Shotblast Rubber pads
Shotblast rubber pads are just one of thousands of products converted and supplied by ASG, with other pads also made using different material types, some of which are designed for specialist industries and applications such as solid shotblast rubber, which is specially formulated to offer a high tear strength and excellent abrasion resistance. Solid shotblast rubber is sometimes referred to as Tan Para Rubber which is manufactured in roll form with thicknesses starting at 1mm, from which ASG can cut or press pads. Shotblast rubber pads are produced in-house meaning we can manufacture bespoke items to match our customers samples or drawings in small or large quantities using one of our many presses, bandsaws or CNC (oscillating knife) machines.

What are Solid Shotblast Rubber Pads?
Solid shotblast rubber or para rubber is produced using natural latex, creating a ‘tan’ coloured soft rubber material - similar in texture and appearance to material used to manufacture elastic bands. This material has been formulated to have outstanding abrasion and tear resistance, therefore making a very robust and resilient pad. Using in-house machinery ASG are able to produce pads as squares or rectangles with the option of radius corners, and also as circular or oval shaped pads or ‘discs’, in a range of thicknesses.
Why use Solid Shotblast Rubber Pads?
Pads are often manufactured using Solid shotblast rubber as the material is extremely strong and durable,offering a high tensile strength, excellent resistance to abrasion and tear and a good resistance to weak chemicals, dilute acids and alkalis. It is manufactured in a shore hardness of 45°, has a working temperature of - 40°C to +85°C and is pre-manufactured in a wide range of standard thicknesses. Tan Paras or Shotblast rubber when used as a pads can form an effective seal, provide cushioning , reduce vibration and withstand impact and abrasion.
Benefits of Using Shotblast Rubber
- Can withstand harsh or abrasive media
- Working Temperature Range: -25°C to +70°C.
- Excellent resistance to abrasion.
- Good strength and durability.
- High elasticity
- Excellent tear strength
Advantages of Using Solid Shotblast Rubber Pads
Using solid Shotblast or Tan Para rubber for applications that require rubber pads brings many advantages. It is a highly abrasive resistant natural rubber that is available in tan or black colour options (with the tan being more readily available) and has a hardness of around 45° to 50° shore depending on the colour taken. Rolls of shotblast rubber are pre-manufactured in a range of thicknesses allowing for quicker lead times for cut pads as the splitting process used with sponge and foams is eliminated. Shotblast rubber pads have a very high abrasion resistance and elasticity, designed for applications including shot-blast cabinet seals, wear or impact pads, protection from abrasion and antivibration, etc.
Different Types of Shotblast Rubber Available
Black shotblast rubber - manufactured from a black abrasion resistant grade natural rubber. This material, like the Tan variety, is extremely durable with an excellent tear resistance and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C for use within the most demanding construction applications.
