Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene rubber is a tough sheet rubber material 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 synthetic rubber materials may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this durable neoprene is designed to endure. Our sheet neoprene is actually a powerful neoprene blend made up of styrene butadiene rubber and chloroprene rubber to inherit the strengths of both synthetic elastomers. This mix of synthetic rubbers gives the neoprene sheet a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The hard neoprene has a smooth and solid consistency, adding a professional aesthetic to this highly resistant neoprene sheet.The key feature of this rubber neoprene is its wide range of resistance. Thanks to the unique neoprene elastomer compound that makes it up, Rubber Cal’s neoprene material 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 kinds of rubber material. 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 neoprene rubber 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 sheet offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike.
