Da/Pro Rubber can custom compound a variety of rubber materials. Neoprene 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.
Neoprene Rubber has a wide range of beneficial properties including: resistance to ozone and other weather elements, resistance to oils and other chemicals, is useful over a wide temperature range, resists tears or damage caused by flexing and twisting, resists burning better than exclusively hydrocarbon rubbers. | |

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. | |
