The reinforced rubber used to manufacture Hevea Qanik snowplow and snow blower blades is moulded from the best-quality raw material. Made of a single piece of rigid, homogenous rubber, the blades are virtually obstacle-proof.
Recycled rubber can be very useful in static applications; however, in constantly moving parts, it deteriorates very quickly. Recycled rubber is made of scrap rubber mixed with powerful chemical additives that “glue” the pieces together.
Conveyor belt rubber is made of commercial rubber with fabric on the inside. This material, although extremely stretch-resistant, is not particularly resistant to friction.
Teflon® is an inexpensive, extremely rigid, high-density plastic. It was long considered an alternative to steel because it is safer for surfaces. However, it isn’t as resistant to abrasion, and use can leave marks on paved surfaces.
