NEOPRENE (Chloroprene Rubber) Product Overview
NEOPRENE is a versatile synthetic rubber introduced in the early 20th century and proven through decades of industrial use.
It was developed to overcome natural rubber’s limited oil resistance, and its unique balance of properties keeps it widely adopted across many industries today.
Excellent oil & chemical resistance: Highly resistant to waxes, fats, lubricants, and most petroleum products
Good resistance to alkalis and diluted acids/salts
Weathering & ozone resistance: Long-term UV and environmental aging stability
Water resistance & burial durability: No corrosion or degradation during long-term immersion or underground use
Stable mechanical strength: Strong resistance to bending, twisting, and compression set
High-temperature: Continuous 80–95°C, intermittent up to 120°C
Does not melt at high temperatures; excessive heat may cause hardening or loss of elasticity
Low-temperature: Usable from –20°C to –25°C; special grades function at –55°C
