Description
Flame Retardant Rubber Sheet – Fire Resistant Industrial Grade
Our flame retardant rubber sheet meets stringent fire safety standards, making it essential for applications where fire risk must be minimised. This self-extinguishing FR rubber won't propagate flames and is designed for use in high-risk environments including underground mining, railway, marine, and public building applications.
Manufactured from a fire-resistant Neoprene/EPDM blend, this industrial-grade rubber sheet complies with relevant fire safety regulations and provides peace of mind in safety-critical installations. When exposed to flame, the material self-extinguishes rather than continuing to burn.

Frequently Asked Questions
What fire rating does this rubber sheet have?
This flame retardant rubber is self-extinguishing, meaning it will stop burning once the ignition source is removed. It meets BS 476 requirements for surface spread of flame. For specific certifications (EN 45545-2 for railway, marine approvals), please contact us with your requirements and we can provide appropriate documentation.
Is this rubber suitable for underground mining applications?
Yes, this FR rubber sheet is specifically designed for underground mining environments where fire risk is critical. It's suitable for conveyor skirting, walkways, and machine guarding. The self-extinguishing properties and low smoke emission make it compliant with mine safety regulations.
What's the difference between flame retardant and standard rubber?
Standard SBR rubber will burn when exposed to flame. Flame retardant rubber contains fire-inhibiting additives that make it self-extinguishing – it stops burning when the flame source is removed. FR rubber also produces less smoke and toxic fumes. The trade-off is slightly higher cost, but this is essential for safety-critical applications.
Can I get fire certification documentation for building control?
Yes, we can provide test certificates and material data sheets for building control approval. Please contact us before ordering if you need specific documentation. We can also supply samples for independent testing if required for your project.
What thickness should I choose for floor covering?
For floor coverings in public buildings, 3mm is usually sufficient. For industrial applications with heavy foot traffic or trolleys, choose 5mm. For areas with vehicle traffic or where additional impact protection is needed (e.g., mining equipment), 6mm provides maximum durability.
