1mm Black Rubber Sheeting
A commercial-grade solid rubber sheet manufactured from a Natural Rubber and Styrene Butadiene Rubber (NR/SBR) blend. Supplied in a range of standard sizes, this 1mm thick black rubber sheeting is the go-to material for gaskets, protective matting, sound dampening, sealing, and general-purpose fabrication — in both trade and domestic settings.
This 1mm black rubber sheet delivers a reliable combination of flexibility, resilience, and ease of use. Its plate finish surface provides a clean, consistent appearance, while the NR/SBR compound ensures dependable performance across a wide range of everyday applications. Whether you need a custom-cut gasket, a protective liner, or a sound-dampening layer, this sheeting can be trimmed to size with nothing more than a pair of scissors or a craft knife.
Available in familiar paper-format sizes as well as square mat dimensions, these sheets are straightforward to order, handle, and install — making them a practical choice for engineers, tradespeople, and DIY enthusiasts alike.

* This rubber material is not recommended for exposure to petrol, solvents, or prolonged direct UV and sunlight.
* Not suitable for food contact applications.
* Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free from oil or grease before bonding.
* Due to the nature of this material, a small tolerance in both size and thickness should be expected — refer to the tolerance table above.
* The specification values stated are average figures. We recommend verifying suitability for your specific application before use.
What sizes are available?
These sheets are available in A4 (210 x 297mm), A3 (297 x 420mm), A2 (420 x 594mm), 300 x 300mm, and 450 x 450mm. Larger bespoke sizes are available on request.
Can I cut this rubber sheet to a custom shape or size?
Yes. At 1mm thick, this sheeting cuts cleanly with a pair of scissors or a craft knife, making it straightforward to trim to any shape or dimension you need.
How do I fix the rubber sheet to a surface?
The sheet bonds reliably to most hard surfaces using a general-purpose contact adhesive. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and grease-free before application for the best result.
What is the hardness and how flexible is it?
The rubber has an indentation hardness of 65 Shore A (tolerance -4/+5). This gives a firm yet flexible feel — it holds its shape under load while remaining easy to bend, cut, and handle.
Is this sheet suitable for outdoor use?
It performs well in sheltered outdoor environments. Prolonged direct exposure to UV light, sunlight, petrol, or solvents is not recommended, as these can degrade the material over time.
What temperature range can this rubber withstand?
This sheeting operates reliably between -30°C and +70°C, making it suitable for most indoor industrial, commercial, and domestic environments.
