Checker NBR / 3mm / 1,2x10m / SCP Select

Checker flooring – solid NBR rubber

Checker rubber flooring made from solid NBR rubber is a specialised floor covering with a characteristic embossed “checker plate” pattern on the surface. It is based on a nitrile‑butadiene rubber (NBR) compound – an oil‑resistant rubber – which makes this flooring a suitable choice for industrial and technical areas where contact with oils, greases and fuels is likely. The product is supplied in rolls of standard lengths and widths, easy to cut by hand with a utility knife and to adapt to the shape of rooms, traffic routes or workstations.

NBR checker flooring effectively dampens vibrations and noise, improves walking comfort and reduces the risk of footwear slipping thanks to its raised, directional surface pattern. It is recommended as a finish for concrete floors in workshops, machine service zones, industrial halls, warehouses, ramps and working platforms, as well as in vehicle loading areas where oil and grease spills may occur. It can also be used as a material for worktops and storage surfaces, where in addition to protection against scratches, increased resistance to oil contamination is required. NBR checker flooring is an industrial‑grade product – immediately after unpacking a noticeable rubber odour may be present, which gradually fades over time with adequate ventilation of the room.

Application conditions and limitations

The NBR rubber used in checker flooring is intended for service in environments where oils, fuels and greases may be present, but its resistance to specific media depends on the type of substance, its concentration, exposure time and operating conditions. Despite its enhanced oil resistance, the material is not fully resistant to all chemicals or to long‑term exposure to weathering, ozone and UV radiation, so the flooring should preferably be used indoors or in sheltered areas. The typical operating temperature range for NBR floorings is comparable to standard oil‑resistant sheets (approximately from -20°C to +70°C); for applications close to the limits of this range and in contact with specific substances, it is recommended to carry out a trial under actual service conditions and to select an appropriate fixing method (loose‑laid or bonded to the substrate) depending on the expected loads.
