Rubber Matting VS. Steel Matting

Many different types of Matting are used in a variety of various applications. Two of the most common types are rubber type and steel type matting. While both have their unique benefits and drawbacks, one is typically better suited for a given application than the other.

Rubber matting is made from rubber and is often used in industrial settings where there is a need for anti-slip protection. It can be used as either a standalone product or in conjunction with other types of Matting. One benefit of rubber matting is that it can be easily cleaned and maintained. It also has excellent thermal and sound insulation properties. However, it is not as durable as steel matting and can be more susceptible to weathering and UV radiation damage. Steel matting is often used in industrial settings where there is a need for high levels of flexibility and durability.

Manufacturing Process

Rubber matting is produced in various ways, but the most common process begins with liquid latex. Latex is mixed with different chemicals to create the desired rubber compound. The compound is then poured into a mold and cured. The cured rubber is then cut into the desired size and shape mats. The rubber used to produce the carpets is usually a blend of natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber is made from latex and chemicals that break down and soften the chemical bonds in the latex. Synthetic rubber is manufactured by combining different types of synthetic chemical compounds.

Different Types of Rubber Matting
