Neoprene Foam

Neoprene foam is a type of black, flexible, and durable sponge rubber widely used in various industries. Neoprene rubber materials possess exceptional physical properties, including:

UV and Ozone Resistance: Ideal for outdoor use due to its resistance to ultraviolet rays, ozone, sunlight, and oxidation.
Oil and Chemical Resistance: Offers resistance to oil, petroleum derivatives, and many chemicals, making it ideal for industrial applications.
Weather Resistance: Neoprene foam can withstand degradation from weather due to its unique molecular structure.

Applications of Neoprene Sheets

Construction Industry: Neoprene foam rubber is widely used in construction due to its high tensile strength, excellent ozone resistance, remarkable weather performance, and low compression set. It is commonly used in elevators, bridge and highway seals, custom window gaskets, neoprene window seals, and more.

Fenestration Industry: Neoprene foam rubber is regularly used for doors, sensitive seals, and window seals with locking strips.
Mass Transit Industry: Neoprene sponge meets the high requirements for smoke, flame, and toxicity in the mass transit industry.
Automotive Industry: Neoprene sponge materials are found throughout vehicle chassis and under the hood, in shock absorber seals, power transmission belts, and more.
Cable and Wire Industry: Neoprene sponge rubber has better resistance to flame, chemicals, heat, weathering, and ozone than natural rubber. As a result, neoprene rubber components are widely used for protective jackets for cable and wire systems, such as heavy cable sheathing and cable jackets.
HVAC Industry: Neoprene provides a more efficient sealing gasket material to protect air conditioning units from air and external pollutants.

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.
