Note: This chart should be used only as a general guideline. A number of Armacell (Monarch®) products are very comparable to Rubatex materials, with only slight variations in density, Shore 00 and / or compression deflection values. Other materials have more substantial variations which include (but not limited to): density, compression deflection and flame resistance. Flame resistance information is not provided for either manufacturer on these charts. Each cross reference recommendation should be evaluated thoroughly with ALL physical properties compared before a decision is made. Specific applications may require specific flame resistance or density properties for example. Thickness is also a major consideration when choosing the right product for a specific application. The thickness of a closed cell material affects flame resistance. Alternate colors are available for many Monarch products (black, gray, light gray etc.)

A FULL MATERIAL COMPARISON for EACH product is available upon request. Many of these comparisons have already been done, and would therefore be available for your review without much delay. Please let me know if there is a specific Armacell (Monarch®) or Rubatex product that you would like to have added to this list. Notification of any errors would also be appreciated. The revision date of this document is located at the top of each page.
