Small Parts 5NEO70-0250-12-12 Neoprene Sheet, 70A, Black, 0.25 in

For flange gasketing that needs a firm sheet material with resistance to oil and abrasion, this black Small Parts neoprene sheet is made for demanding industrial applications. Its 70A durometer gives you a clearly defined hardness grade when choosing material for a gasket. The sheet measures 12" x 12" and is 0.25" thick.

The essentials

Neoprene is used here for a practical reason: it combines oil and abrasion resistance with excellent recovery after compression. Those properties make this sheet suited to flange gaskets, including applications where a gasket is compressed between flanges under high bolt load. Its industrial grade and stated resistance to tearing support use in tasks where the material needs to stand up to repeated mechanical demands.

For a maintenance job, the square sheet gives you a defined piece of material to cut into a gasket for the flange you are working on. In wet, oily or abrasive settings, neoprene’s documented resistance helps make it a relevant material choice, while its recovery from compression is useful when the gasket is clamped in place. The material is also described for applications involving thermal cycling.

Size & fit

The sheet is square, with a 12" width and 12" length, and has a thickness of 0.25". These dimensions provide a straightforward starting point for laying out and cutting a gasket to suit the flange. The 70A durometer identifies the material’s hardness: a higher durometer means a harder, stiffer sheet. Compared with a softer neoprene grade, 70A is the choice to consider when the application calls for a firmer material rather than maximum pliability.

Tips for day-to-day use

Plan the gasket outline around the flange and its openings, then cut the sheet to the shape required for the application. The product is described as primarily intended for flange gaskets, so that is the most direct use for its combination of thickness, hardness and compression recovery. Its oil and abrasion resistance also makes it relevant to industrial work where those conditions are present. Match the 12" x 12" sheet size and 0.25" thickness to the dimensions needed for your task before cutting.

Before you decide

What are the sheet dimensions? It is a square sheet measuring 12" x 12", with a thickness of 0.25".

What does 70A tell me? It is the neoprene’s durometer, a measure of hardness. Higher durometer ratings indicate a harder, stiffer material, softer neoprene grades are more pliable.

What is this sheet used for? Its primary stated application is flange gasketing. Oil and abrasion resistance, along with recovery after compression, are useful properties for that role.

Final verdict

Choose this sheet when your project calls for black, industrial-grade neoprene in a firm 70A grade, with a 0.25" thickness and a 12" x 12" cutting area. Its combination of oil and abrasion resistance and compression recovery makes it a focused option for preparing flange gaskets and other demanding applications suited to neoprene.
