Neoprene (CR) Selection Guide

Chloroprene was the first synthetic rubber, and was developed commercially under the name Neoprene®. Chloroprene rubbers, O-rings, gaskets, & custom molded parts contain Chlorine in the polymer to reduce the reactivity to many oxidizing agents, as well as to oil and flame. The materials, O-rings, gaskets, & custom molded parts exhibit generally good ozone, aging, and chemical resistance. Chloroprene O-rings, gaskets, & custom molded parts also have relatively high tensile strength, as well as good abrasion and tear resistance. Chloroprene compounds, O-rings, gaskets, & custom molded parts are suitable for use in heating and air conditioning systems (HVAC), refrigeration units and numerous dynamic applications.
