Chemical Designation: Chloroprene (CR)

Molded neoprene rubber is an all-purpose resilient polymer/elastomer because it provides resistance to corrosion from chemicals. Neoprene demonstrates resilience, tear resistance and tensile strength. Additionally, it is abrasion resistant and has admirable compression set properties. 

Although Neoprene is resistant to oil, gasoline, sunlight, the ozone and oxidation, other polymers have better resistance to these same elements.
