What Are Neoprene Shims?

Neoprene rubber shims are durable, flexible spacers or gaskets made from a synthetic elastomer that resists oil, water, ozone, and aging. Known for their versatility, neoprene shims provide excellent cushioning, noise reduction, and environmental sealing in both indoor and outdoor environments.

They’re available in a range of durometers (hardness levels) and thicknesses to match your system’s exact requirements — from soft compressible grades to firm structural spacers.

Every neoprene shim from Oleumfield Tech is CNC-cut to exact dimensions, ensuring consistency and accuracy across each part. We handle both small-batch prototypes and high-volume production runs, offering fast lead times and reliable results.

Our capabilities include:

  • Custom thicknesses from 1/32” to ½”

  • Flat or contoured shapes cut from your CAD file or sample

  • Adhesive-backed options for easy installation

  • Tight tolerances for critical mechanical alignment

Excellent vibration and shock absorption

Neoprene’s elastic structure absorbs impact and reduces noise in mechanical and industrial equipment.

Weather and ozone resistance

Performs reliably in outdoor environments, resisting cracking, swelling, and UV degradation.

Oil and chemical resistance

Handles moderate exposure to oils, coolants, and cleaning agents without losing flexibility.

Durable and versatile

Offers long-lasting performance across temperature ranges of -20°F to 200°F, ideal for both interior and exterior applications.

Oleumfield Tech is a trusted manufacturer of Neoprene Shims

Neoprene shims are flexible, weather-resistant spacing components made from durable synthetic rubber, ideal for vibration dampening, insulation, and precision alignment. Known for their excellent resistance to oil, grease, UV, ozone, and moderate chemicals, neoprene shims are commonly used in HVAC systems, automotive assemblies, marine environments, electrical equipment, and industrial machinery.

These shims are effective for isolating components, absorbing shock, and accommodating slight irregularities in surfaces. Their compressibility and resilience make them perfect for applications where both cushioning and spacing are required.

At Oleumfield Tech, we custom-cut neoprene shims using CNC precision technology, offering a wide range of thicknesses and configurations to meet your exact project specifications.
