Neoprene (CR)

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
