Polychloroprene

Polychloroprene is a synthetic rubber. It is a linear α-polymer made from 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene by emulsion polymerization. It is used as a vulcanizer and has improved heat aging resistance. It is comparable to natural rubber in physical and mechanical properties, and has oil resistance, solvent resistance, oxidation resistance, aging resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, heat resistance, flame resistance and flex resistance that natural rubber and other general synthetic rubbers do not have. It can be used as both general rubber and special rubber, and is used to manufacture rubber products such as conveyor belts, hoses, printing rubber rollers, cables and aircraft fuel tanks.
