Rubber expansion joints are flexible connectors made from natural or synthetic elastomers(Neoprene, EPDM, Nitrile, Hypalon, FKM, Buthyl) in which special fabrics are embedded to provide physical reinforcement. Rubber expansion joints provide a proven and flexible solution to accommodate many types of movements and requirements of industrial plant and equipment.
