NEOPRENE (Chloroprene Rubber) — Product Overview
NEOPRENE is a versatile synthetic rubber developed in the early 20th century and validated through decades of use across thousands of industrial applications.
It was designed to overcome the limited oil resistance of natural rubber, and its unique property balance continues to support its global usage today.
Excellent oil & chemical resistance: Highly resistant to waxes, fats, lubricants, and most petroleum products
Good alkali and diluted acid/salt resistance
Weathering & ozone resistance: Long-term UV and environmental aging durability
Water resistance & burial durability: Does not corrode or degrade under long-term immersion or soil exposure
Stable mechanical strength: Strong bending, twisting, and compression-set resistance
High-temperature: Continuous 80–95°C, intermittent up to 120°C
Does not melt under heat; excessive temperature may cause hardening or loss of elasticity
Low-temperature: Functional at –20°C to –25°C with minimal property change
Special grades operate in –55°C extreme cold
