Food Quality Neoprene Rubber
Working with suppliers and manufacturers from across the world, Advanced Seals & Gaskets Ltd are able to offer a diverse range of neoprene materials in both rubber and sponge types, one of which is Food Quality Neoprene Rubber (used to manufacture food quality solid neoprene rubber rolls).
This material is manufactured in roll form at 1.4meters wide x 5 meters or 10meters long and in thicknesses starting at just 1mm, which can be supplied by ASG in full food quality solid neoprene rubber rolls or cut down into sheets or cut parts such as gaskets, strips or pads, with a choice of self-adhesive or foil backings.
Food quality neoprene rubber has many excellent properties making it suitable for use within the pharmaceutical industry, in high-temperature food applications and where there will be contact with greases and animal/vegetable fats.
What is Food Quality Solid Neoprene Rubber?
Food Quality Neoprene Rubber is a synthetic, white coloured, tasteless and odourless material that is used within the food, drink and pharmaceutical industries.
The bright colour allows for easy visibility of dirt or materials that may contaminate foods or drinks during production or packaging and can be used in high-temperature applications and where there will be contact with greases and animal/vegetable fats.
Food quality solid neoprene rubber is manufactured in roll lengths (food quality solid neoprene rubber rolls) of either 5 meters or 10 meters, which depend on thickness, with the very thick materials been supplied in sheet form only.

Why use Food Quality Solid Neoprene Rubber Rolls?
Food quality solid neoprene rubber is a high-quality material formulated to conform to FDA standards (Food and Drug Administration). By meeting these standards, we can ensure these rolls of material are safe for use in food, drink and pharmaceutical applications, where its colour helps with the detection of dirt and foreign bodies whilst protecting the ingredients from taste and odour contamination.
Food quality neoprene rubber is water-resistant and therefore does not support mould growth, it also offers resistance to high temperatures, oil and many chemicals.
Food quality solid neoprene rubber rolls can be taken for covering large surfaces or to give the customers the freedom to cut sheets and other parts down as and when they’re required.
Benefits of using Food Quality Solid Neoprene Rubber
- Suitable for food, drink and pharmaceutical applications
- Food quality solid neoprene rubber rolls is durable even at high temperatures
- Abrasion-resistant
- Impermeable to water therefore will not allow for mould growth
- Resistant to greases and animal/vegetable fat
- Food quality solid neoprene rubber rolls has Good mechanical strength
Advantages of using Food Quality Solid Neoprene Rubber Rolls
Food quality neoprene (CR) rubber demonstrates the same chemical characteristics of a standard grade neoprene rubber, but due to the addition of different additives and compounds, it has higher tensile strength and temperature resistance.
Rolls of Food quality neoprene rubber and parts cut from there are popular for use within the food, drink and pharmaceutical industries as its white colour allows for dirt or foreign object detection. Food quality solid neoprene rubber rolls are odourless therefore protecting products from contamination and offers resistance to animal and vegetable fats, oils and greases.
Applications in which food quality solid neoprene rubber rolls are often utilised include food, beverage and pharmaceutical processing and packaging, sealing gaskets or o-rings, oven seals and drink pumps, etc.
Different grades of Solid Neoprene
As ASG works with a network of material manufacturers and suppliers, we are able to offer customers a choice of neoprene rubber types to choose from, some of the most popular include:
Neoprene (CR) is one of our most popular solid rubber materials, with various thicknesses held in stock. Neoprene is suitable for use where there is exposure to grease, oil, acids, ozone and even seawater. Available in shore hardnesses of 40° – 80° Shore.
Flame retardant neoprene rubber sheets can handle continuous temperatures of -30°C to +100°C, this material meets the test requirements of the flammability standard UL94-V0 and is in line with ISO 340. Flame retardant neoprene rubber sheets are also tested in accordance with anti-static BS 490.
Neoprene insertion rubber (CR) Solid Neoprene is one of our most popular solid rubber materials, with various thicknesses held in stock. Neoprene is suitable for use where there is exposure to grease, oil, acids, ozone and even seawater.
