The Howard J. Moore Company has been Die Cutting rubber materials for 80 years.  Rubber materials are essential in a wide range of sealing, cushioning, insulating, and vibration-damping applications. At our facility, we custom die cut rubber sheets and rolls—both solid and foam—to match your exact specifications. We work with a variety of elastomers, each chosen for its unique performance properties. Common materials include Neoprene, Silicone, Nitrile (Buna-N), and Urethane, available in various grades, thicknesses, durometers and adhesive backings. Below of descriptions of our most commonly used rubbers, and you can check our Rubber cross reference chart to find a rubber material that works for your project needs.   

Neoprene Rubber

Neoprene is a versatile, general-purpose synthetic rubber with excellent resistance to water, weather, moderate oils, and ozone. It offers solid physical strength, flexibility, and good aging characteristics. Available in both solid and closed-cell foam forms, it's commonly used in HVAC gaskets, automotive seals, marine components, and general industrial applications. Temperature range: approx. -20°F to 212°F (-29°C to 100°C).

Silicone Rubber

Silicone rubber is prized for its outstanding temperature resistance, UV and ozone stability, and non-reactivity. It stays flexible at temperatures from -80°F to 450°F (-62°C to 232°C) and is often used in high-heat environments, cleanrooms, and medical or food-grade applications. Offered in FDA-compliant grades and both solid and soft, compressible foam formats.

Nitrile Rubber (Buna-N)

Nitrile is well-known for its superior oil, fuel, and chemical resistance, making it ideal for use in hydraulic seals, fuel system gaskets, and industrial hose components. It offers good abrasion resistance and mechanical strength, and is available in solid sheet and sponge rubber grades. Suitable for environments where petroleum-based fluids are present. Temperature range: approx. -40°F to 212°F (-40°C to 100°C).

Urethane Rubber

Urethane (Polyurethane) offers excellent abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and load-bearing capacity. It bridges the gap between rubber and plastic in many demanding applications. Urethane gaskets and pads are commonly used in wear applications, impact protection, and tight-tolerance components where durability is critical. Generally supplied as solid sheet in various hardnesses. PORON® is our most commonly use Polyurethane rubber.  Temperature range: approx. -20°F to 180°F (-29°C to 82°C).
