Neoprene (CR).

Neoprene (CR) is the balanced all-rounder — useful weather, moderate-oil and flame resistance in one compound. We mould and extrude it into seals, gaskets, pads and anti-vibration mounts for general industrial use.

// Why neoprene

One balanced compound.

All-rounder

Useful weather, oil and flame resistance together — a practical default.

Weather-resistant

Good ozone and weather ageing for outdoor parts.

Flame resistance

Useful inherent flame-retardant behaviour for safety-relevant parts.

Damping

Works well for pads and anti-vibration mounts.

// FAQ

Common questions.

What is neoprene rubber good for?

Neoprene balances weather, moderate-oil and flame resistance, which makes it a practical all-rounder for general industrial seals, pads and mounts.

Is neoprene flame resistant?

Neoprene has useful inherent flame-retardant behaviour, which is why it's chosen for some safety-relevant parts.

Does neoprene resist oil?

It handles moderate oil contact; for strong oils or fuels we recommend NBR or FKM.
