Neoprene O-rings
Neoprene is the first commercially developed synthetic rubber. Buy our neoprene O-rings at low cost and with short delivery time.
Description
Neoprene O-rings are versatile seals known for their resistance to weather, ozone and moderate chemicals. The O-rings are resistant to refrigerants, ammonia, silicone oils, water, ozone, sunlight, vegetable oils, alcohols, and low-pressure oxygen. All O-rings are available in a wide range of standard colours and durometers, from 40 to 90.
Chloroprene rubber, also known as neoprene rubber. This synthetic material offers a combination of chemical resistance, flexibility, and a wide temperature range.
Advantages
Neoprene O-rings are very resistant to weathering effects like ozone, UV rays, and oxidation, making them especially effective in outdoor installations and exposed environments. Their temperature range of approximately -40°C to +110°C allows them to maintain flexibility and sealing integrity under both cold and hot conditions.
Additionally, these O-rings are easy to install, handle, and replace, and they are available in an extensive variety of diameters and profiles. Furthermore, the relatively low production cost of neoprene rubber makes the o-rings very cheap.
Limitations
While Neoprene O-rings perform well in many applications, there are limitations to consider.
- Not tolerant to aromatic hydrocarbons
- Not Resistant to chlorinated hydrocarbons
- Not Resistant to benzene
- Not suited to to glycol brake fluids
- Not Resistant to ketones
- Not suited to to polar solvents
- Not Resisting to esters
- Not Resistant to ethers
- Not Resistant to trichloroethylene

Applications
Neoprene O-rings are ideal for outdoor applications, HVAC systems, and general industrial sealing due to their flexibility, durability, and low cost. No matter if employed in water treatment or structural joints, they provide consistent performance under changing situations. Thanks to their excellent performance under changing conditions, these O-rings serve as reliable seals in static systems.
