of pride for us. Products using eco-friendly recycled rubber, such as our interlocking rubber floor tiles, are very popular with consumers because they offer superior protection and durability at a competitive price.

In the Media
Rubber-Cal's quality products have garnered attention for the company from the media. Recently, in 2016-17, our products appeared on prime time TV shows such as Sweat Inc., The Biggest Loser, Strong, and Save Our Shelters. Over the past ten years, our rubber products have appeared on The Martha Stewart Show, ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, NBC’s The Biggest Loser, US Open of Surfing, VH1’s Money Hungry, Mr. Olympia, Designed to Sell, DIY TV’s Run My Renovation, Extra Yardage, Man Caves and Grounds for Improvement. Rubber-Cal is proud to have been involved in the success of these shows. As the company continues to grow, consumers and industry can expect to see more of its products showcased in the media.

Our Staff
Rubber products can be complex and hard to understand. All of Rubber-Cal's success would not be possible without the dedicated expertise of its staff. Whether you need sheet rubber, rubber flooring, or custom-made rubber gaskets, our friendly and knowledgeable staff is on hand to help you find the right elastomer for your needs! The experts know that browsing through our product line may be intimidating for some, but they are here to guide you. With a firm belief in providing quality customer service, they make it their mission to educate and inform customers about rubber products.

New Product Release

The Shark Tooth II – Crazy named product but our customers love it! We are coming out with another version of this tough rubber mat. Keep an eye out for it in the first quarter of 2021.

Upcoming Trade Shows
We are planning on showing at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas in May of 2021. Keep your fingers crossed and get vaccinated!

EPDM is used outdoors and in abrasive industrial settings due to its superior heat-resistance, environmental resistance, chemical resistance, and moisture resistance, even to seawater. Synthetic EPDM is highly valued for its excellent life in the outdoors and is often used in outdoor industrial settings where it may come into contact with some mild chemicals, moisture, and outdoor damaging factors.

This is made possible through the physical and chemical properties of EPDM rolls which include resistance to mild chemicals, silicone oils and greases, extreme high and low temperatures, moisture, UV rays, ozone, and oxidation. This UV resistant rubber also retains a high tensile strength and excellent flexibility alongside its superior outdoor resistance properties.

Cellular EPDM rolls are more compressible than its solid counterpart and is best suited for highly compressive applications. Closed cell EPDM has a tight-knit cellular structure that resists the permeation of moisture to a high degree; however, open cell EPDM is a highly absorbent material often used for insulation or sound dampening. Solid or cellular EPDM is often used to make outdoor industrial rubber parts due to its resistance to the outdoor environment.

Silicone is considered a rubber rather than a plastic due to its flexibility and better resistance against breaking or tearing when stretched. Silicone rubber sheets are valued for being an eco-friendlier option over plastic while also retaining better resistance properties to extreme temperatures and damaging environmental factors. Silicone rubber sheets are not 100% environmentally friendly materials, but they are eco-friendlier than plastics.

This is true because silicon, one of the main chemical elements that make up silicone, derives from silica which is readily available in almost all types of sand. The chemical “silicon” is a for of silica found in sand that is used in the production of silicone rubber sheets; however, the silicon first needs to be extracted from the silica through a heating process that heats the material with carbon.

Plastics, on the other hand, are often made of non-renewable crude oil that is then altered to form a unique carbon. The properties of plastic are much weaker than those of silicone material. Plastic is not resistant to extreme temperatures or environmental factors making it less versatile than silicone material. Silicone rubber sheets are a far superior material when it comes to elasticity, resilience, and indoor/outdoor versatility.

Silicone can be applied over a wide range of temperatures ranging from as low as -103 degrees Fahrenheit to as high as +500 degrees Fahrenheit. Silicone sheet rubber has a unique silicon-to-oxygen bonded backbone structure allows it to remain a durable elastomer even in extreme temperatures. High temperature silicone is a unique inorganic material that is able to keep its shape when exposed to heat up to +500 degrees Fahrenheit. Silicone rubber will remain flexible at temperatures as low as -103 degrees Fahrenheit without hardening or becoming susceptible to embrittlement. Embrittlement refers to the hardening or softening of material that makes it susceptible to cracking. For most elastomers, low temperatures cause the material to harden making it easy to crack or break with the slightest bend.

Silicone sheet rubber remains intact in extreme heat and remain flexible at low temperatures without stiffening or becoming brittle. Due to these properties of silicone rubber, it is a popular material used in industrial applications involving heat. Furthermore, this thermal stability will help create and maintain a safe industrial environment.
