Natural Rubber vs. Neoprene: Choosing the Compound Behind the Mount
Natural rubber is the default for most industrial vibration mounts because nothing beats it for resilience, fatigue life and isolation. Neoprene takes over when constant oil contact, outdoor exposure, ozone or heat above 180°F rule natural rubber out. This guide covers where each compound’s limits are and five questions that settle the choice.
