Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene material is a tough sheet rubber that is ideal for industrial applications. Introduced by the DuPont Company in the 1930s, neoprene elastomer is a versatile material designed to meet the demand for a chemical and outdoor resistant rubber material. While other types of synthetic rubber may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this rubber neoprene is designed to endure. Our industrial neoprene is actually a powerful synthetic elastomer compound made up of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) to inherit the strengths of both sheet rubber materials. The result is a reliable and resilient neoprene with a sleek, black finish. Thanks to this mix of synthetic rubbers, the neoprene sheet has a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. This vulcanized neoprene has excellent abrasion resistance and works great in industrial and commercial applications. This solid neoprene has a wide range of resistance thanks to the unique sheet rubber compound that makes it up. The neoprene rubber has moderate resistance to substances that can easily degrade other kinds of rubber material. Acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals are no match for this tough neoprene sheet, which also has great outdoor abilities. This neoprene rubber is highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects without showing wear for a long time. Though other sheet rubber products may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, only neoprene rubber offers this diverse cumulation of resistance. Our neoprene product offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. Sheet neoprene is favored in industrial applications for its intense temperature range and resistance. High temperatures caused by friction and industrial machinery are no match for this thin neoprene, which performs in temperatures from -20F to 212F. Our hard sheet rubber is available in 10 different gauges to ensure the proper fit for any desired application. This 1/8-inch neoprene is one of the thinner options available and works best in detailed or delicate applications. Different applications may also require varying levels of neoprene hardness. This rubber neoprene has a durometer of 70A to give it a very hard surface with minimal flexibility. The 70-durometer neoprene is stiff and works best in highly abrasive applications such as neoprene lining or pads. The thin rubber sheets can also be cut down and used to make neoprene seals and gaskets. This versatile sheet neoprene is the perfect material for high-stress applications of any kind.
