High abrasion skirtboard rubber, also known as armorite rubber, is a wear-resistant elastomer designed for the most demanding industrial applications. At Everest Rubber, we manufacture high abrasion skirtboard, hi-performance skirtboard and self-extinguishing skirtboard for conveyor belts in mining, cement and bulk material handling. ISO 9001 certified manufacturer with fast delivery across the USA.
High Abrasion Skirtboard Rubber for Conveyor Belts
Wear high-resistance elastomer; ideal to use in mining plants, cement factories and for all type of contact with abrasive materials, such as sides on conveyor belts and other different applications.
Our high abrasion skirt rubber, also known as armorite rubber, is used in mining plants, cement plants and for all types of contact with abrasive materials, such as the sides of conveyor belts or other diverse applications.
Skirtboard Rubber (Armorite)
The rubber skirt or armorite rubber is made of a highly wear resistant material with good insulation capacity. The roll of high abrasion rubber skirt helps to contain moving materials and dampen vibrations between two elements.
Rubber skirts are also widely used to protect the various mechanical parts of your machinery from being damaged and/or to reduce vibrations. For mining-specific solutions, see rubber for mining.

Applications of Skirt Rubber or Armorite Rubber
- Ideal for use as conveyor belt guides or sidewalls in mining, cement or any industry where bulk material is transported.
- Our high abrasion rubber skirt is also used in the Construction Industry as a Vibration Eliminator, Acoustic Insulator and even to prevent telluric movements from affecting the constructions if they hit each other.
- Developed to withstand the constant movement of machine parts against each other, resisting wear and even abrasions. It can be used with slow or high speed machines that produce vibrations and impact loads in their movements.
- It is also commonly used in factories, primary sector or coal bunkers.
We comply with the strictest quality norms and standards for its commercialization and sale. For even higher performance, see our hi-performance skirtboard.
Hi-Performance Skirtboard for Abrasive Solids
The hyperformance red rubber skirt is ideal for sealing storage tanks, leaching tanks, fittings and pipelines containing or transporting solids in aqueous phase.
Optimized combination of elastomers resulting in a maximum material strength properties, elongation and abrasion. Maximum performance in transport of abrasive solids. say its intense red color!

Frequently Asked Questions about High Abrasion Skirtboard
What is high abrasion skirtboard rubber?
High abrasion skirtboard rubber, also known as armorite rubber, is a wear-resistant elastomer designed for use in mining plants, cement factories and any application involving contact with abrasive materials, such as the sides of conveyor belts.
What is the difference between high abrasion and hi-performance skirtboard?
High abrasion skirtboard offers excellent wear resistance with a Shore A hardness of 55-75 and 1650 PSI tensile strength. Hi-performance skirtboard is a softer, more elastic compound (Shore A 45-55) with higher elongation (750%) for maximum performance in transporting abrasive solids.
What is armorite rubber?
Armorite rubber is another name for high abrasion skirtboard rubber. It is a highly wear-resistant material with good insulation capacity, used to contain moving materials and dampen vibrations between two elements.
Is high abrasion skirtboard rubber fire resistant?
Yes, the Skirtboard High Abrasion 1/4" version is manufactured as a self-extinguishing material, making it ideal for conveyors operating in explosive atmospheres and areas requiring absolute safety against the spread of fire.
