polychloroprene
polymerPolychloroprene is a synthetic rubber polymer produced by free-radical polymerization of chloroprene monomer, known commercially as neoprene. It combines good elasticity with excellent chemical, oil, and weather resistance, making it a versatile engineered elastomer widely used where conventional rubbers would degrade. The material is selected in demanding applications requiring simultaneous resistance to ozone, UV exposure, petroleum products, and temperature fluctuations—properties that give it a significant advantage over natural rubber and some synthetic alternatives in industrial and consumer applications.

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
