Buna-N: 1.29
Neoprene: 1.60
EPDM: 1.44
Viton: 1.11
Silicone: < 1.29 (not sure of exact value, but it is definately less)

Interesting! What did the neoprene look like? There are so many different types... What was the hardness rating and did it have "teeth" or was it just a flat sheet of material??? If you have a picture of part number, even better!

Thanks again!
