Armorite Rubber

High resistance for extreme industrial conditions

Armorite Rubber

Armorite rubber is a high-strength industrial elastomer, also known as armorite rubber, high abrasion rubber or heavy-duty rubber. Designed to withstand extreme abrasion, impact and temperature conditions on conveyor belts, mining and cement plants. Available in High Abrasion and Fire Resistant versions.

High Abrasion Armorite Rubber

High Abrasion Armorite Rubber provides excellent wear resistance in applications with abrasive or high-impact materials. Its formulation ensures high durability against continuous friction, ideal for protecting industrial equipment and structures.

Manufactured with superior performance elastomers, this armorite rubber maintains its mechanical integrity under severe load or pressure conditions. Ideal for side skirts on conveyor belts and linings for hoppers or ducts.

With a dense structure and good energy absorption, high abrasion rubber reduces component wear and extends equipment service life. It is a reliable choice for mining, cement plants, and aggregate facilities looking to minimize maintenance downtime.

Fire Resistant Armorite Rubber

Fire Resistant Armorite Rubber combines excellent mechanical performance with self-extinguishing properties, offering greater safety in areas where there is exposure to heat, sparks or direct flame. Its special formulation prevents fire spread and maintains its structural integrity at elevated temperatures.

This fire resistant armorite rubber retains good flexibility and strength, making it ideal for coatings, skirts and guards in demanding industrial environments. It is widely used in mining, cement plants and power plants where fire safety is a priority.

In addition to its flame retardant capacity, fire resistant rubber offers acoustic insulation and vibration absorption properties, contributing to a safer and more efficient work environment.

Main Applications

Industrial sectors where Armorite Rubber makes a difference

Mining

Protection on mineral conveyor belts, hoppers and processing equipment under extreme abrasion conditions.

Cement Plants

Sealing and protection in cement plants where there is exposure to abrasive materials and high temperatures.

Aggregate Plants

Side skirts on conveyor belts for sand, gravel and crushed stone to prevent spillage.

Armorite Rubber Uses in Mexico

Armorite Rubber is a material widely used in the mining, cement, steel and transportation industry due to its resistance to abrasion, friction and environmental exposure. Its main function is to serve as a side skirt on conveyor belts, preventing material spillage and improving operational efficiency.

It is also used in construction and industrial plants as an acoustic and anti-vibration element, reducing impact between structures and equipment. In some cases, fire resistant rubber is used in areas requiring greater heat safety or fire risk.

Its versatility also makes it an excellent option for linings for hoppers, ducts, retaining walls, cargo vehicles and impact areas, offering long service life and low maintenance. It is one of the most reliable industrial rubber solutions in Mexico for protection, sealing and abrasion control.
