In 1770 an English chemist, Joseph Priestly, gave the name “rubber” to the raw material when he discovered it would “rub off” pencil marks. Since that time many advancements in the use of natural rubber and the development of synthetic rubber material allows it to resist heat, fire, moisture, oils, cold weather, sunlight, ozone, material build–up and more. In Mining and Aggregate most choose rubber because it will:

Absorb Great Impact. When the goal is reducing the shock and damaging vibration of severe impact, rubber maximizes the life of equipment and dramatically reducing your cost-per-ton.

Resist Severe Abrasion. In most cases, metal surfaces just can’t compete with rubber for long-term abrasion resistance.

Reduce Noise Emission Significantly. Noise pollution is a key consideration of the environment and for people working on and around job sites.

It also comes in handy for dust control, weight reduction, ease of installation and corrosion resistance. Plus it is highly customizable.
