Rubber-Cal Neoprene Sheet - 60A Durometer - Smooth Finish - Adhesive Backing - 0.062" Thick x 12" Width x 12" Length - Black

Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene elastomer is a tough synthetic rubber sheeting that is ideal for industrial applications. Sometimes referred to by its chemical name chloroprene, neoprene rubber 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 rubbers may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this industrial neoprene is designed to endure. Our sheet neoprene is actually a powerful compound made up of styrene butadiene rubber and chloroprene rubber to inherit the strengths of both synthetic elastomers. This mix of rubber materials gives the sheet neoprene a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The solid rubber sheets have a smooth black finish, adding a professional aesthetic to this highly resistant neoprene rubber. The key feature of this neoprene material 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 neoprene rubber is designed to stand up to these substances that can easily degrade other synthetic rubber types. This rubber 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 this resilient neoprene does. This sheet neoprene is backed with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to skip costly installation and instead turn it into an easy DIY project. Our neoprene rubber offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. Rubber neoprene is also valued for its intense temperature range and resistance. This vulcanized neoprene performs well in temperatures from -20° to 212° F, which makes it the ideal choice for most industrial applications. High temperatures and industrial machinery are no match for this tough neoprene sheet, which is available in four different gauges to ensure the proper fit for any application. This 1/16” neoprene is a thinner option and works best in delicate applications. Different applications may also require varying levels of neoprene rubber hardness. This thin sheet rubber has a durometer of 60A, giving it a hard surface and a moderate amount of flexibility. The 60-durometer neoprene is stiff yet pliable, and works best in highly abrasive applications such as neoprene bumpers or pads. The hard sheet rubber can also be cut down and used to make neoprene rubber gaskets, liners, and seals. This versatile rubber neoprene is the perfect material for countless industrial, commercial, and even residential applications.
