Why SBR Rubber?
SBR (Styrene Butadiene Rubber) is the industry-standard material for general-purpose industrial rubber sheeting. Originally developed as a synthetic alternative to natural rubber, SBR offers:
- Excellent abrasion resistance – outperforms natural rubber in high-wear applications
- Superior ageing stability – maintains properties over years of use
- Good water resistance – suitable for damp environments
- Cost-effective performance – premium quality without premium prices

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between 3mm and thicker rubber sheets?
3mm rubber sheet is ideal for applications requiring flexibility and a low profile – perfect for drawer liners, workbench surfaces, and fitting into tight spaces. For heavy-duty floor protection or areas with significant impact, consider our 6mm or thicker options.
Can I cut this rubber sheet myself?
Yes! 3mm SBR rubber is easy to cut with standard tools. Use heavy-duty scissors, a Stanley knife with a fresh blade, or a rotary cutter for clean edges. For straight cuts, use a metal ruler as a guide.
Is this rubber sheet oil resistant?
SBR rubber offers moderate oil and petroleum resistance, suitable for general workshop environments with occasional oil exposure. For continuous oil contact or harsh chemicals, we recommend our Nitrile (NBR) rubber sheets which offer superior chemical resistance.
How do I calculate how much rubber sheet I need?
Measure your required length in metres. The sheet is 1.4m wide, so each quantity unit gives you 1.4m². For example: a 2m × 1m workbench would need 2 metres (quantity 2), giving you 2m × 1.4m = 2.8m² of material with extra to trim.
What temperature range can this rubber withstand?
This SBR rubber sheet performs reliably between -20°C and +70°C, making it suitable for most UK indoor and outdoor applications. For higher temperature requirements, consider our EPDM or Silicone rubber sheets.
