Natural Rubber

Seals in food and beverage applications. Most popular material for non-hydraulic sealing applications. Mainly used for dampeners due to its ability to absorb vibration.


This material is the vulcanized product of the juice of the Hevea tree (latex).

Key Uses: Seals in food and beverage applications. Most popular material for non-hydraulic sealing applications. Mainly used for dampeners due to its ability to absorb vibration.

High tensile strength, high resilience, high abrasion and high tear resistance properties, with a good friction surface and excellent adhesion to metals. Until the invention of synthetic elastomers in the 1930’s, this material was the only polymer available for O-ring manufacture. Natural Rubber features good resistance to organic acids and alcohols, with moderate resistance to aldehydes.
