Neoprene Dip Molding and Coating

Neoprene dip molding is the process of creating a molded component by dipping a mold into neoprene. Neoprene is a synthetic rubber substance that can also be known as polychloroprene and PC- rubber. It is similar to latex, but is safe for those with a latex allergy.

Neoprene dip molding is the process of dipping a mold into neoprene to create a molded component. Neoprene is a synthetic rubber that is a great option for chemical stability/ resistance and maintains a flexible foundation. It is also can be subject to high temperatures without losing its strong capabilities.

Neoprene can also be known as polychloroprene and PC- rubber. Dipping a mold in this is ideal for a number of reasons. Tooling costs and lead times is much less than other options and is essential for high volume orders. It is also similar to latex, but its safe for those with a latex allergy. Neoprene dipped parts can be of all shapes, sizes, and used on many different substrates. Common practices include, neoprene to metal bonded, polychloroprene to metal bonded, and neoprene over molded to various materials.

Some industrial products that can be molded from neoprene include: seals, O-rings, grommets, gaskets, bellows, hoses, and diaphragms. Using neoprene as an element in industrial settings can be beneficial since it has fire retardant properties. It is also resistant to cutting and tearing, which can be beneficial in many applications. Metals including stainless steel, brass, and aluminum are all capable of being dipped in neoprene since it adheres well to metals. Neoprene is commonly used in the gas and oil industry because it is resistant to many of the chemicals and heat used.
