Neoprene is made from polychloroprene rubber. It is highly resistant to the effects of ozone, oxygen, weathering, heat, and chemicals. Neoprene is waterproof and self-extinguishing. It is the ideal elastomer, offering the best resistance to the combination of various potentially harmful substances such as oil and ozone or heat and oil. It can be used in highly oxidizing environments, including ozone, active oxygen, and/or free radicals. It is resistant to natural aging. Neoprene offers increased resistance to ozone, petroleum-based chemicals, and heat and oil, while maintaining good flexibility
