Neoprene rubber is a black colored rubber that is used in applications where moderate levels of oil, petroleum, ozone, and weathering-resistance are needed. Neoprene elastomers are very popular due to the broad range of applications in which they can be used. It can be considered as a good general purpose rubber with an excellent balance of physical and chemical properties. It has better chemical, oil, ozone and heat resistance than natural rubber but a rather lower level of physical properties. It’s gas permeability is fairly low and flame resistance is excellent. Neoprene are one of the few rubbers that are self-extinguishing. Neoprene gives excellent rubber-metal bonds and good resilience. Neoprene is mostly used because of its wide range of useful properties and reasonable price.
