Da/Pro Rubber Neoprene/Chloroprene

Da/Pro Rubber Neoprene/Chloroprene is a brand name developed by DuPont Performance Elastomers. It is a name for a family of synthetic rubbers based on polychloroprene. DuPont developed this family of rubbers as an oil-resistant alternative to natural rubber.Because of these properties, neoprene rubber is useful in a variety of applications. Neoprene rubber gaskets and neoprene grommets are used in devices that are exposed to extreme chemicals and temperatures. Neoprene gaskets are often used in automotive and oil & gas industry as a seal against corrosive environments and weather elements. Neoprene grommets are used in electrical connectors in the aerospace and electronic industries. Neoprene rubber has become a popular material choice in modern applications ranging from clothing to electronic cases.
