Rubber-Cal Neoprene 1/8-in T x 12-in W x 36-in L Black Commercial 80A durometer Rubber Sheet

Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene sheet rubber is a tough synthetic elastomer that is ideal for industrial applications. Introduced by the DuPont Company in the 1930s, neoprene rubber is a versatile material designed to meet the demand for a chemical and outdoor resistant rubber material. While other synthetic rubbers may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this solid neoprene is designed to endure. Our sheet neoprene is actually a powerful artificial rubber compound made up of styrene butadiene rubber and chloroprene (neoprene) to inherit the strengths of both synthetic rubber materials. The result is a reliable and resilient neoprene sheet with a sleek, black finish. Thanks to this mix of rubber material, the vulcanized neoprene has a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. This sheet neoprene has excellent abrasion resistance and works great in industrial and commercial applications.The key feature of this heavy-duty neoprene is its wide range of resistance. Thanks to the unique neoprene blend 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 rubber is designed to stand up to these substances that can easily degrade other elastomer sheets. This rubber neoprene is also highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects. Though other types of synthetic rubber may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other elastomer offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that this neoprene sheet does. This thick sheet rubber is backed with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to skip costly installation and instead turn it into an easy DIY project. Our self-adhesive neoprene sheets offer excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike.
