Rubber Coating
Rubber Coating
Rubber coatings are protective layers made from synthetic types of rubber materials applied to surfaces to provide protection and enhance durability. Rubber coatings offers a comprehensive range of solutions for rubber repair and polyurethane replication. Devcon Flexane® repair products are all flexible, urethane resin-based materials, available in a range of hardness’ with both liquid and putty grades.
At BHM, we use Devcon Flexane products to create parts that are often hard or impossible to source or require long lead times. The Flexane solution ensures that the operator is able to take control over all aspects required for a successful solution.
In liquid form they are castable, very low shrink compounds for producing new, custom or discontinued rubber parts and flexible moulds.
In putty form they may be used to repair worn or damaged rubber equipment, to form protective coatings as linings in extremely abrasive environments, or for repairs where equipment is subject to wear, impact or vibration.
Devcon Flexane® products bond to metal, rubber, concrete, fibreglass, wood and many other materials, specific primers are available to ensure optimum adhesion dependant on substrate They are all easily applied by trowel or brush and cure quickly to form a ‘rubber-like’ compound with exceptional tear strength and abrasion resistance.
Rubber coatings offer several benefits, including corrosion resistance, impact absorption. Here are some key features and benefits of rubber coatings:
- Corrosion Resistance:
Rubber coatings create a barrier that protects metal surfaces from corrosion, making them suitable for use in harsh environments such as marine and industrial settings. - Impact and Vibration Absorption:
Rubber’s inherent flexibility allows these coatings to absorb impact and vibrations, reducing damage to underlying surfaces and extending the life of equipment. - Waterproofing:
These coatings provide excellent waterproofing properties, preventing water ingress and protecting surfaces from moisture damage. - Flexibility:
Rubber coatings maintain their flexibility over a wide temperature range, allowing them to expand and contract with the substrate without cracking or peeling. - Ease of Application:
Rubber coatings can be applied using various methods, brushing, rolling, or dipping, depending on the specific requirements of the application.
