Rubber compounding plays a vital role in the building and construction industry, providing materials that offer enhanced durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors. These compounds are used in many building materials to provide superior weather resistance, thermal insulation, and noise reduction. They have a wide usage as essential components in modern construction practices because of their robustness and versatility which contribute to the longevity and safety of building structures. Their flexibility and resistance to extreme temperatures make them an ideal choice for construction projects.
In the building and construction industry, rubber compounding polymers are selected for their ability to withstand environmental stress, provide insulation, and resistance to temperature. Some of the key polymers used are EPDM, Butyl Chloroprene and NR/SBR.
They are mainly used for Roofing Membranes, Pond Lining, Window & door profile, Flooring Tiles, wheel stoppers, speed bumpers and thermal insulation applications. Due to its resilience and ability to absorb shock and vibrations they are also utilized in expansion joint seals, bridge bearings & Sound barrier panels.
