Solid Neoprene Rubber Strip - 1.5mm Thick, Various Widths Available - 5/10m Lengths - Door Seal, Weather Strip, Gasket Making (5m x 25mm Wide)

Product Information

Neoprene/EPDM blend sponge seals have a wide operating temperature range and display mechanical and chemical properties of both materials making it a robust and flexible material that will resist deterioration over time. Material Properties: Neoprene rubber is highly regarded for its resistance to UV rays, ozone, weathering, and chemicals, making it an ideal choice for outdoor and industrial applications. At PAR, a range of neoprene gaskets are available that offer additional characteristics and standards such as food approval, BS 2752 compliancy and flame retardantoptions. A range of standard flange, dovetail andpicture frame gaskets are available and we can satisfy both low and high quantity requirements. For information on how to accurately measure your gasket, please see our guide on 'How to Measure a Gasket' . Key Features The primary disadvantage of neoprene is its cost. Several other materials offer similar characteristics at a lower price. Neoprene also offers poor resistance to strong oxidising acids, esters, ketone and certain hydrocarbons. Other rubber materials deliver superior oil resistance. Neoprene can absorb water over time and is not recommended as an electrical insulator. Neoprene applications

Neoprene | Neoprene Rubber | TRP Polymer Solutions

Neoprene gaskets are versatile sealing components known for their exceptional resilience and suitability for various sealing applications. These gaskets are manufactured using high-quality Neoprene rubber, a synthetic elastomer renowned for its excellent balance of flexibility, durability, and resistance to environmental factors. Firm Grade Neoprene sponge gaskets are fire resistance tested to FMVSS 302, and have a density of 180kg (+/- 25), meaning they can be used in more heavy-duty applications, where less compression is needed to create a tight seal.

Fluids

Neoprene rubber is widely recognized as an exceptional elastomer, offering a multitude of benefits that make it highly desirable in various industries. When we explore the elastomers properties, we can uncover the prominent advantages of Neoprene rubber: Resistance Properties: In the marine and aquatic domain, Neoprene rubber’s water resistance and insulation properties make it the go-to choice for equipment including wetsuits, gloves, boots and other protective gear used for watersports and diving. It’s also well suited for seals and gaskets found in marine equipment or boats, ensuring reliable performance and preventing water ingress that could potentially cause damages. Electrical: Neoprene rubber is an excellent material for creating an air, dust and watertight seal, it has excellent ageing properties, being resilient to ozone, sunlight, oxidation and UV exposure and not becoming brittle over time.

Change from latex to neoprene seals: 3mm Neoprene seals do not “rot” like latex so last longer. They do get little spits and chunks gauged out of the skin surface, but they can mostly be nursed to the end of the season with field repairs when they can then be replaced. They very rarely fail catastrophically so you can’t dive unlike latex. However, despite being warmer due to the inherent insulation of the neoprene they can be prone to letting water in and be harder getting on and off because they cannot stretch like latex.Neoprene rubber also exhibits good all-round chemical resistance and is not unduly affected by a range of common chemicals, including solvents, oils and petroleum-based fuels. Neoprene is also durable, tear resistant and adheres easily to metals and fabrics. Some compounds are also flame resistant. Disadvantages of neoprene Our Rubber Seals & Cords have a wide range of employments within certain industries, including Oil, Gas, Hydraulic, and Manufacturing. This is where they are regularly used to provide an air tight seal, which is essential in preventing the ingress of air, moisture, and dirt. The aerospace & defence sector relies on Neoprene rubber for vibration in isolation mounts, serving to enhance performance and accuracy by reducing vibrations in equipment. It can also be used to safeguard delicate aircraft systems and instruments from external forces, where its excellent physical properties and durability can benefit the industry. O-rings and seals are also commonly manufactured from Neoprene rubber due to its chemical, oil and temperature resistance, offering a dependable air-tight seal in diverse aerospace or defence systems. Benefits of Neoprene Rubber Medium Density Neoprene sponge has a closed-cell structure creating an air, dust and watertight seal, it has excellent ageing properties, being resilient to ozone, sunlight, oxidation and UV exposure and not becoming brittle over time. Neoprene sponge gaskets are resistant to oil, chemically inert, flame retardant and have a wide working temperature range of -40°C to +115°C We also have the technical expertise to offer advice and guidance of the best material and adhesive to suit your needs.
