Description
Black Rubber Sheet — 2mm Thick
A solid, general-purpose black rubber sheet manufactured from an NR/SBR (Natural Rubber / Styrene Butadiene Rubber) compound. At 2mm thick, this sheet delivers a reliable combination of flexibility, impact resistance, and durability — making it the go-to material for sealing, cushioning, matting, insulation, and fabrication tasks across domestic, trade, and light industrial settings. Available in a range of standard cut sizes, each sheet is ready to use straight from the pack and can be trimmed further with scissors or a craft knife.
Available Sizes
Larger sizes are available on request. Select your preferred size from the option menu above.

Typical Applications
Usage Notes
* This material is not recommended for exposure to petrol, solvents, or extended UV / sunlight.
* Ensure the application surface is clean, dry, and free from oil or grease before bonding.
* Due to the nature of this product, a small tolerance in both size and thickness is inherent — refer to the tolerance table above.
* The figures stated are average values. We recommend verifying suitability for your specific application before use.
Frequently Asked Questions
What rubber compound is this sheet made from?
It is manufactured from an NR/SBR (Natural Rubber / Styrene Butadiene Rubber) compound — a robust, general-purpose material suited to a wide range of sealing, cushioning, and matting applications.
Can I cut this sheet to a custom shape or size?
Yes. The sheet cuts cleanly with a pair of scissors or a craft knife, making it straightforward to trim to any shape or dimension you need.
What is the hardness and what does that mean in practice?
The hardness is 65 Shore A (−4/+5 tolerance). This sits in the medium-firm range — firm enough to resist compression under load, yet flexible enough to conform to surfaces and absorb impact.
Is this sheet suitable for outdoor use?
It can be used outdoors in sheltered conditions, but prolonged direct exposure to UV light, sunlight, ozone, or solvents is not recommended as these will degrade the material over time.
How do I bond the sheet to a surface?
Use a general-purpose contact adhesive. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from oil or grease before application for a reliable bond.
Are larger sizes available?
Yes — sizes beyond those listed are available on request. Please get in touch with your requirements and we will advise on availability.
