Neoprene (Chloroprene) Rubber Sheet
Neoprene is the most balanced general-purpose synthetic elastomer for industrial sealing, lining, and gasketing. It resists oil, steam, water, salts, dilute acids, and alkalis while maintaining outdoor durability that natural rubber and nitrile cannot match. Duratuf neoprene rubber sheets are available in four polymer concentration grades from 10% CR (economical, light duty) to 100% CR (heavy duty, maximum durability). Each grade is produced to defined hardness, tensile, and elongation specifications with observed test values documented per batch.
What is Chloroprene Rubber Sheet?
Neoprene is the industrial and trade name for chloroprene rubber (CR), a synthetic elastomer classified under ASTM D1418 and first developed by DuPont in 1930. In industrial specification, “neoprene” and “chloroprene” refer to the same polymer family. CR is the correct ASTM designation to use in purchase orders and engineering specifications.
Neoprene rubber sheet is manufactured by vulcanising chloroprene polymer compound into flat sheet form. It is the most widely specified general-purpose synthetic elastomer in industrial sealing because it occupies a unique performance middle ground: better oil and chemical resistance than EPDM, better weather and ozone resistance than nitrile (NBR), and higher operating temperature than standard natural rubber.
Duratuf neoprene sheets are available in four polymer concentration levels (10%, 30%, 50%, and 100% CR ) allowing selection by performance requirement and budget. All grades are 65° Shore A hardness (60° for the X grade) and black in colour. Operating range spans -20°C to +110°C depending on grade, suitable for both outdoor cold-climate applications and moderate-heat industrial service.
- Industrial gaskets, seals, and diaphragms
- HVAC system sealing and vibration isolation
- Marine fender linings and dock protection
- Automotive and workshop floor protection

Major Industrial Applications (uses) of Duratuf Chloroprene Rubber Sheets
- Industrial Gaskets & Sealing Systems: Flange gaskets, valve seats, pump seals, and pipe gaskets in water treatment, HVAC, chemical handling, and general industrial plant, where both oil splash and outdoor exposure are present simultaneously.
- Marine & Offshore Applications: Dock fender linings, marine expansion joints, boat deck covering, and hull sealing applications where continuous seawater, UV, and mechanical impact require an elastomer that does not degrade outdoors.
- Automotive & Workshop: Oil splash guards in engine bays, vibration isolation pads under motors and compressors, anti-skid floor matting in workshops and service centers, and undercoating protection sheets.
- Roofing & Infrastructure Sealing: Expansion joint seals, roof flashings, and weatherproof sealing components in construction where ozone and UV resistance are required for long outdoor service life.
- HVAC & Building Services: Duct sealing, vibration isolation pads for HVAC equipment, acoustic damping material, and sealing gaskets in building services plant operating at moderate temperatures.
Key Features of Duratuf Chloroprene (Neoprene Rubber) Sheets
While Duratuf Chloroprene rubber sheets come in a broad profile of products, some of their consolidated key features are:
Good resistance to mineral oils, fuels, and grease; better than EPDM and natural rubber for applications involving oil splash or contact with petroleum-based media.
Chloroprene polymer is inherently resistant to UV radiation, ozone attack, and atmospheric ageing, suitable for outdoor and marine applications where NR and NBR crack and degrade.
Neoprene is inherently flame retardant compared to natural rubber and EPDM, self-extinguishing under standard conditions, making it suitable for applications with fire safety requirements.
Our neoprene rubber sheet can resist the effects of saltwater and UV rays
When you buy Duratuf rubber sheets, you invest in productivity and performance equally.
