Neoprene Sponge Rubber Fabrications

Neoprene Fabrication

For very bespoke Neoprene sponge seals or gaskets, Advanced Seals & Gaskets have a dedicated fabrication team who can physically construct specific parts, including neoprene sponge rubber fabrication parts. A fabrication often requires a combination of specialist machinery, usually a selection of saws, drills, buffers and knives, alongside the manual adhesion and construction of the finished product.

By choosing ASG for your fabrications, you will benefit from the availability of our CNC oscillating knife, which can automatically cut, drill and router fabricated parts by reading CAD drawings. Fabrications are often used as a cheaper alternative to mouldings and extrusions for the production of bespoke shapes as there is no initial die or tooling cost. Fabrications are ideal for when one-off prototypes or small quantity runs are needed.

All our Neoprene sponge fabrications are made to order, produced using samples or drawings provided by customers, and can take many forms including multiple material laminating to create composites sheets which can then be cut down into gaskets, washers, strips, displays & signage (such as logos or lettering), very large gaskets or seal or though with flexible joints or irregular angles can also be produced as fabricated parts.

    What Are Neoprene Sponge Rubber Fabrications?

    Neoprene sponge rubber, also referred to as Polychloroprene (CR) is just one of many closed cell materials on offer from Advanced Seals & Gaskets vast catalogue which can be supplied as fabricated components, which can be used for sealing against dust, air and moisture, gap filling between uneven surfaces or for reducing unwanted noise and vibration in applications where there is exposure to chemicals, oil and petrol. Neoprene sponge is one of ASG’s stock materials, held in block form which using a number of tools and processes can be cut, shaped or joined into bespoke fabricated 3D shapes or profiles.

    Why Use Neoprene Sponge Rubber Fabrications?

    Neoprene sponge medium grade has a number of desirable properties making it a popular choice for use as a sealing and gasketing material. It’s closed cell structure creates an air, dust and water-tight seal, with both sound and vibration-insulating properties.

    Neoprene sponge has a great longevity compared to other materials thanks to its excellent aging properties, being resilient to ozone, sunlight, oxidation and UV exposure. Medium grade Neoprene sponge is resistant to petrol, oil, chemically inert and flame retardant, therefore found used within many building & construction,glazing, sealing, electronic and automotive applications.

    Benefits Of Neoprene Sponge Rubber

    • Readily available from stock
    • Durable
    • Oil, petrol, chemical, UV, Ozone & weathering resistant
    • Flame retardant
    • Sound/vibration absorbing
    • Closed cell which prevents bacteria & mould growth

    Different Grades of Neoprene Sponge Available

    Firm Grade Neoprene sponge sheets are closed cell, fire resistance tested to FMVSS 302, and have a density of 180kg (+/- 25), this means they are suitable for use in more heavy duty applications, where less compression is needed to create a tight seal.

    Flame Retardant Neoprene sheets are grey in colour, can handle continuous temperatures from -40°C to 115°C and subjected to more vigorous fire testing ( FMVSS 302, UL94, AFNOR P9750), this makes the material ideal for use within construction and transport applications where a flame resistant barrier may be required.

    EPDM/Neoprene Blend sponge is an extremely versatile material, combining the properties of both types of sponge, excellent weathering and outdoor resistance of EPDM and the oil/chemical resistance of neoprene, making it the ideal choice for many outdoor sealing applications.

    The Advantages of Using Neoprene Sponge Rubber Fabrications

    Customers will often choose to have their fabrications manufactured using Neoprene sponge as there are many advantages to using the material. Being one of ASG’s stock materials, products of any shape, size, thickness and finish can be turned around within a minimal timeframe.

    The material itself is long-lasting, with a wide operating temperature range of -40ºc to +115ºc coupled with being UV, Ozone & weathering resistant, which means it can be utilised for many indoor and outdoor applications. Under minimal compression, neoprene sponge fabrications offer excellent dust, air and watertight seal as well as good resistance against oil. Being a flexible and robust material, the neoprene sponge is suitable for use within many automotive, glazing, electronic, lighting, ventilation and building/construction applications.
