This Expanded Neoprene Cord is 4mm diameter and supplied by the linear metre. It is made from a closed cell sponge material which does not absorb water so is suitable for making watertight seals on boat hatches, lockers, enclosures, and cabinets. As a soft compressible material, it is ideal for joining into O rings or making other custom sized gaskets.
We manufacture this product from high quality Expanded Neoprene which is a non-marking compressible material suitable for a wide range of every day and industrial applications. When compressed to approximately 30%, Expanded Neoprene will create a good long-term watertight seal without risk of compression set. This material has a good modular resistance to most substances including UV, air and ozone. Expanded Neoprene has a density of 130Kg/m3 and an operating temperature range between -40°C to +100°C.
Expanded Neoprene can be bonded onto most clean flat surfaces. We recommend using a good quality contact adhesive such as our A262 (available from our website) when coming into contact with large amounts of water.
