Neoprene
What is Neoprene rubber?
Neoprene, also known as neoprene or PC rubber, is an extremely versatile synthetic rubber with oil, petroleum and weather resistance. These properties make neoprene naturally suitable for the automotive industry, where it is applied to many exposed parts that may encounter oil or petroleum.
The oil and weather resistance of neoprene also makes it ideal for several other industries that need medium-performance polymers with reasonable prices and a comprehensive balance of properties. In addition to oil and weather resistance, neoprene's high tensile strength and low compression set make it a very attractive synthetic rubber for outdoor applications such as custom gaskets and seals. Due to these factors, various markets can benefit from neoprene, including public transportation, wire and cable, food preparation and construction industries.

Features and advantages of silicone
Excellent physical toughness.
Heat and hydrocarbon oil resistance.
Resist the degradation effects of sunlight, ozone and weather.
Wider short-and long-term operating temperature range than other general-purpose hydrocarbon elastomers.
Compared with pure hydrocarbon-based elastomers, it has better flame retardant/self-extinguishing characteristics.
It can meet the strict requirements of the public transportation industry on the toxicity of smoke and flame.
Excellent resistance to damage caused by twisting and bending.
