Neoprene is a good general-purpose rubber

　　and is valued for its

　　high tensile strength

　　resilience

　　oil and flame resistance

　　and resistance to degradation by oxygen and ozone

　　Neoprene (CR) , also called polychloroprene or chloroprene rubber, synthetic rubber produced by the polymerization (or linking together of single molecules into giant, multiple-unit molecules) of chloroprene.

　　History of Neoprene

　　One of the first successful synthetic rubbers, polychloroprene was first prepared in 1930 by Arnold Collins, an American chemist in Wallace Hume Carothers’s research group at E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company (now DuPont Company ), while investigating by-products of divinylacetylene. DuPont marketed the material as Neoprene, a trademarked name that has since become generic.Neoprene is widely used in hydraulic seal.
