Our extruder was bought by another company and closed down the plant that made a set of profiles for us. I am trying to find another source to extrude the following material, but have not had any luck. The material is closed cell polychloroprene (neoprene). The extrusion has one hollow in the middle and the circle size ranges from 1" diameter to 5" diameter circle. I am also open to any other materials besides closed cell polychloroprene that meet the following physical properties.

Tensile Strength, min. 125psi
Per ASTM D-412

Elongation Break min. 200%
Per ASTM D-412

Compression Deflection 5-9psi
Per ASTM D-1056

Hardness Shore”00” 35-65
Per ASTM D-2240

Water Absorption (by weight) 5%
Per ASTM D-1056

Density (pcf) Average 12-25
Per ASTM D-1056

Compression Set (Average %)-1/2” Compressed 50% for 22 hrs 70°F - 24hr Recovery 15-25
Per ASTM D-1056

Thank you in advance for your help.
