rubber-neoprene

Properties and Resistance

Neoprene, i.e. chloroprene rubber (CR), is characterized by high mechanical strength, resistance to water, abrasion and elongation, which makes it highly effective in protecting against damage and suitable for outdoor use throughout the year.

Temperature Range and Fire Resistance

Functional within a temperature range of −40 °C to +110 °C, with short-term exposure up to +130 °C (self-extinguishing). Resistant to wear, ageing and ozone exposure.

Chemical Resistance

Performs well in contact with diluted acids and alkalis, mineral oils, greases, refrigerants (freon), ammonia, alcohols and glycols. Shows reduced resistance when exposed to strong acids, petrol, and solvents (acetone, esters, ketones).

Industrial and Ergonomic Applications

• Anti-slip mats and workshop coverings

• Components used in electronics, automotive, food processing and agriculture industries

• Gaskets, pads, linings and vibration-damping elements

Neoprene absorbs vibrations and noise, improving safety and workplace comfort.

Clothing and Sports Applications

Processed neoprene is used in sportswear and diving suits, providing thermal insulation and elasticity.

Format and Hardness

Available in rolls and sheets of various thicknesses. Hardness on the Shore A scale is approximately 65 ShA, providing greater durability than natural rubber.
