Neoprene
  • Also known as polychloroprene
  • Developed during the 1930s
  • Extremely versatile synthetic rubber
  • Originally developed as an oil-resistant
    substitute for natural rubber
  • Also found in liquid state

3
Advantages
  • Good resistance to ozone, sunlight and severe
    weather conditions
  • Performs well in contact with oils and a
    diversity chemicals
  • Remains functional over a large temperature range
  • Shows great physical toughness
  • Resists burning better than most hydrocarbon
    rubbers
  • Outstanding resistance to fracture caused by
    bending and twisting

4
Applications
Belts
Gaskets
Wetsuits
Protective covers
Others
Gloves
Insulation

Medicine Use
  • Neoprene Suit May Save Women's Lives with
    Obstetrical hemorrhage ( refers to heavy bleeding
    during pregnancy)
  • How?
  • provides compression to the abdominal cavity
  • The compression realized by the suit moves blood
    from the inferior extremities and abdominal area
    to the vital organs

6
Wetsuit
  • Neoprene suit traps water between the suit and
    the person's skin
  • Body heat warms the water against the skin which
    helps to reduce heat loss from the body
  • For this matter a person can stay longer in cold
    water
  • Neoprene is also buoyant which helps the scuba
    diver to float in the water
