Neoprene Foam

Key Features of Neoprene Foam

Made from synthetic rubber, neoprene foam is highly durable, flexible, elastic, and exceptionally resistant to water, oil, and other solvents. Additionally, neoprene foam has a significant level of compressive resistance and can be customized based on density. Neoprene foam rubber gaskets are generally produced for sealing applications. Here are some of the most desirable features of neoprene sponge materials:

• Chemical Resistance: Neoprene can withstand everyday chemicals, allowing it to be used for general sealing roles without fear of product degradation. Unlike other foams, the longevity of neoprene foam rubber makes it an excellent candidate for a wide range of gasket and sealing applications.
• Thermal Insulation: Neoprene foam rubber retains hot and cold temperatures while maintaining unwanted thermal conditions. It is excellent for regulating and maintaining the air temperature around it. Simply put, neoprene sponge rubber does not allow moisture or heat to pass through, which is why you can find this material in refrigerators where sealing is critical.
• Density and Flexibility: Neoprene has good density, is flexible, and does not deform under compression, meaning it resists compressibility and has good rebound.
• Durability: Due to its durability and flexibility, neoprene is great for products that need a good lifecycle.
• Lightweight: The lightweight nature of neoprene allows it to add significant value without adding extra weight to products and applications.
• Weather Resistance: Neoprene offers significant resistance to ozone and weather, including moisture, rain, snow, UV radiation, and air.
