Rubber-Cal Neoprene Sheet - 60A Durometer - Smooth Finish - No Backing, 0.125" Thick x 12" Width x 36" Length - Black

Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene rubber is a tough synthetic rubber material 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 neoprene elastomer met the increasing demand for a sheet rubber that could resist chemicals and outdoor conditions. While other sheet rubber materials may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this rubber neoprene is designed to endure. Our rubber neoprene is actually a powerful synthetic rubber compound made up of styrene butadiene rubber and chloroprene rubber (CR) to inherit the strengths of both synthetic elastomers. This mix of rubber materials gives the neoprene sheet a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The vulcanized neoprene has a solid consistency and sleek black finish, adding a professional aesthetic to this highly resistant elastomer sheeting. The key feature of this sheet neoprene is its wide range of resistance. Thanks to the unique neoprene blend that makes it up, Rubber Cal’s neoprene rubber has moderate resistance to acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals. This sheet neoprene is designed to stand up to these substances that can easily degrade other synthetic rubber types. This neoprene rubber is also highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects without showing wear for a long time. Though other synthetic rubbers may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other material offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that this neoprene material does. Our sheet neoprene offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. Industrial neoprene is also valued for its intense temperature range and resistance. This thin 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 rubber, which is available in 10 different gauges to ensure the proper fit for any application. This 1/8” neoprene is one of the thinner options available and works best in highly detailed or delicate applications. Different applications may also require varying levels of neoprene durometer. This hard 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 pads or bumpers. The elastomer sheets can also be cut down and used to make neoprene rubber gaskets, liners, and seals. This versatile neoprene sheet is the perfect material for countless industrial, commercial, and even residential applications.
