Neoprene rubber, also known as polychloroprene or PC Rubber, is a highly versatile synthetic material renowned for its resistance to oil, petroleum, and weathering. These attributes make it an ideal choice for the automotive industry, where many exposed components must endure oil and petroleum exposure.
Beyond automotive uses, neoprene’s oil and weathering resistance, combined with its high tensile strength and low compression set, make it a cost-effective, mid-performance polymer suitable for various industries. Its balance of performance properties makes it a preferred choice for outdoor applications such as custom gaskets and seals. Industries including mass transit, wire and cable, food preparation, and construction benefit significantly from neoprene’s durability and adaptability.
