Natural Rubber Pads
Natural Rubber Pads
Here at Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd, we stock a wide variety of materials including solid natural rubber. Solid Natural Rubber is manufactured using naturally occurring latex from rubber trees and is an excellent material for a variety of applications due to its strength, tear resistance, and shock absorption capabilities. As a leading supplier and converter of solid natural rubber, we perform all conversions on-site, ensuring complete quality control. Our Solid Natural Rubber pads are available in a selection of sizes and thicknesses, and manufactured plain or with a self-adhesive backing. The standard shore hardness for natural rubber pads is 50 and 60 shore, however commercial grades are available at 65 shore, although these are only available in black
Whether we manufacture as a one-off or in large quantities, we work closely with our customers throughout the manufacturing process to provide a completely bespoke service. By combining state-of-the-art machinery such as presses, bandsaws and CNC machines, with a highly skilled workforce, we can produce top quality products that meet a broad range of requirements.
Solid Natural Rubber is available from us in many other forms including:

What is Solid Natural Rubber?
Natural rubber is the result of solids suspended in a milky fluid, known as latex, formed in a living organism. It is a strong, durable and waterproof material, available from us as standard in rolls 1.4 metres wide x 10 metres long with thickness starting at 0.5mm.
Solid natural rubber is manufactured using naturally occurring latex from the rubber tree. In general, the higher the proportion of natural rubber used in the compound, the higher the quality and mechanical strength of the product.
Due to its high tensile strength and good abrasion resistance, Solid Natural Rubber is ideal to produce parts where a strong robust material resistance is required including wear strips, gaskets and chute liners.
Why use Solid Natural Rubber Pads?
The properties of solid natural rubber are like those of sponge and foam, but without the cushioning and bounce, making solid rubber a more durable and resistant material. These properties make solid natural rubber ideal for use in demanding environments and often utilized by our customers in applications that require a tight, leak-proof seals that remain unaffected by impact.
Due to its resistances and high tensile strength, common uses include conveyor belting, outdoor sealing applications such as window and door seals, and components within the automotive industry such as pumps, hydraulics and flanges.
Different Grades of Solid Natural Rubber Pads
- BS1154 Natural rubber pads - This high-grade natural rubber has high tensile strength and is-non-abrasive. This material is available in black or white, enabling it to be used within the food and beverage production and packaging industries
- Tan Shot Blast rubber pads - A superior, long-lasting material with a high abrasion resistance, this material is ideal for very heavy-duty applications such as scraper blades and chute linings.
- Abrasion Resistant Natural Rubber pads - This high-quality natural rubber is specifically formulated and manufactured to resist abrasion and wear, it has high elasticity and is an effective seal under low compression settings. Available in black, red or white.
Benefits of using Solid Natural Rubber Pads?
- Strong & durable
