Rubber-Cal Neoprene 1/2-in T x 24-in W x 36-in L Black Commercial 60A durometer Rubber Sheet

Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene elastomer is a tough synthetic rubber that is ideal for industrial applications. Sometimes referred to by its chemical name chloroprene, rubber neoprene is a versatile material developed by DuPont in the 1930s. The introduction of neoprene material met the increasing demand for a sheet rubber that could resist chemicals and outdoor conditions. While other rubber materials may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this solid neoprene is designed to endure. Our sheet neoprene is actually a powerful synthetic rubber compound made up of SBR and chloroprene rubber (CR) to inherit the strengths of both synthetic elastomers. This mix of synthetic rubber materials gives the rubber neoprene a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The sleek black rubber sheeting has a smooth and solid consistency, adding a professional aesthetic to this highly resistant neoprene rubber.The key feature of this neoprene sheet is its wide range of resistance. Thanks to the unique artificial 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 neoprene sheet 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 without showing wear for a long time. Though other types of synthetic rubber may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other material offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that this rubber neoprene does. The thick rubber sheets can also be cut down and used to make neoprene seals, liners, and gaskets. This versatile sheet neoprene is the perfect material for countless industrial, commercial, and even residential applications.
