Our styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) is actually a mild compound blended with natural rubbers to give the rubber sheet both the high tensile strength of natural rubber and the superior resistance qualities of synthetic rubber materials.
The result is a reliable solid rubber with a sleek, black finish. Our sheet neoprene is actually a powerful synthetic elastomer compound made up of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and chloroprene rubber (CR) to inherit the strengths of both synthetic rubber materials.
This sheet neoprene is the ideal industrial rubber material. The neoprene rubber performs well in temperatures from -20° to 212° F, which makes it the ideal choice for most industrial applications. Rubber neoprene, also called by its chemical name chloroprene rubber (CR), was developed by DuPont in the 1930s to meet the demand for a rubber material with chemical resistance.
