Why does a much thinner crepe sheet yield better results ？

Natural rubber crepe sheets being thinner is preferable, primarily due to their processing techniques, performance optimization, and application requirements.

1. Enhanced Physical Properties and Processing Efficiency

   During processing, Zhanjiang Weida Machinery’s CREPER machine compresses and dehydrates gel blocks through roller pressing. This not only effectively removes moisture and impurities but also creates a more uniform thin-sheet structure for subsequent crepe production. Thinner sheets allow better control over drying uniformity, reduce internal stress concentration, and significantly improve rubber plasticity, Mooney viscosity, and other properties.  

2. Impurity Control and Purity Improvement

   Thin crepe sheets require strict production standards for color and impurity content. Thinner materials facilitate easier impurity screening and removal during processing.  

3. Convenience for Storage and Transportation

   Thin sheets are easier to roll, stack, and store, minimizing space usage. They also dry more thoroughly, reducing mold risks.  

4. Meeting Specific Application Demands

   In high-end applications like ultra-thin latex products (e.g., medical gloves, condoms), the elastic molecular chain structure of natural rubber ensures that even extremely thin sheets retain high tensile strength and tear resistance. Additionally, thin sheets enable multilayer compounding in tire manufacturing (e.g., combining tread rubber with carcass rubber) to balance performance aspects like wear resistance and comfort.  

In summary, the superiority of thinner natural rubber crepe sheets lies in:  

- Optimizing material structure and reducing defects through Zhanjiang Weida Machinery’s thinning process.  

- Meeting demands for high purity, ease of processing, and specialized applications.
