ANSI / ASTM D 2000
American
National Standards Institute
Are
your rubber products meeting these standards or are you creating
possible problems for you and your company?
ANSI
/ ASTM standards give you the assurance you are receiving the
quality you deserve.
Know
what you're buying in a global economy.
Do
you know that some products like commercial grade neoprene can contain
very little neoprene and in some cases no neoprene at all? If the
price is extremely low, it's more than likely you're not getting
what you really want or need.

To ensure that you get what you pay for, buy rubber by the foot
or yard, not by the pound. You get more material for the money and
the best yield. Remem-ber, rubber polymers weigh less than a lot
of cheaper fillers like calcium carbonate or clay.
Guidelines
to use when buying rubber products
Use ANSI / ASTM D 2000 Standards when
ordering rubber products and be sure you verify these standards
with your supplier.
Buy rubber products by the foot or yard for better yields. Be sure
to verify pounds vs. yields with your supplier.
