Neoprene

Neoprene is a smooth, synthetic black rubber material produced from the polymerization of chloroprene. Neoprene is one of our most popular elastomers for rubber gasketing due to its excellent adhesion qualities and general-purpose versatility that can suit a wide variety of indoor and outdoor applications.

Neoprene generally has an overall good weathering and compression resistance. It has flame retarding properties and also has resistance to petroleum-based fluids. It can resist moderate chemicals and acids, ozone, sunlight, Oil, fats, greases and many solvents.

This material has a high tensile strength and a working temperature range of -29 to +77°C (-20 to 170°F). Custom Gaskets Ltd. supplies Neoprene in different Shore “A” hardness, from 50 up to 80+ durometer.
