Custom Neoprene Gaskets & Rubber Washers Collection
Gaskets are important components in almost every single industrial environment. A gasket manufacturer uses different materials varying from silicone and metal to paper and felt for making gaskets. Each of these materials has a specific use case scenario and have their own unique characteristics and properties.
One material that can be used to fit a wide range of consumer products is Neoprene Rubber. Neoprene is a polymer of synthetic rubber that is extremely resistant to degradation. The material is unaffected by the likes of oxidation, sunlight, and petroleum. As a result, it has become a top-rated product for both industrial and consumer applications. A neoprene gasket is extremely tough and has various resistances. When coupled with its low predisposition to degrade, it is a perfect choice for several cases.
Neoprene gaskets have different types. Let’s look at them closely.
-
Solid rubber – A solid neoprene rubber gasket is used in harsh outdoor weather conditions. Its wide range of applications includes use as a flame barrier, shock and vibration absorption, and thermal control.
-
Sponge – Open/Closed cell sponge neoprene gaskets can be customized based on the thickness, hardness, and grade required. A closed-cell sponge gasket is best for sealing electronic components owing to its fire-resistant properties. It also keeps out any kind of oil or solvent contamination. An open-cell sponge gasket has strong anti-slip properties, making it perfect for use as a gap-filling solution.
-
Foam – A closed foam neoprene gasket is available in varying levels of thickness. Its primary use is for environmental sealing. When using it in outdoor enclosures, it can stop the entry of dust, pollen, and moisture, protecting mechanical equipment from damage or items stored inside these enclosures. The resistance of neoprene to degradation makes it a long-lasting solution for your sealing needs.
Based on your requirements, you can order neoprene gaskets directly from a manufacturer like Gorilla Gasket, who can give you a customized quote for your order.
