Neoprene Sponge Foam Rubber

Intec Foams are specialists in the conversion and supply of Neoprene Foam Sponge Rubber. A versatile foam rubber used in many applications

There are several different densities of Neoprene Foam Rubber which are manufactured in raw block form or in rolls. The flexibility of Neoprene means that the foams are suitable for a wide variety of applications requiring a rubber type foam which has good resistance and/or characteristics for different liquids. It is most widely known for its use in sports clothing and equipment.

With our vast experience and knowledge of Neoprene Sponge Rubber, we can help you in the selection of the correct grade and design of a finished foam product to keep unit costs down, and to help in keeping your own labour costs down in assembly.

Neoprene EPDM SPonge Rubber Blend

Neoprene EPDM are co-polymers of Neoprene and EPDM closed cell sponge, which offer the properties of both grades of materials. The blend ratio’s dictate the properties to a certain extent. Such foams are becoming increasingly the predominant grades, replacing both pure Neoprene and EPDM as a good General Purpose grade of sponge rubber.

Used where low UV/Ozone resistance is required but with a degree of Fuel, Oil and chemical resistance

Flame Retardant classification to UL94 HF 1 is available. The foams can be supplied with or without a self adhesive backing and can be cut into coils for sealing tapes.
