TIVAR® RUBBER-BACKED
Bulk Handling Grade
Tivar® Rubber-Backed sheet is a composite material formed from Tivar® 1000 and 3mm or 5mm thick rubber backing. The rubber allows it to be glued to surfaces where metal fasteners cannot be used.
All the properties of Tivar® 1000 apply but with the ability to absorb high energy at high stress rates.
Tivar® grades exhibit excellent impact resistance and can be used in applications where there is a lot of impact taking place. Wear resistance and sliding capabilities are additional attributes. The addition of the rubber backing results in better impact absorption and thermal expansion and also minimises substrate corrosion. The rubber backing further eliminates fasteners and is easily bonded to a metal substrate with adhesive.
