Neoprene Rubber is composed of polymerized chloroprene. This is also known as polychloroprene. Due to the cross linking of polymers like carbon, hydrogen and chlorine; neoprene has great properties like chemical inertness, resistance nature to oil, water and solvents.
Neoprene rubber has more gas permeation resistant property when compared with natural rubber. And the products made out of neoprene have the capacity to tolerate high temperature range of up to 200 degree Fahrenheit. Below zero degrees Fahrenheit, neoprene gets stiff and hard. Neoprene works well with other materials and bonded with metals, steel, aluminium, etc. It has also very low oxidation rate.
Applications
- Power transformers
- Wetsuits
- Diving suits
- Gloves
- Knee brace
- Rubber sheets
- Vibration pads
- Face mask
Apart from these applications, neoprene rubber belts are effective in reduce fat and helps in body fitness.
