Closed Cell Neoprene
How is closed cell foam made.
Closed cell neoprene. Our closed cell neoprene epdm sponge rubber is an excellent general purpose gasket material that can be used in many indoor and outdoor gasketing applications that requires a ul 94 hf 1 or a fmvss 302 listed material for flammability. The chemical inertness of closed cell neoprene makes this material suitable for many industrial and flexible sealing applications such as gaskets used in electrical enclosures and weather stripping. Closed cell foam has a closed off cell structure which makes it more water resistant. Open cell foam on the other hand has an open cell structure which means liquid can soak into the material.
Neoprene was invented by dupont as the first mass produced synthetic rubber compound. This closed cell sponge sealing material works well in applications that will be exposed to sunlight. Foam types neoprene high quality standard sizes 80 x48 80 x24. Black foam rubber sheet these neoprene sheets consist of closed cell these neoprene sheets consist of closed cell rubber sponge.
Since the air pockets in closed cell sponge are sealed closed cell neoprene is far less permeable to water than open cell anda thus does not easily absorb moisture. Closed cell sponge rubber neoprene 3 4 in. Due to these air pockets closed cell neoprene sponge is softer more compressible anda superior at absorbing energy compared to solid rubber. Wide variety of closed cell foam products for may applications.
Closed cell foam is made by applying a gas such as nitrogen to a rubber or plastic compound that is under high pressure.
