Polychoroprene (Neoprene) Rubber Latex

Polychoroprene (Neoprene)

Polychloroprene is a synthetic rubber first produced in 1931. It is a very favourable
material due to its good balance of technical properties and is used in a wide variety
of applications in industries including automotive, aerospace, motorsport and
building. Temperature range (dry heat) is approximately -40°C – 120°C.
