High-Performance Neoprene Rubber Gaskets Manufactured in the UK
Stephens Gaskets manufactures precision neoprene rubber gaskets for sealing applications where durability, flexibility and chemical resistance are essential.
With decades of specialist gasket manufacturing experience, we support customers across engineering, electrical, marine, automotive and industrial sectors with reliable neoprene sealing solutions built to perform in real-world conditions.
Neoprene remains one of the most versatile elastomers available. Its balance of oil resistance, weather stability, abrasion resistance and sealing performance makes it a trusted material for both indoor and outdoor environments.
What Is a Neoprene Rubber Gasket?
A neoprene rubber gasket, also known as a polychloroprene gasket, is a flexible sealing component used to fill gaps between mating surfaces.
By compressing between components, the gasket creates a tight seal that prevents the escape of liquids, gases or contaminants while improving alignment and mechanical stability.
Neoprene gasket material is commonly supplied as sheet and converted into gaskets of almost any shape or size using precision cutting methods. At Stephens Gaskets, we manufacture both neoprene gasket sheets and finished gaskets, tailored to your exact requirements.
Why Choose Neoprene for Gasket Applications?
Neoprene rubber offers a unique combination of properties that make it suitable for a wide range of sealing environments.
1. Excellent Chemical and Oil Resistance
Neoprene performs well in contact with oils, greases and many industrial fluids, making it ideal for mechanical and electrical installations.
2. Outstanding Weather and Ozone Resistance
It resists degradation from sunlight, ozone and outdoor exposure, making it a strong choice for external sealing and weatherproofing.
3. Wide Operating Temperature Range
Neoprene gaskets perform reliably between -20°C and +110°C, maintaining flexibility and sealing integrity across temperature fluctuations.
4. Strong Abrasion and Wear Resistance
Its toughness allows it to withstand repeated compression and movement without tearing or deforming.
Good Gas Impermeability and Recovery
Neoprene offers excellent resistance to gas permeation and recovers well after compression, ensuring long-term sealing performance.
These properties are why neoprene is widely used in electrical installations, weather sealing, industrial machinery and general engineering applications.

Neoprene vs Other Rubber Gasket Materials
While neoprene is highly versatile, correct material selection is essential.
- Neoprene is ideal for oil resistance, weather exposure and general sealing.
- EPDM is preferred for potable water and steam systems.
- Nitrile excels in fuel and oil-heavy environments.
We provide expert technical guidance to ensure you choose the most suitable rubber gasket material for your application, avoiding premature failure or unnecessary cost.
