CR 60 B 3 F1 [C5985] general-purpose rubber has an excellent balance of physical and chemical properties that make it suitable in a range of applications. Whilst it may only have a moderate resistance to petroleum-based oil and fuels, CR has a much better chemical, oil, ozone and heat resistance than natural rubber, despite the lower level of physical properties. One major benefit of Neoprene® rubber is that by nature, CR rubber is one of the few self-extinguishing rubbers, which means it is flame resistance. Additionally, its gas permeability is relatively low. For industrial applications, Neoprene® gives excellent rubber-metal bonding and has good levels of rebound resilience. This compound lends itself to being fabricated into many different products with fabric reinforcement.Outstanding physical toughness Wider short- and long-term operating temperature range than general-purpose hydrocarbon elastomersResistance to hydrocarbon oils and heat (ASTM D2000/SAE J200 categories BC/BE)Resistance to ozone, sun and weatherBetter flame retardant/self-extinguishing characteristics than exclusively hydrocarbon-based elastomersAs with all elastomers, properties inherent in the base polymer can be enhanced or degraded by compounding with additional ingredients
