What is CR (Neoprene®)?

Neoprene®, also known as CR-rubber is a derivative of the chemical name polycholoropreen. This elastomer is mainly produced by polymerising a certain substance called chloroprene. NDS-Seals is an expert in the production and manufacturing of this synthetic rubber. Neoprene® rubber is present in almost every industry, which explains why NDS-Seals commonly supplies the following industries.

• Heating, Ventilation & Air-conditioning
• Automotive
• Food & Beverages
• Oil & Gas
• Medical appliances
• Household appliances

Neoprene® rings have excellent barrier properties capable of handling situations involving a wide variety of chemical and natural compounds. Seawater is regarded as one of the most common natural fluids requiring the use of Neoprene® rubber. The shipping industry is consecutively one of the biggest consumers of Neoprene® products. Besides the shipping industry, Neoprene® gaskets, bands and foam are often incorporated in cooling -& freezing applications since they can handle extreme temperatures of -55°C. Additionally, the material has a substantial barrier against acids, oils, solvents, ozone and other environmental compounds. The high mechanical properties are in various industrial applications in favour for the choice of Neoprene® rubber.

Neoprene® rubber foam, gaskets and rings

At NDS-Seals it is possible to order standard or customized Neoprene® foam products, Neoprene® rings or other sealing solutions such as Neoprene® (sponge) gaskets. We utilize closed cell or open cellular Neoprene® rubber. The cells of this material are not connected with each other resulting in a functional seal against oils and other liquids. All Neoprene® products abide to the highest industry standards, hence explaining why these products are often used in sustainable construction and engineering projects. Self-adhesive Neoprene® can also be ordered from NDS-Seals. This specific subtype of the elastomer is commonly used in the heating, ventilation & Air-conditioning, automotive and aeronautical industries.

Your Neoprene® products produced by NDS

NDS-Seals offers the possibility of manufacturing customized Neoprene® products that exactly fit your unique application. During a transparent process we look at the final application and try to match these with your requirements. We commence by creating a 3D-CAD design based on your technical drawings. The 3D computer model is consecutively transformed into a working sample. After approval we continue with the actual production. If required, we can produce the Neoprene® rubber product in bulk and keep it in stock.
