Neoprene Rubber Sheet Properties

The closed cell form is waterproof less compressible and more expensive.

Neoprene rubber sheet properties.

Neoprene foam is used in many applications and is produced in either closed cell or open cell form. Our rubber products are a proprietary blend of various polymers formulated to meet stated physicals and specifications. Neoprene properties neoprene was originally intended to serve as an oil resistant substitute for natural rubber but since its invention neoprene s other properties have enabled its use a rubber alternative in a wide range of applications. Uses of neoprene rubber sheeting the rubber has superb weathering and ozone resistant properties as well as being suitable for use with greases inorganic salts acids water and oils.

A neoprene rubber sheet can be used in applications such as creating neoprene seals or a neoprene liner. In its native state neoprene is a very pliable rubber like material with insulating properties similar to rubber or other solid plastics. Basic characteristics of neoprene neoprene polychloroprene is a multipurpose elastomer that has a balanced combination of properties. When used in liners seals and gaskets neoprene brings plenty of chemical and physical properties to the table.

Neoprene rubber can withstand weathering and resists flex cracking. The properties and characteristics of manufactured rubber products may vary based on polymer type and formulation. These are the inherent characteristics of neoprene. This means that it is ideal for a whole range of outdoor uses particularly where there is extensive exposure to water and the weather.
