That is exactly the brand name that Home Depot sells. I have 4 sheets of it sitting in our lab. Its not very thick at all but extremely flexible.

Also just wondering, does anyone else notice that after running the new wheels on this stuff after a while the floor and wheels start to wear (also they start to smell)? I getting white dust off my wheels only after running them back and forth after a while. Maybe we need to break them in first.
