About this product

Frequently used as a natural rubber for veterinary clinics, hospitals and animal recovery rooms, Linatex® rubber provides added protection, safety and support for injured or recovering animals post-treatment. All recovery rooms can be customised to suit the application. Overview With a century of field experience, Linatex® rubber is highly regarded for its resistance to impact, cutting and tearing.

The bottom layer is an energy-absorbing foam which minimises the impact of falls, while the top layer is made from Linatex® premium rubber, providing a tough and flexible outer skin. This combination of material provides a waterproof rubber that is safe, durable, easily cleaned and comfortable for the animal’s recovery.

Features and benefits Naturally Strong Made with Linatex® premium rubber which: • Is made up of 95% natural rubber and exhibits advanced mechanical properties • Provides outstanding resilience, strength and resistance to cutting, tearing and abrasion in wet and dry conditions • Offers extended wear life and unmatched wear performance in even the harshest of environments compared to other types of rubber High Resistance to Cutting and Tearing Linatex® natural rubber is renowned for its resistance to impact, cutting and tearing. This reduces the likelihood of animal hooves (especially those of horses) cutting or tearing the rubber and creating secondary problems for both the animal and the room. Greater Protection, Comfort and Support Compared to other types of rubber, Linatex® premium rubber provides additional support, comfort and protection for animals in recovery by minimising the impact caused by falls. After an operation, the floors and walls of a recovery room need to be soft but resilient. Linatex® natural rubber provides both of these benefits.
