Rubberflex CSM is a hypalon rubber compound that is made to suit specific customer requirements. Rubberflex CSM exhibits excellent resistance against ozone and weathering, good resistance against oxidizing chemicals, mineral oils and fuel. It also has excellent electrical insulating properties and very good temperature resistance.

Rubberflex CSM sheeting is only applied using the hot vulcanized system and therefore is only available in uncured form, then applied to abrasive blasted components in accordance with BS6374:Part 5:1985. Cured hardness is compounded to customer requirements, although 60 Shore A is the most common.
