Neoprene is a type of synthetic rubber. Neoprene rubber was developed in the 1930s. Since then, it has been incorporated into numerous products popular in daily life, from wetsuits to protective gear. Neoprene has a variety of properties that make it quite useful, including being abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, waterproof, somewhat stretchable and buoyant.

The many unique qualities of neoprene make it useful in a number of popular products. One of the most popular and visible uses of neoprene is with wetsuits. In wetsuits, neoprene traps water between the wetsuit and the wearer's skin. Body heat warms the water against the skin, which works to reduce heat loss from the body. This reduced heat loss allows someone to comfortably stay in colder water for a longer time. It can also be quite buoyant in the water. Many sports enthusiasts use neoprene wetsuits, including scuba divers, surfers and windsurfers.

Physical indicators

The product has a good “memory” that you can crumple the material optionally, will not be deformed and do not leave the imprint. The rubber have a good shockproof performance, adhesion and sealing performance, and is widely used in household appliances in the seal and preventing shock, mobile phone and packages, can cooler, shoemaking. Therefore, the product has good flexibility and slip resistant, softness.

Chemical properties

the chlorine atom and the double bonds of Chloroprene rubber structure are not lively and Chemical reaction is not easy to happen. Therefore, it is general used on products required resisting chemistry ability, anti-aging, against chapping. The rubber is stable, innocuous, used for diving material , personal Protection &Self Defense, gloves, Calisthenics product. The rubber has a good fire-retardant and is safe,reliable. It is used for the fire-retardant cables, fire-retardant hose, fire-retardant conveyor belt, bridge bearings and other fire-retardant plastic pieces. The rubber has a good water and oil resistance. Pipeline and conveyor belt adopt this rubber.
