Our commercial grade Neoprene has excellent weathering and ozone resistant properties. It is suitable for greases, inorganic salts, fats, water and oils, which makes it a great choice for various outdoor and marine applications. Despite its strong durability, it should not be used in strong oxidizing acids or esters, which will cause degradation of the material. Neoprene is also not suitable for Ketones, Chlorinated, aromatic or nitro hydrocarbon applications.

Our economy grade Neoprene offers a less expensive alternative to our standard, commercial grade Neoprene. This is a cost effective option for applications that require less durability and resistance. It offers the same great characteristics as commercial grade including excellent resistance to weather and ozone applications.
