Question

CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: Neoprene. Neoprene (also polychloroprene) is a family of synthetic rubbers that are produced by  the  polymerization of chloroprene . Neoprene exhibits good chemical stability and maintains flexibility over a wide temperature range. Neoprene is sold either as solid rubber or in latex form and is used in a wide variety of applications, such as laptop sleeves, orthopaedic braces (wrist, knee, etc.), electrical insulation , liquid and sheet applied elastomeric membranes or flashings, and automotive fan belts . A good general-purpose rubber, neoprene is valued for its high tensile strength , resilience , oil and flame resistance, and resistance to degradation by oxygen and ozone ; however, its high cost limits its use to special-properties applications.
