Chloroprene rubber (CR) is a special variety of synthetic rubbers with a relatively small output. It has comprehensive features such as resistance to weather, flame, ozone, heat, cold, oil and flex, outstanding crystallization cohesion and great strength. It can be used in extremely adverse environmental conditions and its products have a very long service life. Not a single elastomer has been discovered that can fully replace CR.
