Food Quality Neoprene Rubber Sheet
Food Quality Neoprene Rubber Sheet
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 sheets).
This material is manufactured in roll form at 1.4meters wide x 5 meters or 10 meters long and in thicknesses starting at just 1mm, which can be supplied by ASG in full rolls or cut down into food quality solid neoprene rubber sheets at 1 meter or 2 meters in length.
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 are Food Quality Solid Neoprene Rubber Sheets?
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 of either 5 meters or 10 meters, which can be cut down into food quality solid neoprene rubber sheets.

Why use Food Quality Solid Neoprene Rubber Sheets?
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 food quality solid neoprene rubber sheets 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 sheets can be taken for covering large surfaces or to give the customers the freedom to cut food quality solid neoprene rubber sheets and other parts down as and when they’re required.
Benefits of using Food Quality Solid Neoprene Rubber
- Food quality solid neoprene rubber sheets are Suitable for food, drink and pharmaceutical applications
- Durable even at high temperatures
- Abrasion-resistant
- Impermeable to water therefore will not allow for mould growth
- Food quality solid neoprene rubber sheets are resistant to greases and animal/vegetable fat
- Good mechanical strength
Advantages of using Food Quality Solid Neoprene Rubber Sheets
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.
Food quality solid neoprene rubber sheets 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, it is odourless therefore protecting products from contamination and offers resistance to animal and vegetable fats, oils and greases.
Applications in which food quality neoprene rubber 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.
