Air Dried Sheets (ADS) | Rubblatex
Air Dried Sheets (ADS) are a form of natural rubber produced through an air-drying process rather than the more common method of smoke drying. ADS rubber sheets are known for their purity, consistency, and quality, making them an excellent choice for various industrial applications where high-grade natural rubber is required. At Rubblatex, we supply premium ADS that meets the rigorous demands of industries such as automotive, manufacturing, and consumer goods.
What are Air Dried Sheets (ADS)?
Air Dried Sheets (ADS) are produced from natural rubber latex that has been coagulated and formed into sheets before being dried through natural air circulation. This process, as opposed to smoke-dried sheets, results in a cleaner product with fewer impurities and lower odors, which is particularly beneficial for applications where odor sensitivity and purity are key.
ADS rubber sheets are often preferred in industries that require high-quality raw materials, as the air drying process maintains the natural rubber’s elasticity and resilience while minimizing chemical and particulate contamination.
Key Properties of Air Dried Sheets (ADS):
- High Purity: ADS rubber is produced without the introduction of smoke or chemicals, ensuring a cleaner, low-odor product that is free from contaminants.
- Elasticity and Strength: Like other natural rubber products, ADS offers excellent flexibility, elasticity, and tensile strength, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Low Odor: One of the primary benefits of the air drying process is the significantly reduced odor compared to smoke-dried sheets, which is an important factor in consumer products or environments sensitive to strong smells.
- Consistency: ADS provides uniform thickness and texture, ensuring consistency in the final products that use these sheets as raw material.
Applications of Air Dried Sheets (ADS):
ADS rubber sheets are widely used across various industries for their purity and performance:
- Automotive Parts: ADS is commonly used in the manufacture of tires, gaskets, and seals where durability and high performance are critical.
- Footwear: ADS rubber is often used in the production of high-quality soles for shoes, particularly in premium footwear that demands both flexibility and strength.
- Industrial Goods: ADS is used in the production of conveyor belts, hoses, and other industrial materials that require resilience and long-term durability.
- Consumer Products: Due to its low odor and high purity, ADS is ideal for products such as baby toys, rubber bands, and other everyday items where safety and cleanliness are important.
