Polychloroprene (CR; aka Neoprene) has good all-round properties, resists degradation from sun, ozone and weather. Typical applications include wetsuits and professional diving suits, gloves, refrigeration seals, gaskets, hoses and car fan belts.

• Good all-round properties
• Resists degradation from sun, ozone and weather
• Performs well in contact with oils and many chemicals
• Remains useful over a wide temperature range
• Displays outstanding physical toughness
• Resists burning inherently better than exclusively hydrocarbon rubbers
• Outstanding resistance to damage caused by flexing and twisting

• Attacked by strong oxidizing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated, aromatic and nitro hydrocarbons
• Limited flexibility at low temperatures
