Rubber-Cal Neoprene 1/16-in T x 12-in W x 36-in L Black Commercial 50A durometer Rubber Sheet

Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene sheet rubber is a tough synthetic elastomer that is ideal for industrial applications. Rubber neoprene, also called by its chemical name chloroprene, was developed by DuPont in the 1930s to meet the demand for a sheet rubber material with chemical resistance. While other elastomer sheets may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this neoprene rubber is designed to endure. Our neoprene sheeting is actually a compound, made with a 10% rubber neoprene base and a blend of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) to give it the strength of both synthetic rubbers. This mix of rubber materials gives the neoprene material moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The result is a smooth and solid neoprene sheet that is highly desired for commercial and industrial applications.The unique mix of SBR rubber and neoprene rubber that makes up Rubber-Cal’s sheet neoprene gives it great resistance to many substances that can easily degrade other synthetic rubber types. The neoprene rubber holds up against acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals without showing wear for a long time. This sheet neoprene is also highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects. Though other synthetic rubber materials may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other material offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that solid neoprene does. This neoprene sheet is backed with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to skip costly installation and instead turn it into an easy DIY project. Our adhesive neoprene offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike.The thin neoprene performs well in temperatures from -20° to 212° F, which makes it the ideal choice for most industrial applications.
