Rubber-Cal Neoprene Sheet - 60A Durometer - Smooth Finish - No Backing, 0.375" Thick x 4" Width x 36" Length - Black

Rubber-Cal’s Neoprene elastomer 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 rubber neoprene met the increasing demand for a sheet rubber that could resist chemicals and outdoor conditions. While other synthetic rubbers may degrade quickly under intense physical conditions, this vulcanized neoprene is designed to endure. Our rubber neoprene is actually a powerful synthetic rubber compound made up of SBR rubber and chloroprene rubber to inherit the strengths of both synthetic elastomers. This mix of rubber materials gives the sheet neoprene a moderate resistance to oils, chemicals, and many damaging effects of weather. The sleek black neoprene has a smooth and solid consistency, adding a professional aesthetic to this highly resistant rubber sheeting. The key feature of this neoprene sheet is its wide range of resistance. Thanks to the unique neoprene rubber compound that makes it up, Rubber Cal’s solid neoprene has moderate resistance to acetic acids, petroleum-based solvents, and certain oils and chemicals. This rubber neoprene is designed to stand up to these substances that can easily degrade other rubber materials. This sheet neoprene 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 rubber types may have stronger resistance to some of these conditions, no other material offers the diverse cumulation of resistance that this sheet neoprene does. Our resilient neoprene offers excellent all-around resistance, making it versatile enough for indoor and outdoor applications alike. Neoprene sheeting is also valued for its intense temperature range and resistance. This hard 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 sheet, which is available in 10 different gauges to ensure the proper fit for any application. This 3/8” neoprene is one of the thicker options available and works best in high-stress physical applications. Different applications may also require varying levels of neoprene shore hardness. This thick sheet rubber has a durometer of 60 shore A, 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 bumpers or pads. The hard rubber sheets can also be cut down and used to make neoprene lining, seals, and gaskets. This versatile neoprene rubber is the perfect material for countless industrial, commercial, and even residential applications.

This versatile neoprene compound is a mix of Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) and Neoprene. Offers moderate resistance to some oils, chemicals, abrasions, and weathering effects. Performs well in temperatures from -20°-212° F, making it great for industrial applications. The 60A durometer gives this hard rubber material a firm surface with moderate pliability. 3/8” is one of the thicker options of 10 available gauges and works best in detailed applications.
