When sealing performance is critical, material choice and manufacturing quality matter. At Stephens Gaskets, we are a trusted UK manufacturer and supplier of high-performance neoprene gaskets, engineered for reliability across demanding industrial and commercial applications.
With over 70 years of experience in gasket, shim, and washer manufacturing, we work closely with engineers, buyers, and maintenance teams who need neoprene gaskets that perform consistently, order after order.
What Is Neoprene and Why Is It Used for Gaskets?
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber known for its excellent balance of strength, flexibility, and environmental resistance. It performs reliably across a wide temperature range, typically from -40°C to +120°C, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor sealing applications.
Neoprene gaskets are commonly specified because they offer:
- Strong resistance to water, oils, and fuels.
- Excellent weathering and ozone resistance.
- Good compression resistance for long-term sealing.
- Thermal and moisture insulation.
- Cushioning and vibration absorption.
These properties make neoprene one of the most versatile gasket materials used in modern engineering.
What Is a Neoprene Gasket?
A neoprene gasket is a precision-cut sealing component used between two or more mating surfaces to prevent the leakage of liquids or gases. It also helps exclude dust, debris, and environmental contaminants, protecting equipment and improving operational reliability.
Because neoprene compresses effectively under load without permanent deformation, it creates a dependable seal even in applications subject to movement or vibration.
Typical Uses for Neoprene Gaskets
As a specialist neoprene gasket supplier, Stephens Gaskets manufactures components for a wide range of industries and applications.
Neoprene gaskets are widely used in:
- Construction and building services.
- Automotive and transport systems.
- Electrical and lighting assemblies.

- Aerospace and industrial plant environments.
They also play a vital role in large-scale engineering systems, including energy infrastructure and processing facilities, where sealing integrity directly affects safety and performance.
