Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene sheeting is a tough synthetic rubber that is ideal for industrial applications. Neoprene rubber, also called by its chemical name chloroprene, was developed by DuPont in the 1930s to meet the demand for a synthetic elastomer with chemical resistance. While other rubber materials may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this neoprene sheet is designed to endure. Our industrial neoprene is actually an artificial rubber compound, made with a 10% rubber neoprene base and a blend of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) to give it the strength of both synthetic rubber materials. This mix of synthetic rubbers gives the sheet neoprene moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The result is a smooth and solid black rubber sheeting that is highly desired for commercial and 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 50A durometer gives this soft rubber material a firm surface with excellent pliability
3/16-in is a slightly thinner option of 10 available gauges and works best in detailed applications
