Introduction: Choosing the right adhesive strip can achieve twice the result with half the effort in cleaning! Natural rubber is quiet and wear-resistant, polyurethane is oil and corrosion resistant, nitrile rubber is oil and acid resistant, EPDM is aging resistant and high temperature resistant - select according to the ground characteristics, and let the industrial floor washer play its best role.

The rubber strip (also known as scraper or squeeze) of industrial floor scrubbers is a key component for equipment cleaning effectiveness, directly affecting the water absorption effect.

Natural rubber (NR)
Features: Good elasticity, strong wear resistance, excellent scraping effect on smooth surfaces such as epoxy flooring and ceramic tiles.
Advantages: Good sealing performance, high water absorption rate, and excellent noise reduction effect.
Disadvantages: Not resistant to oil, ozone, and ultraviolet radiation, prone to aging due to long-term exposure to chemical agents or outdoor use.
Applicable scenarios: Indoor smooth and hard floors, such as warehouses, shopping malls, and hospitals.

2. Polyurethane (PU)
Features: High wear resistance, oil resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, strong tear resistance.
Advantages: Long lifespan, suitable for rough or heavily oily surfaces such as workshops and garages.
Disadvantages: The elasticity is slightly inferior to natural rubber, and the cost is higher.
Applicable scenarios: industrial plants, food processing plants, logistics centers, etc.

3. Nitrile rubber (NBR)
Features: Excellent oil resistance, strong acid and alkali resistance.
Advantage: Suitable for oily environments (such as mechanical processing plants, gas stations).
Disadvantages: It is prone to hardening at low temperatures and has poor elasticity.
Applicable scenarios: Areas with frequent contact with oil stains and chemicals.

4. Ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber
Features: High temperature resistance, ozone and ultraviolet resistance, suitable for outdoor or high-temperature environments.
Advantages: strong anti-aging performance and long service life.
Disadvantage: The scraping effect on smooth surfaces is average.
Applicable scenarios: outdoor venues, high-temperature workshops (such as metallurgical industry).
