CHLOROPRENE RUBBER

Description: One of the earliest of the synthetic materials to be developed as an oil-resistant substitute for Natural Rubber.

Application: Numerous component uses in the transportation field. Recommended for exposure to weathering. Preferred sealing material for refrigeration industry. FDA approved for food & beverage industry use.

Working temperature (from-to): from -40 to +120°C

Hardness Shore A: 50-80

Characteristic: Chloroprene can be used in innumerable sealing applications due to its broad base of such desirable working properties as: good resistance to petroleum oils; good resistance to ozone, sunlight and oxygen aging; relatively low compression set; good resilience; outstanding physical toughness; and reasonable production cost. Due to its excellent resistance to Freon® and ammonia, Neoprene is also widely accepted as a preferred material for refrigeration seals.

Products using this material: Flange coupler gaskets for water appliance,
