You are looking at Solid Neoprene Rubber strip, totalling 25 metres x 100mm x 6mm, supplied in 2 x 10 mtr and 1 x 5 mtr lengths. These are not to be confused with sponge, which we do list elsewhere on E-Bay.

This is a high quality compound with a guaranteed active polymer content of between 20 - 30% - This means it will last longer than "Economy" grades.

Polychloroprene Rubber (PCR), widely known as Neoprene, was one of the original oil resistant synthetic rubbers. However, it has only moderate resistance to petroleum based oils and fuels due to the increase in "bio-fuel" element.

Neoprene is a very versatile polymer and has a number of uses from sealing gaskets to weather strip due to it's Ozone and UV resistance. Other applications include vibration dampening and seals to prevent water or leaf ingress into garages and outbuildings.

It can be considered as a good general purpose rubber with an excellent balance of physical and chemical properties.

If required it can be bonded to metalwork etc. using a good quality contact adhesive.

It has better chemical, oil, ozone and heat resistance than natural rubber.

If you require a different size or thickness or need any advice, simply message us.

Most items will be despatched via Royal Mail, however with some of the larger strips, due to size and weight they will be despatched via a courier which may be DPD, UPS or Hermes.

We have excluded Highlands and Islands from this listing, however we can send to these locations albeit there may be an additional carriage cost depending on the size and weight required.
