Neoprene
Alanto is a leading supplier of Neoprene Foam and sponge solutions in the UK, manufacturing 6 different types of Neoprene in a range of colours.
This material is specially formulated to provide resistance against oils and chemicals and is undeterred by toxic substances like hydrocarbon solvents. It is a robust material that can be used in a broad range of applications, across multiple industries.
Neoprene Foam and Sponge Suppliers
Each Neoprene variant has individual characteristics that allow it to perform differently under the pressure of adverse environments. In addition to our pre-formulated Neoprene specifications, Alanto is proud to offer custom compounding for specific applications. It’s thermal properties and tolerance to both hot and cold environments make it a particularly attractive material for outdoor use.
The high tensile strength and low compression set of Neoprene sheets make it a durable material that is appropriate for applications in the construction, packaging and logistics industries – to name a few. In addition, Neoprene has good recovery characteristics following compression, rendering it an excellent material for gaskets, tapes and rolls.
Neoprene Sponge Specifications
There is a range of closed cell Neoprene sponge materials available in the colour black. Densities and hardness are as follows:
- DK1720 Density 140-190 kg/m3, 40-50 Shore Hardness
- DK1410 Density 115-155 kg/m3, 40-45 Shore Hardness
- DK1735 Density 150-200 kg/m3, 50-60 Shore Hardness
Differing densities and shore hardness assist in applications where closed cell Neoprene sponge is required to provide sealing properties to prevent the ingress of air, dust, moisture and water. We also have a range of Neoprene materials that are CFC and HCFC free.
Neoprene Sheet Capabilities and Applications
Whilst Neoprene can be used in almost any consumer application, here at Alanto, we specialise in industrial applications for a range of industries including:
- The automotive industry – e.g. lights, mirrors, steering sections and door seals
- The conversion industry – e.g. coils/rolls of sealing material and cut lengths/angle cut sections
- The engineering industry – e.g. for insulating nuts and bolts
- The construction industry – e.g. for expansion joints and acoustic seals
- The electrical and lighting industry – utilised in situations requiring IP conformance
- The heating and lighting industry – e.g. for use in refrigeration, cold storage and thermal insulation
Neoprene Foam Specifications and Classifications
Our range of Neoprene closed cell Foam materials all have flame retardant specifications conforming to FMVSS302 classification. We also have a closed cell Neoprene Foam which has a higher flame retardant specification conforming to UL94 HF1 classification. This material is grey in colour and has the following attributes:
- Ref DK1620FR, Density 130-170, 40-50 Shore Hardness, Flame Retardant to UL 94 HF1.
