Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene rubber sheeting is a tough synthetic elastomer that is ideal for industrial applications. Industrial neoprene, also called by its chemical name chloroprene rubber (CR), was developed by DuPont in the 1930s to meet the demand for a sheet rubber with chemical resistance. While other types of synthetic rubber may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this neoprene rubber is designed to endure. Our sheet neoprene is actually a compound, made with a 10% neoprene material base and a blend of styrene butadiene rubber and chloroprene rubber to give it the strength of both synthetic rubbers. This mix of rubber materials gives the neoprene sheet moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The result is a smooth and solid black neoprene that is highly desired for commercial and industrial applications.The unique mix of SBR rubber and neoprene elastomers that makes up Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene rubber gives it great resistance to many substances that can easily degrade other synthetic rubber materials. The neoprene rubber holds up against acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals without showing wear for a long time. This sheet neoprene is also highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects. Though other sheet rubber materials may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other material offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that rubber neoprene does. This sheet rubber is backed with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to skip costly installation and instead turn it into an easy DIY project. Our neoprene sheet offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. The flexible neoprene performs well in temperatures from -20° to 212° F, which makes it the ideal choice for most industrial applications.
