Neoprene Rubber Specifications



Neoprene Rubber material is effectively used in many applications. There are several properties for neoprene rubber. Some of the most important specifications of the rubber are,
             Durometer
             Thickness
             Width
             Tensile strength
             Temperature Range
             Elongation percentage


Here is some of the polymer specifications mentioned below.

Commercial Neoprene Style 10

The Durometer Hardness shore of the rubber material is about 40 with about 1/16-1 inches of thickness. The width of the neoprene is 36,48. The corresponding tensile strength of the rubber material is about 800 PSI. The rubber product made out of this rubber can withstand under a temperature range of about -20°F to +170°F. Likewise the specifications differ.

Matte finished Neoprene – Style 12

To illustrate this neoprene style, the durometer hardness shore is about 50 and thickness of the rubber is about 1/16 – 1/4 . Corresponding width and tensile strength is 36 inches and 800 PSI. The rubber can withstand a temperature range of -20°F to +170°F. 

Mid-Grade Neoprene

The Mid-Grade Neoprene Rubber has the resistant capacity towards weathering and moderately resistant to oil and gasoline. To illustrate the specification of this type rubber, if the durometer hardness shore is say 60, then thickness of the rubber is 1/64 to 1/2 with a tensile strength of 1050 PSI and withstand a temperature is about -30°F to +200°F.
