Fire resistant rubber is a specialized elastomer compound designed to resist ignition and self-extinguish when the flame source is removed. At Everest Rubber, we manufacture fire resistant rubber sheets, rolls and gaskets from 100% high-quality neoprene, complying with international flame-resistant standards. Ideal for the chemical, oil and heavy industries where fire safety is critical. ISO 9001 certified manufacturer.
Self-Extinguishing Fire Resistant Rubber
Elastomer composed of 100% neoprene of the highest quality, with the best tension-resistance and elongation properties; complies with the international standards of flame-resistant rubbers (self extinguishable), excellent to cut all type of gaskets for the chemical and oil industries, its use is recommended when requiring the maximum temperature and aging resistance tipical of neoprene.
Excellent for making all types of gaskets for the chemical and oil industry. It is recommended when absolute safety in fire control is required, mainly in heavy and continuous work where there is heat generation by friction. In addition to its use in bulkheads, work tables and workshops where sparks are generated. For general purpose gaskets, see SBR rubber.

Flame Retardant Rubber High Abrasion
Neoprene gasket specially manufactured to comply with the maximum wear-resistance requirements, combining the most demanding safety standards regarding fire control; this is a self-extinguishable material (when flame is removed, the rubber self-extinguishes).
Fireproof rubber in rolls or sheets is a packaging made with different elastomers, it has an unparalleled resistance against fire. It is ideal for the chemical and oil industry due to its fire resistance. Used in conveyor belts operating in explosive atmospheres and areas where work is severe and longer product life is required, in addition to absolute safety against the spread of fire. For high-temperature applications, see silicone rubber.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fire Resistant Rubber
Is rubber fire resistant?
Most rubber is flammable, but specific compounds like neoprene-based fire resistant rubber are self-extinguishing. This means that when the flame source is removed, the material stops burning on its own. Everest Rubber manufactures fire resistant rubber sheets and gaskets that comply with international flame-resistant standards.
What is fire resistant rubber used for?
Fire resistant rubber is used for gaskets in the chemical and oil industries, conveyor belts operating in explosive atmospheres, bulkheads, work tables, workshops where sparks are generated, and any application requiring absolute safety against the spread of fire.
What is the temperature range of fire resistant rubber?
Fire resistant rubber has a temperature range of -13°F to 275°F (-25°C to 135°C). It also offers good resistance to oils, acids and outdoor exposure.
What is the difference between fire resistant and flame retardant rubber?
Fire resistant rubber is designed to resist ignition and self-extinguish when the flame source is removed. Flame retardant rubber is treated to slow the spread of fire. Both properties are often combined in the same material, as in our neoprene-based fire resistant rubber sheets.
