Style 7104/8 - Commercial Neoprene
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber produced by the polymerization of chloroprene. One other neat feature about neoprene is that it’s impermeable, meaning that it can work as a tight barrier to prevent the escaping of gases or liquids. Water & weather resistant properties makes it an ideal outdoor material and an excellent choice for application with exposure to sunlight, ozone, oxidation, rain, snow, sand and dust- all weather conditions. Neoprene is an excellent cushoing material as well.
Material is available in various durometers, thicknesses, rolls sizes, sheet sizes and stripped to custom dimensions
It is hard to exhaustively list all the application of such a versatile material. Below is a sampling:
- General gasket and flange applications
- Electrical insulation, elastomeric membranes or flashings
- Weather stripping for fire doors and similar applications
- Bumpers, cushioning, pads, orthopedic braces (wrist, knee, etc.)
