What is Neoprene Cord Used For?
There are numerous uses for neoprene cord. RH Nuttall Ltd neoprene is excellent for outdoor and high heat environments. It is used to create parts for computers, as a construction material, and to provide seals and gaskets. Neoprene sponge is a closed cell technology which is easily compressed and can be moulded into shape. Neoprene rubber is considered an all-purpose rubber.
Neoprene sponge is used in elevators, in bridge construction, and in motorway production. It is the top material for sealing gaps and voids, preventing anything from passing through its closed cell structure. The high rate of compression allows it to be manipulated into place, too.

What’s the Difference Between EPDM Sponge and Neoprene Sponge?
While EPDM polymer is a similarly made closed cell material, it has other properties. EPDM foam is heat, cold, ozone, water, and weather resistant. Neoprene sponge, on the other hand, is also oil, gasolene, and acid-resistant but can be eroded by oxygenated solvents, such as chemicals.
The Benefits of Neoprene Sponge Cord
There are multiple benefits to using this type of cordage. Here are some of the reasons you should consider neoprene sponge cord as your material of choice:
- Standard sizes held in stock for fast production and delivery
- Circular foam sealing strip is UV resistant
- Neoprene sponge cord is ozone and air resistant
- It is waterproof and acts as a wonderful seal for H2O applications
