Sliders

The slider names provide their hardness value, standard rubber sliders are 76±1.0 mm X 25.4±1.0 mm x 6.35±0.5 mm & can be supplied as a replacement rubber to be adhered to a backing plate or as a slider/backing plate assembly.

Slider 96 (Four S) was developed as a hard shoe heel material & is still the primary test rubber when evaluating internal flooring materials for pedestrian use. Slider 55 (TRRL rubber) was developed as a soft tyre compound to asses the skid resistance of roads but is now used to simulate the soft sole of shoe material found on “Trainer” type shoes & has even been used as a substitute for skin when evaluating swimming pool surrounds.

Sliders can be supplied in single units, loose or mounted on an aluminum base plate. Sliders can be provided in bespoke sizes & thicknesses
