Applications:

  • Applied as the main ingredient in the manufacture of products like hoses, belts and gaskets.

  • It offers high tensile strength and dimensional stability of the material in the finished product.

  • Excellent for making seals and gaskets because it is immune to the effects of oil, chemicals, and temperature changes.

  • Provides durability and reliability in automotive, industrial, and marine industries.

  • It is used in the manufacturing of wetsuits, protective gloves, and other protective clothing and accessories.

  • Provides good thermal comfort and is rather flexible, thus being appropriate for water usage and cold climates.

  • Used as a binder in adhesives and coatings due to its adhesion ability and resistance to chemicals.

  • Improves the adhesion characteristics and performance of adhesive formulations.

  • Applied in conveyor belts, vibration mounts, and other industrial parts and components.

  • They can offer high wear resistance and impact-resistance in severe working conditions.

Packing

Chloroprene rubber is mainly supplied in the form of bales, sheets or pellets to ease handling and processing during production processes.
