Neoprene , also known as chloroprene rubber or polychloroprene, is a type of foamed synthetic rubber made through the polymerization of chloroprene. It exhibits a high level of chemical inertness, mechanical strength, low flammability, along with superior thermal, oil, water, and solvent resistance. On account of these beneficial properties, neoprene can be used as a raw material in the production of adhesives, conveyor belts, molded goods and cables. When compared to natural rubber, neoprene offers better gas permeation resistant and has better tolerance towards high temperatures up to 200 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Moreover, it is easier to produce and is preferred in applications where improved material properties are required. Neoprene first came into existence during the 1930s when an increase in the demand for natural rubber led to the discovery of its synthetic equivalent. Wallace Carothers, a chemist in the fundamental research group of DuPont, discovered neoprene during a...
