The new generation of rubber

Linatex® HM has been specically developed for the
rubber belting industry as a product that exhibits
the excellent performance features of Linatex®
Premium Rubber with the additional benet of dry
abrasion resistance.

Features

Made from natural latex, Linatex® HM is produced
using a unique, patented manufacturing process
ensuring superior abrasion resistant performance.

• Low permanent set

Linatex® HM is not classed as an oil rubber compound,
however this product exhibits superior resistance to
oils and organics. Linatex® HM has up to four times the
kerosene resistance of standard Linatex® Rubber.

• Excellent resistance to wet abrasion
• High resilience

• Resistance to a wide range of chemicals including
oils and organics
Linatex® HM is both available in sheet form or as

Thus providing a high quality solution for applications
where standard Linatex® Premium Rubber may not be
considered.
