Neoprene, also known as chloroprene rubber (CR), is a versatile synthetic elastomer valued for its balanced combination of mechanical strength, weatherability, chemical resistance, and flame resistance. It offers good performance across a broad temperature range and maintains flexibility, resilience, and durability under demanding conditions.
Key Properties:
Excellent weather, ozone, and aging resistance
Good oil, fuel, and chemical resistance
Naturally flame retardant due to chlorine content
Strong mechanical properties and abrasion resistance
Good adhesion to metals and fabrics
Common Applications:
Industrial and automotive hoses, belts, and gaskets
Wire and cable jacketing
Protective gear (gloves, wetsuits, padding)
Adhesives and sealants
Vibration and noise isolation components
