Compliance
- ASTM D2000: 1BC810 — Compliant
- Heavy-duty window setting blocks and glazing isolation pads requiring maximum firmness and load resistance
- Protective pads and isolation mounting components where minimal material deflection under load is critical
- Shock absorption and vibration damping in industrial equipment demanding firm dimensional stability
- Disparate metals isolation and insulation in structural assemblies requiring a stiff, dense elastomer
- Adhesive-backed applications requiring a firm, high-density neoprene substrate
Common industries: Glazing / architectural glass, construction, industrial equipment, glass handling, general manufacturing.
80 Durometer Industrial Grade Solid Neoprene is the firmest grade in the industrial neoprene series at 80 Shore A, designed for applications demanding maximum resistance to deformation under compressive load.
With a specific gravity of 1.46 gr/cc — the highest in the series — it provides a dense, rigid profile suited for heavy-duty window setting blocks, load-bearing isolation pads, protective pads, and disparate metals isolation assemblies where minimal material deflection is required. Good resistance to flame, abrasion, and flex cracking and natural aging resistance to alkalis and acids support its use in demanding industrial environments.
Material is within Commercial Sheet Rubber Tolerances.
At 100% min. ultimate elongation, this grade is significantly less extensible than softer grades, consistent with its firm compound structure. The grade exhibits limited resistance to ozone and weather. Heat aging performance at 212°F for 70 hours is characterized by hardness change of ±15 points max., tensile strength change of ±30% max., and elongation change of -50% max. Oil aging volume change is 120% max. after 70 hours @ 212°F per ASTM D471.
Compliant with ASTM D2000: 1BC810.
What differentiates 80 Durometer Industrial Grade Solid Neoprene from softer grades in this series?
80 Durometer Industrial Grade Solid Neoprene is the firmest grade in the industrial neoprene series at 80 Shore A, with the highest specific gravity (1.46 gr/cc) in the lineup. This combination of maximum hardness and high density makes it the appropriate selection for load-bearing setting blocks and isolation pads where the material must resist permanent deformation under heavy, sustained compressive load.
Why is compression set an important consideration for solid neoprene elastomers?
Compression set measures how well an elastomer recovers its original thickness after sustained compression. In isolation pads and setting blocks, high compression set means the material permanently flattens over time, losing its ability to absorb vibration and provide consistent load distribution. 80 Durometer Industrial Grade Solid Neoprene is rated at 80% max. compression set (22 hours @ 212°F per ASTM D395B), which is appropriate for industrial elastomer applications operating within the stated temperature range.
What is the temperature range for 80 Durometer Industrial Grade Solid Neoprene?
80 Durometer Industrial Grade Solid Neoprene is rated for service from -20°F to 190°F, as listed on the TDS.
Is 80 Durometer Industrial Grade Solid Neoprene suitable for specification-controlled environments?
Yes. This material meets ASTM D2000: 1BC810, as stated on the TDS. Note that ozone and weather resistance are listed as limited, which should be evaluated for prolonged outdoor or UV-exposed applications.
How should 80 Durometer Industrial Grade Solid Neoprene be specified?
Specify grade (80 Durometer Industrial Grade Solid Neoprene), thickness, compliance requirements (ASTM D2000: 1BC810), dimensional tolerances, and finished format.
