Advantages Of CR Rubber
- CR Rubber was one of the world’s first oil-resistant synthetic rubbers. This general-purpose rubber has an excellent balance of physical and chemical properties that make it suitable in a range of applications.
-
Disadvantages Of CR Rubber
-
As you may expect from its widespread use for underwater wear, including wetsuits and diving costumes, Neoprene® is water-resistant. However, whilst this is suitable for underwater clothing, Neoprene® also exhibits poor electrical properties.
-
- This product offers high levels of resistance to chemicals and ozone.
- Note : Use in contact with hydrocarbons and organic solvents is to be avoided.
