General Purpose Rubber - 50A - Smooth Finish - Adhesive Backed - 0.187" T x 4" W x 36" L - Black

Rubber-Cal’s General Purpose Rubber is a durable and affordable rubber sheeting that can be used for a vast number of applications. Made from tough and reliable styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), this synthetic rubber compound has a durometer of 50A to give it a firm surface with a fair amount of pliability. The sheets of rubber are still tough enough to resist most indentations without sacrificing their flexible nature. The soft elastic rubber has been through a chemical heating process called vulcanization, increasing its durability and giving it a smooth and solid finish. SBR synthetic rubber is best known for its high abrasion resistance, making it a great material for industrial, commercial, and residential applications alike.
Artificial rubbers like SBR material are tougher and longer lasting than alternatives. This this rubber sheeting has excellent resistance to most physical conditions, including abrasions, moisture, and UV light. This makes the rubber materials great for applications both indoors and outdoors, as the synthetic rubber can withstand the damaging effects of weather. In addition to its intense durability, this waterproof rubber sheet has a working temperature range from -10° F to 190° F, so it can withstand the conditions of most industrial settings without showing any wear for a long time. The heat and friction of industrial machinery is no match for this sheet rubber material; synthetic elastomers are specially designed to handle extreme conditions.
A few key uses of synthetic rubber are its natural abilities to enhance traction, absorb shock, and reduce noise. Such qualities make these thin rubber sheets an excellent material for protective bumpers or pads. The large rubber sheets absorb any vibrations to reduce sound and movement for a safe and solid elastomer surface. This 3/16” rubber sheet is the middle size available of five gauges that range from 1/16” to 3/8”. These flexible rubber sheets can be used for countless applications, from keeping abrasive equipment in place to making industrial seals and gaskets. This versatile elastomer rubber sheet comes with pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing for easy DIY installation in any application. Our General Purpose Rubber withstands even the toughest conditions, making it ideal for high-stress applications.
