Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene sheeting is a tough synthetic elastomer that is ideal for industrial applications. Introduced by the DuPont Company in the 1930s, neoprene rubber is a versatile material designed to meet the demand for a chemical and outdoor resistant sheet rubber material. While other synthetic rubbers may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this vulcanized neoprene is designed to endure. Our neoprene sheet is actually a powerful artificial rubber compound made up of SBR rubber and chloroprene rubber to inherit the strengths of both rubber materials. The result is a reliable and resilient neoprene with a sleek, black finish. Thanks to this mix of sheet rubber materials, the neoprene rubber has a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. This sheet neoprene has excellent abrasion resistance and works great in industrial and commercial applications. The key feature of this durable neoprene is its wide range of resistance. Thanks to the unique neoprene blend that makes it up, Rubber Cal’s neoprene sheet 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 synthetic rubber materials. This rubber neoprene is also highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects. Though other rubber materials may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other elastomer offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that this hard neoprene does. Our neoprene sheet offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. The rubber neoprene 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
1/8-in is a thinner option of 7 available gauges and works best in delicate applications
