Neoprene
Overview
Neoprene is a family of synthetic rubber, which exhibits good chemical stability and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range. In terms of application, It can be classfied to SBR, CR and CS.
Q: What is Neoprence?
Neoprene is a synthetic rubber using chloroprene as the main raw material and produced through α-polymerization of chloroprene . It was first invented by DuPont in the 1930s and was originally designed to replace natural rubber.Neoprene mainly has two forms: opne cell and close cell.
Q: What are the features of Neoprence?
A:
- Softness.
- Lightweight
- Good elasticity.
- Keeping warm.
- Waterproof.
- Flame resistance.
Q: Is Neoprence recyclable?
If there is no proper recycling system, most discarded and waste Neoprene products will usually end up as general garbage in landfill or incinerator. Neoprene is not biodegradable material, and it will become a burden to the environment if not properly recycled. Through systematic recycling, discarded Neoprene products, such as diving suits, can be ground into fine particles, which can then be made into other products through polymerization and adhesion. At present, there are environmentally friendly yoga mats or follr mats made of recycled wetsuits on the market.
Applications
Neoprene is widely used in protective clothing for aquatic activities, insulated bag, cup sleeves, mouse pad, table holde or slimming corset .
