Rubber-Cal Neoprene 1/8-in T x 12-in W x 36-in L Black Commercial 50A Durometer Rubber Sheet
Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene rubber is a tough elastomer sheet that is ideal for industrial applications. Rubber neoprene, also called by its chemical name chloroprene, was developed by DuPont in the 1930s to meet the demand for a sheet rubber product with chemical resistance. While other synthetic rubber materials may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this sheet neoprene is designed to endure. Our industrial neoprene is actually a synthetic rubber compound, made with a 10% neoprene rubber base and a blend of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) to give it the strength of both rubber materials. This mix of synthetic elastomers gives the rubber neoprene moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The result is a smooth and solid neoprene sheet that is highly desired for commercial and industrial applications. The unique blend of SBR rubber and neoprene elastomers that makes up Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene sheet gives it great resistance to many substances that can easily degrade other kinds of rubber material. The rubber neoprene holds up against acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals without showing wear for a long time. Neoprene rubber 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 rubber neoprene does. Our solid rubber sheets offer excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. Another key feature of this neoprene blend is its intense temperature range and resistance. The sheet neoprene performs well in temperatures from -20F to 212F, which makes it the ideal choice for most industrial applications. No need to worry about high temperatures or industrial machinery damaging the neoprene material; this 1/8-inch sheet rubber is one of the thinner options available and works best for delicate or detailed applications. Our neoprene rubber comes in 10 different gauges to ensure the proper fit for any desired application. Different applications may also require varying levels of neoprene hardness. This thin rubber sheeting has a durometer of 50A, giving it a firm surface while allowing a reasonable amount of flexibility. The 50A durometer neoprene is strong yet pliable, making it versatile enough for any application from insulation to industrial gasketing. This thin neoprene is the ideal industrial elastomer sheeting.
