Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene rubber is a tough elastomer sheeting 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 rubber neoprene met the increasing demand for a rubber material that could resist chemicals and outdoor conditions. While other types of synthetic rubber may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this solid neoprene is designed to endure. Our neoprene sheeting is actually a powerful synthetic rubber compound made up of SBR and chloroprene rubber to inherit the strengths of both synthetic elastomers. This mix of synthetic rubber materials gives the neoprene sheet a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The sleek black neoprene has a smooth and solid consistency, adding a professional aesthetic to this highly resistant rubber sheeting.The key feature of this rubber neoprene is its wide range of resistance. Thanks to the unique neoprene rubber compound that makes it up, Rubber Cal’s sheet neoprene has moderate resistance to acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals. This industrial neoprene is designed to stand up to these substances that can easily degrade other rubber materials. This rubber neoprene is also highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects. Though other synthetic rubbers may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other material offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that this vulcanized 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 neoprene material offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike.
