CR - Chloroprene rubber
Chloroprene rubber (CR), also known as neoprene rubber, is a synthetic elastomer characterised by its resistance to oils, chemicals and weathering. It is also known for its good mechanical strength and heat resistance, making it suitable for applications where these properties are required.
Limitations of chloroprene rubber include its limited resistance to strong acids and oils over the long term, which can affect its longevity in some applications.
The material is commonly used in the automotive industry for seals and hoses, as well as in the manufacture of protective clothing, footwear and water sports equipment due to its flexibility and weather resistance.
