Neoprene also offers poor resistance to strong oxidising acids, esters, ketone and certain hydrocarbons. 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. It contains brief information describing the differences as well as potential uses for each compound. Neoprene sponge seals are available in the form of gaskets, washers, O-rings, extrusions, and cord all designed to prevent air, fluid or gas leaks.

Despite being a less durable and less resistant material, our economy and commercial neoprene grades are still suitable for use in a number of applications.Additionally Neoprene/Nylon Insertion Diaphragm rubber offers excellent mechanical properties and resistance to water, oil, UV light and fuels. After World War II, DuPont invested in a neoprene plant to meeting the increasing demand for neoprene rubber.

A Complete Guide to Neoprene Rubber - Properties and Uses

Neoprene rubber boasts exceptional chemical resistance properties, making it a versatile and often preferred choice in many applications. Neoprene seals are a preferred choice in applications where there is exposure to water, chemicals and oil such as construction, aerospace, automotive, marine and agriculture. This is also oval so the alinement of the glove rings and the suit ring is critical when you push your gloves on and they lock in place any twisting of the two may cause water to get in the gloves. We are able to offer a competitive range of Extruded Rubber Seal products, including many standard sizes and coil lengths to suit all projects.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.
