What Exactly is Linatex Material?

In industrial production, we often encounter a highly elastic red soft sheet marked with the Linatex logo, known as Linatex material. This material is primarily composed of over 95% natural rubber, differing significantly from regular rubber sheets in terms of wear resistance, tensile strength, and lifespan. The original manufacturer, Weir Minerals, registered the “Linatex” trademark, making it a legendary brand in the industry. A leading industry name, this material has become synonymous with high-performance rubber.

Why is Linatex Material Unique?

Composition and Production Process:

Linatex material consists mainly of 95% natural rubber and small amounts of additives. Each manufacturer’s formula varies, resulting in different product performances.

DEF Rubber, a leading manufacturer, produces high-wear-resistant liquid-phase natural rubber, serving as an excellent alternative to Linatex material, praised for its quality and durability. DEF Rubber’s unique wet rubber mixing technology preserves the long-chain molecular structure of natural rubber and uses nano-particle modification to enhance the fusion of additives.
