Chloroprene Rubber

Chloroprene Rubber (CR) is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in automotive and industrial applications. CR’s outstanding resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering ensures long-lasting reliability for components exposed to harsh environments and temperature fluctuations.

Key Benefits of CR:

• Resists degradation from sun, ozone, and weather
• Performs well in contact with oils and many chemicals
• Remains useful over a wide temperature range
• Displays outstanding physical toughness
• Offers greater resistance to burning than hydrocarbon rubbers
• Provides low gas permeability
• Outperforms natural rubber in durability, enhancing component lifespan

For windshield wiper blades, CR is used in high-quality blades. CR can be used alone or blended with other rubbers to provide excellent UV, ozone, rain, and high temperature resistance. Several formulation options enable manufacturers to tailor performance needs, achieving quiet operation and strong durability.

CR allows automotive belts to withstand repeated bending and dynamic loading over long service life. Its high heat and abrasion resistance help maintain performance under demanding operating conditions and continuous contact with pulleys. In addition, CR offers good adhesion to fibers and textiles, ensuring robust bonding and structural integrity in reinforced belt constructions.
