Our Materials
Neoprene
Neoprene, commonly known as chloroprene is a solid rubber material with good resistance to oils, chemicals, UV and Ozone. Available in a range of shore hardnesses and thicknesses in sheet format. Some common products produced using Neoprene rubber are safety gloves, laptop covers/sleeves and sports/medical equipment.
Neoprene sponge is a closed cell synthetic rubber with similar properties to EPDM and Natural sheeting in terms of its resilience and resistance to abrasion. Neoprene sponges have a good resistance to oils, whereas resistance to petrol and other hydrocarbons is moderate

EPDM
EPDM rubber features excellent elasticity, resistance to UV rays, ozone and general weathering, as well as an excellent resistance to extreme temperatures. In addition to great weathering properties, EPDM also exhibits good resistance to water-based chemicals and vegetable-based hydraulic oils.
As a result of its useful properties and longevity, EPDM rubber is widely used in a range of applications and industrial sectors including, the Automotive, Lighting, Heating and Roofing sectors.

Silicone
One of the major benefits of silicone is that it maintains a high level of flexibility and low compression set even when subjected to extreme low and high temperatures. It also exhibits fantastic resistance to UV and ozone as well as being highly resistant towards water, acids, bases, chemicals, oils and fungus.
Due to its many advantageous properties, silicone rubber is a mainstay in a wide range of industrial sectors, including aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical and even food and drink production.

Nitrile
Nitrile rubber is a synthetic rubber co-polymer of acrylonitrile and butadiene. Also known as Buna-N or NBR, Nitrile rubber is resistant to aliphatic hydrocarbons, oils and fuels; and has a temperature range of -20˚C to + 100˚C. It is similar to commercial and natural rubber, as it can be attacked by UV/Ozone. Nitrile rubber gaskets are popularly used in the aeronautical, petrochemical and automotive industries.

Cork
Cork can be supplied in a range of different grades, for example, Neoprene bonded or Nitrile bonded Cork. Cork has excellent oil and anti-vibration properties and is a highly effective material for sealing applications like fuel and oil pumps, electrical transformers and switchgear. It can also be used as flooring expansion jointing strips or gaskets.
