Neoprene
Neoprene is the trade name for a group of synthetic rubbers based on polychloroprene. Polychloroprene is composed of chloroprene, acetylene, and hydrochloric acid. Adding components to the chemical structure of neoprene produces a wide range of chemical properties. Aquaseal’s material selection and formulation process results in the superior performance of any rubber part.
Neoprene rubber was originally developed as an oil-resistant alternative to natural rubber. Neoprene rubber is resistant to ozone, sunlight, oxidation and many petroleum derivatives. Water resistance, chemical resistance, resilience, and high tensile strength features are just a few of the added benefits of this material. The operational temperature range for neoprene rubber is -40° to + 100°C.
The versatility of this rubber has proven useful in a wide range of applications. Common uses neoprene rubber in industrial applications such as gaskets, hoses, and corrosion-resistant coatings.
