What is Rubber-Coated Metal Sheet?

A rubber-coated metal sheet is a composite material consisting of a layer of metal, usually steel or aluminum, coated with a thin layer of rubber. This material combines the mechanical strength of metal with the elasticity and vibration-damping properties of rubber, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.

Rubber-coated metal sheets are highly valued for their ability to combine the toughness of metal with the flexibility of rubber, offering effective and durable solutions in various sectors.

Properties of Rubber-Coated Metal Sheets

Athena Industries offers a range of compact rubber-coated metal sheets and foam rubber-coated metal sheets. These materials provide numerous advantages over traditional materials. Their main properties include:

Resistance to Chemicals

Rubber coatings such as NBR or Viton are selected based on the application and offer resistance to aggressive fluids such as oils, fuels, and solvents.

High Wear Resistance

Especially in harsh environments, rubber-coated metal sheets are able to withstand abrasion and mechanical wear, extending the operational life of coated parts.
