Neoprene, which is an elastomer and type of synthetic rubber, well-suited for a wide range of general industrial applications, making it a popular choice as a gasket material. This synthetic rubber offers reliable performance across moderate temperatures and environments, good chemical stability, and also maintains its flexibility at a variety of temperatures. Neoprene gaskets are often used for cushioning or gap filling, sealing, and shock absorption, among many other applications. North Coast Seal offers neoprene materials in many different strengths, densities, and hardness levels, meaning you can customize a neoprene sealing solution specific to your industry. We will custom cut and mold your neoprene to your precise requirements.
Neoprene is often chosen as a middle-ground material—offering a balance of performance and cost compared to higher-end elastomers like FKM or lower-cost options like natural rubber. The elasticity and flexibility of neoprene rubber contribute to a fluid-tight seal—exactly the type of protection you need for your gasket application. Combining that performance with high tensile strength, neoprene is highly resistant to many external factors, ranging from chemicals and combustion to oxidation and water. These are just a few of the many benefits of neoprene as a material choice for your sealing solution.
Whether you need die-cut gaskets, custom-molded components, or material guidance, North Coast Seal can help you select the right neoprene solution for your application.

Neoprene is commonly used for gaskets, seals, insulation, and vibration dampening components. It performs well in applications requiring resistance to water, oils, and weathering, making it a versatile choice across many industries.
Neoprene typically operates effectively between -40°F and 225°F, making it suitable for moderate temperature environments but not ideal for extreme heat applications.
Neoprene is often considered a middle-ground material. It offers better oil and weather resistance than natural rubber, while remaining more cost-effective than high-performance elastomers like FKM.
Neoprene provides good resistance to water, oils, greases, and some mild chemicals. However, it may not perform as well in highly aggressive chemical environments compared to materials like FFKM or PTFE.
