Are WARCO products resistant to oil and petrol?
Both SBR and EPDM are not resistant to oils, greases, petrol or diesel. Permanent or intensive contact with these substances causes the rubber to swell and lose its strength and elasticity. However, brief contact is harmless.
WARCO flooring is often used as a floor covering in car collections, as it protects the tyres from damage during storage. Oil leaks do not usually occur in such vehicles - and if they do, it is advisable to place a collection container underneath if possible.
If WARCO flooring is used in workshops where oil or petrol occasionally leaks, the leaks should be collected immediately and the floor cleaned to prevent damage.
