Neoprene Properties / Properties of Polychloroprene (CR)
Neoprene rubber does not has just one outstanding property, but its balance of properties is unique among the other types of synthetic rubber. It has the following properties:
- Good mechanical strength.
- High ozone and weather resistance.
- Good aging resistance.
- Low flammability.
- Chemicals resistance.
- Moderate oil and fuel resistance.
- Adhesion to many substrates.
- Polychloroprene or neoprene rubber can be vulcanized by using various accelerator systems over a varied temperature range.
- It is less resistant than natural rubber to low temperature stiffening. This helps in giving improved low temperature resistance.
- This rubber can be uses easily with mineral oils, greases, dilute acids and alkalis.
Neoprene rubber is used in various technical areas, specially in the rubber industry. It plays a vital role as a raw material for adhesives which can both solvent based and water based. It also has different latex applications (such as dipped articles (like gloves), molded foam as well as improvement of bitumen. Application areas of this elastomer are widely spread like moulded goods, cables, transmission belts, conveyor belts, profiles etc.
