Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene sheet 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 rubber material with chemical resistance. While other rubber sheets may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, these neoprene sheets are designed to endure. Our solid neoprene is actually a synthetic rubber 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 elastomers. This mix of rubber materials gives the neoprene sheets 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.The unique mix of SBR and rubber chloroprene that makes up Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene rubber gives it great resistance to many substances that can easily degrade other synthetic rubbers. The neoprene sheet holds up against acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals without showing wear for a long time. Rubber neoprene is also highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects. Though other synthetic rubber materials may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other material offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that neoprene rubber does. Our sheet neoprene offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. The sheet neoprene performs well in temperatures from -20° to 212° F, which makes it the ideal choice for most industrial applications. No need to worry about high temperatures or heavy abrasions damaging the elastomer sheeting; this 3/8" neoprene is one of the thicker options available and works best in high-stress physical applications.
