Rubber-Cal Neoprene 1/8-in T x 12-in W x 24-in L Black Commercial 50A durometer Rubber Sheet

Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene elastomer is a tough sheet rubber material that is ideal for industrial applications. Industrial neoprene, also called by its chemical name chloroprene rubber (CR), was developed by DuPont in the 1930s to meet the demand for a rubber material with chemical resistance. While other synthetic rubbers may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this neoprene rubber is designed to endure. Our sheet neoprene is actually a compound, made with a 10% rubber neoprene base and a blend of styrene butadiene rubber and chloroprene to give it the strength of both synthetic elastomers. This mix of synthetic rubber materials gives the sheet neoprene moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The result is a smooth and solid vulcanized rubber sheet that has excellent abrasion resistance and works great in high-stress industrial applications.Rubber-Cal’s sheet neoprene is favored for its diverse range of resistance. The unique mix of SBR rubber and chloroprene that makes up Rubber-Cal’s neoprene sheet gives it moderate resistance to many substances that can easily degrade other synthetic rubber types. The rubber neoprene holds up much longer than alternatives, even against acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals. This sheet neoprene is also highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects. Though other types of rubber material may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other material offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that neoprene rubber does. This thin sheet rubber is backed with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to skip costly installation and instead turn it into an easy DIY project. Our self-adhesive neoprene sheet is versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike and offers excellent all-around resistance.
