Neoprene, a versatile synthetic rubber, has become a staple material in the sealing industry. Its exceptional properties make it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications. Neoprene exhibits excellent resistance to oil, chemicals, and temperature extremes, ensuring optimal performance in challenging environments. Its high tensile strength and flexibility allow for effective sealing, preventing leakage and contamination. Neoprene's durability and long lifespan make it a cost-effective solution, providing reliable sealing solutions for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. Its compatibility with different fluids and its ability to maintain its sealing properties under pressure make Neoprene a trusted choice for hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Overall, Neoprene's exceptional qualities make it an indispensable material in the sealing industry, ensuring reliable and efficient operation in diverse applications.

Features and Benefits:

Neoprene has great heat resistance, with a temperature range of -40°C up to +120°C, while at these temperatures the material is able to stay flexible and stable. As well as being flame resistant, it also has excellent resistances to UV light, chemicals, oils and fats.

Depending on the compound of Neoprene will depend on how water resistant (or waterproof) it is. As open-cell neoprene can absorb water, because of the small pockets or pores in the material, this will affect the properties of the material over time. However, closed-cell Neoprene is Truly waterproof, this is because it has zero small pockets or pores for water to pass through the material.

Compared to natural rubber, Neoprene is usually a lot stronger and harder, this is why neoprene has a great resistance to abrasion and tearing, as well as brilliant tensile strength. Because of the low temperature capabilities of neoprene it has great adhesion to some metals and fabrics.

Summary:

• Temperature range of -40°C to +120°C

• Excellent tensile stength

• Excellent resistance to water (waterproof)

• Great resistance to abrasion and tearing
