Oil seals are commonly used in driveshafts, crankshafts and hydraulic cylinders where a rotating shaft is lubricated by oil or grease. The seal works like a cap, covering the clearance between the shaft and housing, stopping fluids from leaking whilst preventing containments from entering the chamber. If you are replacing a worn part because you have identified a leak, refer to your machinery handbook to find the type of oil seal you require. Whilst this is not always possible there are a few guidelines to help you get the right seal for the job.
Rubber cord is manufactured when rubber is forced through a die of the required cross-section under pressure of an extruder. Rubber cords come with varying durability to different types of exposure. Common types include EPDM, Nitrile (NBR), Neoprene, and Silicone cords. They are used in various industrial applications including seals, motors and associated machinery, construction equipment, and portable tools and appliances, among others
Polymax can supply Rubber Cords in various different sizes, metric and imperial. Rubber Cord is available on our on-line shop in the following materials; Nitrile (NBR), FKM (Viton), EPDM, Silicone 60sh (various colours) silicone sponge and neoprene sponge rubber cord.
A rubber sheet is a sheet of rubber or a cloth coated with rubber. It comes in various types, including natural rubber, neoprene rubber, nitrile rubber and EPDM rubber. Rubber sheeting serves a variety of purposes, with industrial, commercial, and residential applications, and is commonly used for soundproofing, waterproofing, and packaging.
Our Polymax rubber sheeting range includes all commercial and specialist polymers including; NBR rubber sheet, EPDM rubber sheet, NR rubber sheet and have specialist polymers including silicone rubber and viton rubber sheets. Rubber sheets can be cut to your requirements.

Rubber moulding with Polymax is unique because we offer you complete control from design to box, which means you have the power to decide on every element within the manufacturing process. From conceptual design, prototyping, certifications, technical documents, quality assurance, testing, right through to packing and shipping. As well as this, we offer full control over the compound as our mixing plant has the capability to blend its own rubber materials
We offer a large selection of rubber bumpers, fenders and buffers. From small stick on rubber feet, to door stops and large heavy duty D-fenders. Protect walls, surfaces and vehicles with our economic bumper solutions. Suitable for use in marine harbours as boat fenders and dock bumpers.
Site safety refers to equipment and features like speed bumps and cable protectors that help meet health and safety requirements, reducing the risk of accidents. Such equipment is primarily used for construction site safety, but is also used and may even be mandatory in certain public spaces and commercial establishments.
The Site safety and traffic control range includes rubber speed bumps, corner rubber fenders, vehicle rubber wheel chocks rubber hose ramps and kerb rubber buffers. Our vehicle fenders are hard wearing and durable.
Silicone is a synthetic elastomer which provides unique physical properties in compassion to carbon-based rubber materials. It is the preferred choice in the food, beverage and medical industries due to its low toxicity, thermal stability and resistance to micro-bacterial growth. Some grades of silicone rubber can remain flexible down to temperatures as low as -100°C and as high as 315°C.
The Polymax silicone product range includes solid sheeting, sponge or foam sheeting, cord, sponge strips, O-rings, tubing, hoses and edging strips. We also provide a large collection of Momentive primers and adhesives.
Rubber adhesives are flexible, high-strength bonding agents. Rubber adhesives include acrylonitrile, styrene, natural rubber, neoprene, and polyurethane, among others. Rubber-derived contact adhesives may be used with various surfaces like glass, metal, and natural fibres.
Polymax supplies Mapei Adesilex rubber adhesives. They are ideal for use with our rubber flooring and matting range. We sell a variety of different types to suit indoor, high humidity, or external applications.
POLYMAX ADESILEX VZ has a low viscosity and can be used with most substrates and also on vertical walls for immediate grip.
Typical substrates include walls, floors, ceilings, wood, hardboard, metal and light alloys (in case of doubt always carry out a preliminary test on small test area)
After setting POLYMAX ADESILEX VZ has high adhesion and elasticity.Resistance to temperature and ageing is also excellent.
Not suitable for use on Fermacell building board.
