Chlororpene/Neoprene Specifications
Chloroprene is a versatile material used for a wide range of applications.
Chloroprene is a synthetic rubber produced by polymerizing chlorine-containing monomers and unsaturated carbon bonds known for its versatility and durability. The properties of Chloroprene, also knows by the brand name Neoprene, has a good balance of tensile strength, tear strength, and abrasion resistance. It is also resistant to water, oil and UV rays, making it a suitable material for indoor or outdoor use. Temperature Range: Neoprene has a relatively wide temperature range, with a usable range of -40°F to +250°F (-40°C to +121°C). It can also retain its flexibility in cold temperatures, making it a good choice for use in cold climates.
Neoprene is resistant to many chemicals, including gasoline, oil, and acids, but it is not resistant to all chemicals. It is important to consult a chemical compatibility chart to determine the suitability of neoprene for your specific application. Neoprene is not naturally flame resistant and will burn when exposed to an open flame.
Chloroprene is a good electrical insulator properties and is often used in electrical applications, such as wire and cable insulation. In general, chloroprene is a strong and versatile material suitable for a wide range of applications. It is resistant to water, oil and ultraviolet light, has a wide temperature range, and has good physical and electrical properties.
