SHEET LINE / FIRST ORDER
Compare factory quotes on the same rubber sheets line
FREE review of product, quantity, destination and sourcing requirements
Eligible first orders may receive up to 3%
Eligibility applies to qualified business buyers and is confirmed after we review your product, quantity, destination, and sourcing requirements. Final figures depend on supplier confirmation, product type and order value. This is not a discount, lowest-price, or today-only offer.
Rubber Sheets Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner for US plant buyers who need rubber sheets as calendered plate for gasket stock, industrial floor liners and wear pads — not gym mats. Share compound, Shore A hardness, thickness, sheet size, quantity and destination so factories can return wholesale quotes on the same line.
This desk issues one written list. It does not reprint a factory hardness, tensile strength (MPa or psi) or compression set (%) figure as its own rating.
Ask the plant for the current TDS and SDS that name the quoted compound. A company brochure is not that file.
| Field | Buyer writes |
|---|---|
| Shore A hardness | Target durometer the receiving plant will check |
| ASTM method | D2000 callout or named hardness / tensile method |
NBR, EPDM, SBR and neoprene share Shore A language. They do not share oil, ozone or outdoor behaviour. The buyer still names the compound.
| Axis | Keep separate |
|---|---|
| Compound | Do not merge buna, EPDM and natural into one default |
| Density g/cc | Only if the factory uses it to split grade |
Finished L × W or a drawing belongs on the line. This form has no upload field; send drawings after we reply.
| Field | Unit |
|---|---|
| Thickness | Inches or millimetres on the priced line |
| Width / sheet size | Finished blank or roll width |
Factories can quote after the axes below are written. Missing axes become the supplier’s silent default. Rubber Sheets Sourcing does not fill them.
| Field | How to write it | Buyer decision |
|---|---|---|
| Thickness | Inches or millimetres on the priced line | The buyer names the gauge; this desk does not pick “standard” |
| Width and sheet size | Finished L × W, or roll width if a coil is intended | Cut-to-size versus stock blank stays the buyer’s call |
| Density | g/cc only if the factory uses it to split grade | Leave blank unless the drawing already uses it |
| Field | How to write it | Buyer decision |
|---|---|---|
| Hardness | Shore A for this family; do not mix in Shore D | The receiving plant owns the target durometer |
| Compound | NBR / EPDM / SBR / neoprene or a named grade | Substitution is a new request, not a courtesy upgrade |
| Color / finish | Black, colored, cloth-inserted or a named finish | Cosmetic match is confirmed on a sample lot |
| Ask | What it covers | What it is not |
|---|---|---|
| Named ASTM method | Hardness, tensile strength (MPa or psi) or compression set as run | A plant brochure |
| Dimensional page | Thickness and sheet size of the quoted item | A family catalogue spread |
| Regulatory file | REACH SVHC, RoHS or FDA 21 CFR 177 only when the duty needs it | A company certificate used as a product stand-in |
Calendered NBR, EPDM, SBR or neoprene plate is in scope. Foam rubber sheet is a different construction and belongs on its own request.
Retail flooring tiles and fitness mats are excluded from this family. Industrial liners still need thickness, hardness and a named method.
Crosslinked rubber still holds compression set above continuous 120°C service where many TPE plates lose sealing force. The buyer names the chemistry.
Standard-size, cut-to-size, colored, UV-stabilized or thicker-gauge. Five labels, not five stocked SKUs.
US state or postal code and the delivery window travel with the pallet count. A cheaper unit on a different Incoterm is a different deal.
REACH, RoHS, FDA 21 CFR 177, ISO 9001, IATF 16949 and UL 94 names below are request labels. They are not badges this desk wears. A file counts only when it names the quoted rubber sheets grade and lot.
Open Spec CheckSVHC statement on the quoted compound if the receiving plant asked for it.
Restriction statement for the quoted sheet, not a trading-company letter.
Only when food-contact is on the duty and the grade is named.
Plant system file if requested; it is not a sheet certificate.
Ask only when the automotive PPAP package requires a plant file.
Flame rating belongs on the quoted thickness, not on a family brochure.
Procurement scenario, not a customer testimonial: a materials manager sends Shore A 70, 3 mm thickness, 48 × 96 in black NBR blanks and a named ASTM D2000 callout, then asks two factories to price the same pallet count to the same US destination. The cheaper unit on a different Incoterm is a different deal.
We will issue the same list to more than one factory. Missing fields stay visible. We do not publish a price list or a market-beating percentage.
