A durable sponge-rubber type closed cell foam. Made of Neoprene this material is used in mechanical and hydrolic gaskets, sound barriers for interior walls, ceilings or floors.
Features & Benefits of Neoprene CR Foam
• Closed-Cell Neoprene has a hardness durometer of 30–50 Shore, providing good compression strength for sealing and gasketing. • Durability: physically robust, resisting abrasions and harsh conditions • UV and Ozone Resistance: Highly resistant to degradation from ultraviolet (UV) rays and ozone, making it suitable for outdoor applications without discoloration or structural damage. • Moisture Resistance: Closed-cell neoprene foam is highly moisture-resistant, with water absorption levels below 5%, making it ideal for wet environments. • Chemical and Oil Resistance: Offers moderate resistance to oils, greases, and certain chemicals, suitable for industrial settings where exposure to abrasive substances is common. • Temperature Tolerance: Operates effectively in a wide temperature range, typically from -57°C to 93°C. • High Compression Strength: Closed-cell neoprene has a hardness durometer of 30–50 Shore, providing good compression strength for sealing and gasketing.
What is Neoprene CR Foam used for?
Automotive:
Gaskets, seals, and weather stripping due to oil and temperature resistance.
Medical:
Braces, padding, and packaging due to resistance to mildew, mold, and bacteria.
Marine:
Padding for boats, wetsuits, and flotation devices due to water resistance.
Industrial:
Insulation, gaskets, and vibration dampening in HVAC, electronics, and construction.
