LINATEX® VS

Wear resistant uncured rubber for fine
slurry applications
Linatex® VS is an uncured natural rubber compound
designed specifically for use in fine slurry applications
where hot bonding is the preferred method of
installation.

Features

Using the same formulation principles employed in
its industry standard Linatex® Premium Rubber, we
have created a product that worldwide field tests
confirm provides a differentiated wear performance,
when compared to competitor uncured natural rubber
compounds.
