Rubber-Cal Neoprene Sheet - 70A Durometer - Smooth Finish - No Backing - 0.187" Thick x 36" Width x 36" Length - Black

Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene rubber material is a tough synthetic elastomer that is ideal for industrial applications. Introduced by the DuPont Company in the 1930s, rubber neoprene is a versatile material designed to meet the demand for a chemical and outdoor resistant synthetic rubber. While other types of synthetic rubber may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this industrial neoprene is designed to endure. Our sheet neoprene is actually a powerful neoprene blend made up of SBR elastomer and chloroprene rubber (CR) to inherit the strengths of both synthetic rubber materials. The result is a reliable and solid neoprene with a smooth, black finish. Thanks to this mix of rubber materials, the sheet neoprene has a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. This sleek, black neoprene has excellent abrasion resistance and works great in industrial and commercial applications. This neoprene sheet has a wide range of resistance thanks to the unique artificial rubber compound that makes it up. The rubber neoprene has moderate resistance to substances that can easily degrade other synthetic rubbers. Acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals are no match for this tough neoprene rubber, which also has great outdoor abilities. This neoprene material is 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 rubber materials may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, only rubber neoprene offers this diverse cumulation of resistance. Our sheet neoprene offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. This hard neoprene is favored in industrial applications for its intense temperature range and resistance. High temperatures caused by friction and industrial machinery are no match for this thin sheet rubber, which performs in temperatures from -20° to 212° F. Our sheet neoprene is available in 10 different gauges to ensure the proper fit for any desired application. This 3/16” neoprene is one of the thinner options available and works best in detailed or delicate applications. Different applications may also require varying levels of neoprene rubber hardness. This neoprene sheet has a durometer of 70A to give it a very hard surface with minimal flexibility. The 70-durometer neoprene is stiff and works best in highly abrasive applications such as neoprene lining or pads . The sheet neoprene can also be cut down and used to make neoprene strips, liners, and seals. This versatile neoprene rubber is the perfect material for high-stress applications of any kind.
