Cover compounds

General Purpose — AS-N

A balanced general-purpose cover for moderate abrasion and impact conditions.

Product overview

Built around the duty.

AS-N is the normal-service cover class for bulk materials where no dominant special property is required. It offers a practical balance of strength, elongation and wear resistance for moderate operating conditions.

AS 1332 tensile strength≥ 17 MPa
AS 1332 elongation at break≥ 400%
AS 1332 abrasion loss≤ 200 mm³

Specification note

These are minimum cover-rubber properties for the AS-N classification, not Double Arrow proprietary test results. Lower abrasion-loss values indicate better laboratory abrasion resistance.
