Description
Uncured intermediate rubber is a key unvulcanized rubber material used in hot conveyor belt splicing. During splice preparation, the rubber sheet is placed in the internal splice structure according to the belt construction and approved splice design.
Under heat and pressure, the intermediate rubber vulcanizes together with the prepared belt rubber, reinforcement layers and other compatible splicing materials to form an integrated and flexible splice. It is also known as tie gum or uncured skim rubber.
Feature:
Reliable Internal Bonding: Formulated to create strong rubber-to-rubber and reinforcement-to-rubber bonding within hot-vulcanized conveyor belt splices.
Controlled Vulcanizing Characteristics: Balanced processing properties support consistent splice preparation and curing when used according to the specified vulcanizing conditions.
High Flexibility: The cured intermediate rubber remains flexible enough to accommodate repeated conveyor belt bending and dynamic loading.
Compatible with Fabric and Steel Cord Belts: Different tie gum grades can be supplied for fabric and steel cord conveyor belt splice constructions
