What is Neoprene?
Neoprene, also known as polychloroprene, is a synthetic rubber made by the free radical polymerization of chloroprene and is used in a wide variety of applications. It was first introduced by DuPont and was used by the U.S. military during World War II the following decade. Although it is one of the earliest synthetic rubbers, it is still very popular today. Neoprene has a wide range of applications due to its strong physical properties, chemical resistance, and flame retardancy. Neoprene is typically molded by injection molding, transfer molding, or compression molding.
Properties of Neoprene
Neoprene has many excellent properties that make it a widely used synthetic rubber. As with any polymer, there are some disadvantages to consider when considering using Neoprene for your application. Click here to learn more about how to choose the right type of rubber to manufacture your product.
Common Applications of Neoprene
Neoprene is a very commonly used rubber polymer that has a wide range of uses. It is resistant to water, fire, ozone, sunlight, and many other chemicals, making it a very versatile material. These applications include refrigeration seals, Freon/air conditioning, engine mounts, engine coolant, oil and chemical tank linings, automotive gaskets and seals, and weather stripping.
Other examples of neoprene applications include:
Water Sports(Chloroprene Rubber SN-242A). Neoprene is commonly used in wetsuits due to its waterproof and insulating properties. It is also used in a variety of equipment for scuba diving, fishing, surfing, boating, and other water sports.
Everyday Use(Chloroprene Rubber SN-241). Neoprene is used in many household items we use every day, including mouse pads, smartphone cases, laptop bags, remote controls, dishwashing gloves, and even musical instruments.
Face Masks(Chloroprene Rubber SN-243). During the COVID-19 pandemic, neoprene was found to be an effective material for making face masks. Since then, many manufacturers have used it to produce protective masks.
