NEOPRENE RUBBER SHEETS

Neoprene is a family of synthetic rubbers that have been designed and manufactured by the free-radical polymerization of chloroprene. The neoprene rubber has an excellent chemical stability and remains flexible even at very high or low temperatures.

The Nitrile rubber is manufactured by the copolymerization of 2-propenenitrile with butadiene monomers such as 1, 2- butadiene or 1, 3- butadiene. The Nitrile PROPERTIES :
• Neoprene sheets have excellent chemical endurance.
• They maintain flexibility over a wide range of temperatures.
• Resistance towards weather, ozone and sun degradation.
• Resistance against oils and oxidation.
• It has extreme resistance towards flame because of the chloroprene content.
USES

General uses of neoprene:
• It is widely used in gaskets, hoses, and corrosion resistant coating.
• It is used as a base for adhesives.
• It is used in power transformers for noise isolation.
• It can also be used as padding in metal cases to protect the contents inside it.
• It is used for weather stripping for fire doors and in combat attires such as gloves and mask.
