Establish 1994
Founded in 1994, Rubber-Cal is a distributor of industrial rubber products. The company provides and inventories a wide range of rubber mats, rubber flooring, sheet rubber, flexible ducting, coir doormats, pavement maintenance parts and other specialty rubber products. Our large inventory and 24-hour fulfillment of stocked products makes us a great partner to agile OEMs and retailers by reducing their need to inventory parts and raw materials. Most of our rubber goods can be purchased in small custom-cut lengths, decreasing both the cost and time of installation and onsite fabrication.

Eco-Conscious Products
Ingrained in our basic philosophy is the mission to offer “Green” products, whenever possible, to industry and consumers alike. Natural, reclaimed and recycled rubbers are not only a practical substitute but also a far more affordable option. Firstly, by using eco-friendly materials like natural and recycled rubber, we help to reduce the presence of non-biodegradable rubber waste in the ecosystem. In the US, there are approximately 245 million tires discarded annually. Our products help reduce the presence of these tires in dumpsites. Secondly, consumers directly benefit from recycled rubber products because they are more affordable than their synthetic counterparts. This has been a distinguishing hallmark that has served Rubber-Cal well over the years. In fact, it is a point of pride for us. Products using eco-friendly recycled rubber, such as our interlocking rubber floor tiles, are very popular with consumers because they offer superior protection and durability at a competitive price.

A greater emphasis has been placed on home exercise and physical fitness than ever before, with gyms doing big business across America. But plenty of people steer clear of the gym for various reasons. Maybe they don’t like the judgment of muscle-bound regulars, want to avoid the monthly fees or just don’t have the time to go out to a public gym. A natural alternative for many people is to create their own home gym, either in a basement or spare bedroom using rubber flooring tiles or rolls.

Rubber flooring can provide the perfect underfloor surface for a home gym, due to its traction, durability and shock absorption qualities; however, each will have different advantages. Rubber tiles are often easier to install, because they are smaller, more manageable and do not always require adhesive. One of the key advantages of rubber tiles is that individual tiles are easier and cheaper to replace when they are damaged. Rubber tiles come in a large variety of thicknesses to provide the grip and padding you need for your workout. On the other hand, rubber tiles are the most customizable flooring option due to their interlocking mechanism. This offers a mobile floor and allows you to keep adding tiles until your have reached your desired size.

When you utilize a roll of rubber flooring in your home gym, it has one key advantage over tiles - the roll will cover a large surface with fewer seams. For one thing, this reduces trip hazards on your gym floor. But more importantly, there are no seams for liquids to permeate through. In a gym setting you may be sweating profusely, or spill a drink, but that won’t matter with the solid surface area of a rubber roll. Additionally, rubber flooring rolls are usually meant for covering wall-to-wall spaces and are able to do so through its customizable length. We custom cut most of our rubber flooring rolls down to the half foot increment. This means you can order rolls that are custom-sized for your spaces. This reduces installation time and costs, and you buy what you need and not the length that is available for sale.

If you are looking to build a playground, the first thing to consider is high-quality playground surfacing. Playgrounds are places where kids are constantly running and jumping around, putting themselves at risk of slip-and-fall accidents and other kinds of play-related injuries. While we cannot stop children from having fun, we can minimize the dangers posed by their activities. Thick, rubber playground surfacing is one of the best ways to protect children from harm while ensuring that they can still be kids.

If you own a childcare facility or any other type of place that cares for children, certainly consider installing rubber playground surfaces under your existing play areas. For example, our “Eco-Safety 3-inch” playground tiles are built to protect children from the impacts of slips and falls. They also meet the 7-feet fall-test requirement that most legal bodies mandate. Their rubber compositions make them highly resistant to moisture and UV-rays, and they greatly enhance traction (even when soaked!).

Additionally, we design our rubber playground tiles to be highly DIY-friendly. They come pre-built with simple, reliable interlocking mechanisms that keep the tiles tightly attached and emplaced. We strongly believe that you should not have to incur additional costs after you have purchased flooring—which is why, for the most part, our products can be installed without any technical expertise. Their straightforward designs and ease of maintenance make these playground mats perfect for anyone looking to build or upgrade a playground.

Like all synthetic rubbers, neoprene is a man-made elastomer produced through polymerization, or the linking together of single molecules to form a compound. Neoprene, which is also often called polychloroprene or chloroprene rubber, actually refers to a family of elastomers that are produced from the polymerization of chloroprene. However, unlike most elastomers, the compound that makes up neoprene can be found in a few different forms: fabric wetsuit neoprene, cellular foam rubber, and solid sheet rubber. In all its forms, neoprene elastomers offer good chemical stability, high flexibility, and a wide working temperature range. Despite this common ground, it is important to understand the differences between wetsuit neoprene vs rubber, as making the wrong choice can prove catastrophic to your project.

While wetsuit neoprene is a highly compressible, fabric-like material, rubber neoprene is instead a durable and resilient general-purpose sealing and gasketing rubber. Solid neoprene is dense and features a non-permeable surface that keeps liquids out. The rubber material is available in a range of durometer (hardness) ratings, all of which demonstrate a much better resistance to abrasions than the compound’s softer form. Neoprene sheeting also has great tensile strength by comparison, allowing the dense rubber to stretch much further than its counterpart would allow. Though it cannot be used to make wetsuits or mousepads like its fabric counterpart, neoprene rubber is incredibly durable and performs well in a wide range of physically demanding applications, such as seals, gaskets, industrial machine parts.

All forms of neoprene offer resistances to oils, greases, and temperatures, but rubber neoprene is undoubtedly the more durable and versatile choice. If ever confused between fabric neoprene vs rubber, remember only the solid elastomer can be used as an alternative to natural rubber. Fabric neoprene is favored for applications such as wetsuits, laptop covers, and mouse pads, but when it comes to more demanding applications, you can never go wrong with neoprene sheet rubber.
