synthetic material used in motorcyclist equipment due to its insulation and waterproof qualities.
Trade name of the Dupont Co. for the original poly-chloroprene (CR) rubber and latex.
Lightweight rubber used in joint and muscle sleeves designed to provide support and/or insulation and heat retention to the area.
Neoprene is truly a jack-of-all-trades material. Originally designed as an oil-resistant alternative to natural rubber, researchers quickly discovered that this marvelous material could be used in an almost limitless number of applications. Widely known as the basic component in wet suits, neoprene is also used in electrical insulation, fan belts, gaskets, noise insulation pads and even seat covers.
Neoprene is a synthetic ruber made by polimerizing the compound 2-chlorobuta-1,2-diene. Neoprene is often used in place of natural rubber in applications requiring resistance to chemical attack.
A synthetic rubber material that provides excellent tensile strength and heat resistance. Neoprene is compatible with some acids and caustics. It has moderate abrasion resistance.
A synthetic rubber having physical properties closely resembling those of natural rubber but not requiring sulfur for vulcanization. Extremely good weather resistance, both heat and cold, with ultraviolet stability.
Flexible foam rubber used for paddling clothing among other things. Air bubbles in the construction make it buoyant and a good insulator. Neoprene used for paddle clothing and wetsuits is usually coated with Lycra® spandex on one or both sides.
Versatlie type of synthetic rubber with a good resistance to oil, chemicals, and flames.
A synthetic rubber having physical properties closely resembling those of natural rubber. It is made by polymerizing chloroprenes, which are produced from acetylene and hydrogen chloride.
(chemical identification: chloroprene-CR): is a polymer chloroprene rubber known for its resistance to oil, gasoline, sunlight, ozone and oxidation. ItÕs ability to combine all of these properties make it an excellent general purpose polymer for most applications.
A synthetic rubber (polychlorophrene) used in fluid or sheet-applied elastomeric roofing membranes or flashing. See also Hypalon.
Natural rubber, non-synthetic. A durable elastomeric material with moderate chemical resistance. Go to top
An oil-resistant substitute for natural rubber, developed by DuPont. Used as a coating; very resistant to a broad range of chemicals, especially alkalis and acids
A polychloroprene elastomer developed as a thin layer of closed cell foam.
A polymer of chloroprene which is prepared from coal, salt and limestone.
A generic name for a type of synthetic rubber.
A synthetic rubber produced by polymerization of Chloroprene for use in liquid-applied and sheet-applied elastomeric roofing.
Durable synthetic rubber; very resistant to oil or sweat.
Also called "polychloroprene," it is a synthetic rubber that has good resistance to chemical, oil and flame.
A stretchy rubberized material encased in nylon that offers incredible warmth and insulation. Neoprene is primarily used for diver's wetsuits but has also found its way into many types of active wear.
A rubber-like plastic acquired through the polymerization of chloroprene. Resists degradation from sun, ozone and weather. Performs well in contact with oils and many chemicals. Remains useful over a wide temperature range and has a physical toughness.
