Engineering Guide: White Rubber Sheet 3Mm

Engineering Insight: white rubber sheet 3mm
Material selection in industrial rubber applications is not a generic exercise but a precision-driven engineering decision. The performance, longevity, and safety of a component such as a 3mm white rubber sheet depend fundamentally on the formulation, polymer base, and compounding additives tailored to the operational environment. Off-the-shelf rubber sheets, while seemingly cost-effective, often fail to meet the exacting demands of specialized industrial processes due to their generalized composition and lack of environmental adaptation.
White rubber sheets, particularly at a 3mm thickness, are commonly used in food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, cleanroom environments, and electrical insulation applications. These sectors require materials that are not only mechanically robust but also compliant with stringent hygiene, chemical resistance, and electrical standards. A standard off-the-shelf product may appear visually suitable but can degrade rapidly when exposed to oils, ozone, UV radiation, or repeated thermal cycling. This premature failure stems from the use of inferior polymer matrices—often low-grade SBR or reprocessed rubber—that lack consistent cross-linking density and aging resistance.
Moreover, generic rubber sheets frequently omit critical certifications such as FDA compliance, ROHS, or UL recognition. In food-grade applications, for instance, non-compliant materials can leach harmful plasticizers or sulfur compounds, compromising product safety and regulatory adherence. Similarly, in electrical insulation roles, inadequate dielectric strength or surface resistivity in standard sheets can lead to short circuits or equipment failure.
At Suzhou Baoshida Trading Co., Ltd., we emphasize engineered solutions. Our white rubber sheet 3mm products are formulated using high-purity EPDM or silicone polymers, reinforced with pharmaceutical-grade fillers and cured under controlled conditions to ensure uniform physical properties. These formulations deliver superior resistance to heat aging (up to 150°C continuous), ozone cracking, and microbial growth—critical for maintaining integrity in demanding environments.
Custom compounding also allows for precise control over hardness, tensile strength, and compression set, ensuring compatibility with gasketing, sealing, and lining applications. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our sheets undergo batch-specific quality validation, including hardness testing, elongation verification, and visual inspection under ISO 9001 protocols.
The table below outlines the technical specifications of our engineered white rubber sheet 3mm, demonstrating the performance advantages derived from precise material science.
| Property | Test Method | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | ISO 2768 | 3.0 ± 0.2 mm |
| Hardness (Shore A) | ASTM D2240 | 60 ± 5 |
| Tensile Strength | ASTM D412 | ≥10 MPa |
| Elongation at Break | ASTM D412 | ≥250% |
| Temperature Range | — | -40°C to +150°C |
| Dielectric Strength | ASTM D149 | ≥18 kV/mm |

Selecting the correct rubber sheet is not about dimensions alone—it is about molecular integrity, environmental resilience, and regulatory alignment. Off-the-shelf products sacrifice these elements for speed and price. In contrast, engineered rubber solutions ensure reliability, safety, and total cost of ownership over the product lifecycle.
Material Specifications

Material Specifications: White Rubber Sheet 3mm
Suzhou Baoshida Trading Co., Ltd. supplies precision-engineered white rubber sheets in 3mm thickness, meeting stringent industrial demands for dimensional accuracy and performance consistency. Tolerance is maintained at ±0.2mm per ASTM D3182 standards, ensuring compatibility with critical sealing, gasketing, and insulation applications. The white pigment formulation avoids heavy metals and complies with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for food-contact suitability where specified. Each material variant undergoes rigorous batch testing for hardness, tensile strength, and compression set per ISO 37 and ISO 815 protocols. Surface finish adheres to N6 smoothness (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) to prevent particle entrapment in cleanroom or medical environments. Sheets are supplied in rolls (1.2m x 10m) or cut-to-size formats with laser-trimmed edges to eliminate burrs.
Material selection directly impacts operational longevity in chemical exposure, thermal cycling, or dynamic stress conditions. Viton fluorocarbon rubber delivers exceptional resistance to aggressive media including jet fuels, hydraulic fluids, and chlorinated solvents, with sustained serviceability up to 230°C. Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) provides optimal cost-performance balance for petroleum-based systems, though limited by ozone degradation above 100°C. Silicone excels in extreme-temperature biocompatible applications but exhibits lower tensile strength versus hydrocarbon rubbers. All formulations exclude sulfur accelerators to prevent staining in sensitive electronics assembly.
The comparative specifications below detail critical parameters for informed OEM material selection. Data reflects cured compounds at 3mm thickness under standard laboratory conditions (23°C, 50% RH).
| Material Property | Viton (FKM) | Nitrile (NBR) | Silicone (VMQ) | Test Standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hardness (Shore A) | 70 ± 5 | 75 ± 5 | 60 ± 5 | ASTM D2240 |
| Tensile Strength (MPa) | 14.0 min | 18.0 min | 7.0 min | ISO 37 |
| Elongation at Break (%) | 200 min | 300 min | 400 min | ISO 37 |
| Temperature Range (°C) | -20 to +230 | -30 to +100 | -60 to +200 | ASTM D573 |
| Compression Set (70h/100°C) | 25% max | 35% max | 20% max | ISO 815 |
| Specific Gravity | 1.85 ± 0.05 | 1.05 ± 0.05 | 1.20 ± 0.05 | ASTM D297 |
| Fluid Resistance (IRM 903) | Volume Swell ≤15% | Volume Swell ≤30% | Volume Swell ≤80% | ASTM D471 |
Viton demonstrates superior resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons and acids but requires higher cure temperatures (170-180°C). NBR achieves rapid vulcanization at 150°C with excellent abrasion resistance, though susceptible to swelling in polar solvents like acetone. Silicone maintains flexibility below -50°C and passes USP Class VI biocompatibility testing, yet exhibits higher gas permeability. All white sheet variants undergo ozone aging validation (50pphm, 40°C, 96h) with no cracking observed per ASTM D1149. Suzhou Baoshida guarantees traceability through material certificates documenting raw batch numbers, cure history, and third-party verification reports for critical OEM deployments.
