Why Does the "Grade" of a Neoprene Rubber Sheet Matter?

Did you know that selecting a neoprene rubber sheet of the right grade will give you improved performance? Wondering why the last expert you were talking to was suggesting which grade to use? What happens when you don't listen to the suggestion? You can often find terms like "General purpose" , "industrial grade" , and "specialized grade" . What do they mean? Neoprene Rubber Sheet Grades: What is Their Significance? Tensile Strength The tensile strength of a neoprene rubber sheet ranges between 4 and 17 MPa. General-purpose neoprene rubber sheeting has low tensile strength. On the other hand, industrial grade has higher tensile strength, and specialized grade neoprene rubber sheet has the highest tensile strength. Elongation at Break A neoprene sheet has elongation at break ranging from 200 to 500%. General-purpose sheets have lower elongation at break than industrial-grade sheets. Whereas, a specialized neoprene rubber sheet has the highest value of...
