Chloroprene Rubber

The Superior Choice for Windshield Wipers and Air Springs

Mitsui Plastics
For Critical Automotive Components with Advanced CR Technology

Maximize Reliability and Performance

Chloroprene Rubber (CR) is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in two of the most demanding automotive applications: windshield wipers and air springs. CR’s outstanding resistance to heat, ozone, and weathering ensures long-lasting reliability for components exposed to harsh environments and temperature fluctuations.

For windshield wipers, CR provides the flexibility, abrasion resistance, and UV protection needed for clear visibility and extended service life. Its ability to blend with other rubbers allows manufacturers to achieve optimal silence, durability, and low-temperature performance.

In air springs, CR’s low gas permeability and balanced physical properties help maintain air pressure and integrity, even when installed near heat-generating parts like tires. The result is enhanced longevity and reliability for air suspension systems, supporting a smoother and safer ride.
