There are a number of situations when you might need to provide insulation from moisture. These situations demand that you use sponge rubber mats or underlays, rubber bumpers or even rubber pads to effectively shut out damp. The dampness which causes most damage to humans and materials is caused by steam. Remember humans can sustain burn injuries if exposed to direct steam. A major burn hazard source is found in industrial plants that utilize steam process lines. In many typical applications hot steam lines are initially covered with a permanent fixture of hard lagging and mineral wool insulation. As plant processes evolve or if system problems occur, sections of insulation are often removed for troubleshooting, pipe replacement or line reconfiguration.
Recent advancements in thermal protection technologies are utilizing closed cell silicone sponge rubber materials to create a wrap for protecting hot process lines. Unlike traditional mineral wool the sponge rubber wrap system does not required a hard lagging to ...

This material has a very low thermal conductivity and a high temperature resistance making it an excellent choice as a burn protection medium.
If you use the right kind of rubber pad, any mattress is a good for your baby. Besides improving the feel of the mattress, these pads also allow air to circulate under the baby's body, giving him a fresher feeling. You can prevent moisture like baby's sweat, spilled water or milk from bottles etc from seeping into the mattress with rubber pads used between the sheet and the crib mattress.

In the cold season, using rubber pads keeps the baby warmer since they absorb and retain his body heat.
