Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene sheet rubber is a tough synthetic rubber material that is ideal for industrial applications. Sometimes referred to by its chemical name chloroprene, neoprene is a versatile material developed by DuPont in the 1930s. The introduction of neoprene rubber met the increasing demand for a sheet rubber material that could resist chemicals and outdoor conditions. While other rubber materials may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this vulcanized neoprene is designed to endure. Our neoprene rubber is actually a powerful compound made up of SBR rubber and chloroprene rubber to inherit the strengths of both synthetic elastomers. This mix of synthetic rubbers gives the elastomer sheeting a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The solid rubber has a smooth black finish, adding a professional aesthetic to this highly resistant neoprene sheet.The key feature of this neoprene rubber is its wide range of resistance. Thanks to the unique neoprene blend that makes it up, Rubber Cal’s sheet rubber has moderate resistance to acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals. This rubber neoprene is designed to stand up to these substances that can easily degrade other types of synthetic rubber. This sheet neoprene is also highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects. Though other rubber materials may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other material offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that this resilient neoprene does. This sheet neoprene is backed with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to skip costly installation and instead turn it into an easy DIY project. Our neoprene material offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike.
