General Information
Neoprene is the trade name given to polymers made up of chloroprene. Neoprene a wide range of uses. Its excellent ageing properties when exposed to ozone and atmospheric agents, in addition to its good resistance to abrasion and bending, have resulted in its being used as an all-purpose rubber. Neoprene is resistant to acids and alkalis, is flame retardant and suitable for use with petroleum-based oils. It is characterised by good resistance to bending, excellent resistance to fatigue and strong resistance to outdoor weather conditions and ozone. Its excellent adherence to metals make it ideal for moulding with metal inserts. Neoprene is not effective in contact with aromatic and oxygenated solvents.

Sleeves
We manufacture vulcanised sleeves in any type of rubber (SBR, NBR, EPDM, silicone, Viton, brown natural rubber, etc.) using a hot-vulcanising technique to form a bevel joint, which is more flexible, long-lasting and smoother than other joints.
