Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about neoprene rubber? At Everest Group, we have compiled the most common questions and their answers for you. Just select a question and you will see the answer immediately.

Neoprene rubber is a synthetic chloroprene elastomer widely used for its excellent balance of mechanical properties and environmental resistance. It is primarily used to manufacture gaskets, seals, and components for outdoor applications, construction, manufacturing, and automotive. Its resistance to ozone, weathering, and moderate oil exposure makes it indispensable in industrial and outdoor environments.

The main difference between neoprene and nitrile (NBR) is their ozone and oil resistance. Neoprene offers superior ozone and weather resistance, ideal for outdoor applications. Nitrile, on the other hand, has superior oil and fuel resistance but lower ozone resistance. Choose neoprene if your application requires ozone and weather resistance; choose nitrile if you need oil and fuel resistance.

Neoprene rubber is available in rolls and sheets in different thicknesses and sizes to suit each project's needs:

  • Sheets: 1m x 1m, in thicknesses from 1/16" to 3"
  • Rolls: 1m x 10m, in thicknesses from 1/16" to 5/16"
  • Rolls: 1m wide x 5m long, in thicknesses from 3/8" to 5/8"

We also offer custom cutting for specific projects. Contact us for no-obligation technical support.

Neoprene rubber operates in a temperature range of -20°C to 90°C, maintaining its mechanical and flexibility properties in extreme conditions. This makes it suitable for outdoor, construction, manufacturing, and automotive applications where thermal variations are common.

Yes. Neoprene rubber offers good oil resistance, greases, and moderate hydraulic fluids. Although its oil resistance is lower than nitrile (NBR), it is sufficient for most industrial and construction applications where oil exposure is not extreme. For high fuel or aggressive oil exposure, nitrile is recommended.
