Further Information About Our Reorganization

To address our customers concerns, yes Rubatex® will be producing material again. As of now we are estimating we will be production ready by quarter three of this year. 

Our sponge materials were being contract manufactured by a company out of Clarksville, TN who used our Rubatex molds and formulations to produce some great product over the past 6 years. However, sadly they decided to close their doors as of late October 2018.

Right now we are working on getting our production commercially ready, and as mentioned, plan to be back up and running with full production by the third quarter of 2019. In the mean time, we are working to arrange temporary supply to ensure you can continue to purchase R4261, R4271 and 4281 (along with other common grades) from Rubberite Cypress Sponge.

Please note that all temporary and long-term supply will be focused on providing the consistent quality you've come to expect from Rubatex over the years.

If you have any additional questions please feel free to contact us at anytime.

The Rubatex Team

 

Working with Rubatex:

If you’re after a cheap material at a discounted price, we likely aren’t the right fit. But, if you’re looking to invest in a quality consistent material, with a product line that covers your essential industrial needs, we should talk. Give us a call 1-855-347-0816 or email us at sales@rubatexusa.com.

 

We're a fit for you if:

You buy closed cell foam for industrial applications.

Who we supply:

Industrial converters and distributors buying small or full truckload quantities of bun stock.

What we supply:

Neoprene, EPDM, CR/SBR Blend, Neoprene Blend, NBR, EVA & PE closed cell foam buns.

 

Converters and distributors buy from us when they:

1. Need a closed cell foam that excels in all general, commercial and industrial applications.

2. Require closed cell foam materials that range in density from soft to firm.

3. Have the option to select the perfect product for their application from a variety of polymer types.

4. Wish to purchase in either small or truckload quantities.

5. Would like to purchase an American made material.

6. Want to diversify their closed cell foam supplier base.
