Rubber-Cal Neoprene Sheet - 50A Durometer - Smooth Finish - Adhesive Backing - 0.032" Thick x 12" Width x 24" Length - Black

Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene sheet rubber is a tough rubber material that is ideal for industrial applications. Neoprene rubber, also called by its chemical name chloroprene rubber, was developed by DuPont in the 1930s to meet the demand for a synthetic rubber with chemical resistance. While other sheet rubbers may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this neoprene rubber is designed to endure. Our sheet neoprene is actually a compound, made with a 10% rubber neoprene base and a blend of styrene butadiene rubber and chloroprene to give it the strength of both synthetic elastomers. This mix of synthetic rubber materials gives the neoprene sheet moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The result is a smooth and solid vulcanized neoprene that is highly desired for commercial and industrial applications. The unique mix of SBR and neoprene elastomer that makes up Rubber-Cal’s neoprene rubber gives it great resistance to many substances that can easily degrade other types of synthetic rubber. The sheet neoprene holds up against acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals without showing wear for a long time. This rubber neoprene 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 solid 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 adhesive-backed neoprene offers excellent all-around resistance, making these flexible rubber sheets versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. Another key feature of this rubber neoprene is its intense temperature range and resistance. The sheet neoprene performs well in temperatures from -20° to 212° F, which makes it the ideal choice for most industrial applications. No need to worry about high temperatures or heavy abrasions damaging the thin rubber sheets; this 1/32" neoprene is the thinnest option available and is excellent for detailed industrial applications such as neoprene lining, gaskets, and seals. These self-adhesive neoprene sheets come in 6 different gauges to ensure the proper fit for any desired application. Different applications may also require varying levels of neoprene rubber hardness. This soft neoprene has a durometer of 50A, giving it a firm surface while allowing a reasonable amount of flexibility. The 50-durometer neoprene is strong yet pliable, making it versatile enough for any application from insulation to industrial gasketing. This flexible neoprene is the ideal industrial sheet rubber product.
