Product Overview
70 Durometer Commercial Grade Solid Neoprene — Technical Overview & FAQs
Product Overview
This 70 durometer commercial-grade solid neoprene (polychloroprene, CR) sheet rubber is engineered to deliver robust mechanical durability, environmental resistance, and consistent performance across industrial and general-purpose sealing applications. With its medium-hard Shore A 70 rating, it balances firmness and flexibility, making it ideal for gaskets, protective pads, isolation mounts, and vibration-damping components. The smooth, powder-free finish provides excellent convertibility for die-cutting, laminating, and adhesive applications.
Applications
Gasket sheets for machines, enclosures, and covers
Isolation and spacing washers, shock-absorbers, and bumpers
Window setting blocks, glass-rack bases, and protective pads
Vibration-damping mounts in transportation or industrial systems
Adhesive-backed strips for mounting and spacing in general-purpose equipment

FAQs
What is 70 Durometer commercial solid neoprene used for?
This solid neoprene material with a 70A hardness is used where a firm yet resilient rubber sheet is needed — for gaskets, pads, isolation blocks, and vibration-damping components in industrial, transportation or general-purpose equipment.
Why choose the 70A hardness grade?
At about Shore A 70, this material offers the right balance of firmness for load-bearing and dimensional stability with enough flexibility to conform to surfaces and maintain sealing integrity under compression.
What temperature extremes can this material handle?
Typical service temperatures span from roughly –30 °F to +200 °F (–34 °C to 93 °C). It remains stable under these conditions and retains mechanical integrity.
Is this neoprene suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?
Yes — it offers good resistance to ozone, sunlight, and weathering. While it provides moderate oil and petroleum-based fluid resistance, for highly aggressive media please evaluate suitability.
Can this material be fabricated into custom shapes or adhesive-backed parts?
Yes — sheets, rolls and die-cut shapes are available, and adhesive-backing options can be laminated for mounted gasket or pad assemblies.
