Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene sheets are a tough synthetic rubber material that is ideal for industrial applications. Introduced by the DuPont Company in the 1930s, chloroprene (neoprene)is a versatile material designed to meet the demand for a chemical and outdoor resistant sheet rubber. While other synthetic rubbers may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this sheet neoprene is designed to endure. Our industrial neoprene is actually a powerful synthetic elastomer compound made up of styrene butadiene rubber and chloroprene rubber to inherit the strengths of both sheet rubber materials. The result is a reliable and durable neoprene with a sleek, black finish. Thanks to this mix of rubber materials, the neoprene sheet has a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. This neoprene sheet has excellent abrasion resistance and works great in industrial and commercial applications.The key feature of this hard neoprene is its wide range of resistance. Thanks to the unique synthetic 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 rubber neoprene is designed to stand up to these substances that can easily degrade other types of synthetic rubber. This thin 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 kinds of elastomer sheeting may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other rubber offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that this solid neoprene does. Our neoprene rubber offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. The neoprene rubber performs well in temperatures from -20° to 212° F, which makes it the ideal choice for most industrial applications.
This versatile neoprene compound is a mix of Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) and Neoprene
Offers moderate resistance to some oils, chemicals, abrasions, and weathering effects
Performs well in temperatures from -20°-212° F, making it great for industrial applications
The 80A durometer gives this hard rubber material a stiff surface with extremely low pliability
3/32-in is a thinner option of 7 available gauges and works best in delicate applications
