Chloroprene Rubber (CR)
Chloroprene Rubber (CR) refers to elastomers based on chloroprene polymer chemistry. Polymer chemistry, molecular structure and compounding establish cure and service behaviour; finished-part performance requires the full formulation.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
Chloroprene rubber (hereinafter: CR; synonym: polychloroprene or sometimes Neoprene) is a synthetic rubber produced by polymerization of chloroprene. It is an artificially-made polymer acting as an elastomer. Chloroprene rubber exhibits good chemical stability, and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range. It is used in a wide variety of applications, such as laptop sleeves, orthopedic braces (wrist, knee, etc.), electrical insulation, liquid and sheet applied elastomeric membranes or flashings, and automotive fanbelts.
For this subject, the supplied object is elastomers based on chloroprene polymer chemistry. Compare monomer composition, molecular weight and cure system before finished hardness. Fillers, plasticisers and crosslink density alter compression set, swelling and low-temperature behaviour. A liquid reactive rubber is a formulation ingredient rather than a finished solid elastomer; assess the complete cured compound under the actual media and load conditions.
What turns activity into demand
Qualified formulations connect polymer content and process yield to accepted elastomer parts. Raw polymer, compound and converted-part demand must be tracked at their respective supply stages.
The commercial boundary
Polymer chemistry, cure and application are intersecting dimensions. Count raw elastomer or compounded material explicitly; finished seals or tyres cannot be added to polymer shipments without a material balance.
Why is the polymer name insufficient for a compound decision?
For this subject, the supplied object is elastomers based on chloroprene polymer chemistry. Compare monomer composition, molecular weight and cure system before finished hardness. Fillers, plasticisers and crosslink density alter compression set, swelling and low-temperature behaviour. A liquid reactive rubber is a formulation ingredient rather than a finished solid elastomer; assess the complete cured compound under the actual media and load conditions.
