The benefits and advantages of using neoprene
· Outstanding physical toughness
· Resistance to heat and hydrocarbon oils
· Resistance to the degradation effects of sun, ozone and weather
· Wider short and long-term operating temperature range than other general-purpose hydrocarbon elastomers
· Better flame retardant/self-extinguishing characteristics than exclusively hydrocarbon-based elastomers
· Outstanding resistance to damage caused by twisting and flexing
· Compoundability: Neoprene's polymer structure can be modified to create a material compound with a wide range of chemical and physical properties
