  • About neoprene foam

    Neoprene foam is a closed cell foam, that is impermeable to air and water, providing superior sealing against ingress of liquids, including oils and chemicals. Neoprene foam tape is commonly used in applications such as sealing and gasketing of electronics, especially those within automotive devices. Other applications include those requiring cushioning and vibration damping.

    Utilising our range of converting capabilities, we can laminate closed cell neoprene foam with double sided adhesives and convert the bespoke material construction into custom shapes, sizes and final presentations suited to your unique requirements.

    Closed cell neoprene characteristics:

    • Good UV, ozone and oxidation resilience
    • Flame retardant
    • Resistant to oils and chemicals
    • Flexible and durable
    • Available in a range of colours
    • Excellent ageing properties
    • Resistant to extreme high and low temperatures
    • Available in a range of thicknesses
