Neoprene Sheet - 80A - Smooth Finish - No Backing - 0.187" Thick x 36" Width x 60" Length - Black

Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene rubber is a tough elastomer sheeting that is ideal for industrial applications. Introduced by the DuPont Company in the 1930s, neoprene sheeting is a versatile material designed to meet the demand for a chemical and outdoor resistant synthetic rubber. While other rubber materials may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this durable neoprene is designed to endure. Our rubber neoprene is actually a powerful synthetic rubber compound made up of styrene butadiene rubber and chloroprene rubber to inherit the strengths of both synthetic rubbers. The result is a reliable and resilient sheet neoprene with a sleek, black finish. Thanks to this mix of rubber materials, the solid neoprene has a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. This neoprene material has excellent abrasion resistance and works great in industrial and commercial applications.
The key feature of this rubber neoprene is its wide range of resistance. Thanks to the unique neoprene elastomer compound that makes it up, Rubber Cal’s industrial neoprene 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 heavy-duty neoprene is also highly valued in outdoor applications, as it can withstand UV rays, ozone, and damaging weather effects. Though other rubber materials may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other elastomer offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that this neoprene rubber does. Our neoprene sheet offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike.
Another key feature of this thin neoprene is its intense temperature range and resistance. The neoprene sheet 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 sheet rubber material; this 3/16” neoprene is one of the thicker options available and works best in high-stress physical applications. Our hard neoprene comes in several different gauges, lengths, and widths to ensure the proper fit for any desired application. Different applications may also require varying levels of neoprene hardness. This neoprene sheet has a durometer of 80A to give it a stiff and hard surface with extremely limited flexibility. The 80-durometer neoprene is heavy-duty and works best in highly abrasive applications such as neoprene lining or pads. The thin rubber sheets can also be cut down and used to make neoprene seals, strips, and gaskets. This versatile rubber neoprene is the perfect material for high-stress applications of any kind.
