CR is created by emulsion polymerization of chloroprene. It is a multi-purpose rubber that provides a balanced combination of properties. It is widely known for its good resistance to fire and outstanding toughness.
Salient Features:
Aging and ozone resistant
Cold flexibility
Good resistance to ammonia and refrigerants
Common Applications:
Automotive industry
Cable and wire industry
Gaskets for air condition systems
Oil, heat, and flame resistant applications
Properties:
Hardness: 40-80 Shore A
Temperature resistance: -35 °C to + 100 °C
Standard colors: Black
Advantages:
CR is known for its resilience, resistance to degradation by ozone and oxygen, high tensile strength, and oil and flame resistance.
It performs well in ammonia, aniline point mineral oil, silicone oils and grease, water, and refrigerants.
Limitations:
CR compounds are prone to esters, chlorinated hydrocarbons, ketones, ethers, aromatic hydrocarbons, and strong oxidizing acids.
