- Polychloroprene is
usually sold under the trade name Neoprene. It's especially resistant to
oil. It was the first synthetic elastomer, or rubber to be a hit
commercially. It was invented by Arnold Collins, while working under the
same fellow who invented nylon, Wallace Carothers. Neoprene
polychloroprene is an extremely versatile synthetic rubber with more
than 75 years of proven performance in a broad industry spectrum.
- The basic chemical
composition of Neoprene synthetic rubber is polychloroprene. Neoprene
liquid dispersions are aqueous, colloidal dispersions of polychloroprene
or copolymers of chloroprene and other monomers such as methacrylic acid
or 2,3 dichloro 1,3-butadiene. They are available in both anionic and
non-ionic forms.
- Chloroprene was
produced by the older “acetylene process”. This process has the
disadvantages of being very energy-intensive and having high investment
costs. Polymerization of chloroprene produces polychloroprene. It is
possible to polymerize chloroprene by anionic, cationic and
Ziegler-Natta catalysis techniques.
- Contact glues and
adhesives developed from polychloroprene elastomers occupy an important
place among all methods ever developed. The application of
polychloroprene requires addition of metallic oxides (zinc oxides, in
the presence of magnesium oxides if required). Different types of resins
are used in polychloroprene glues and adhesives. The basic resins used
in glues and polychloroprene adhesives are phenolic reactive
resins
- Adhesives based on
Neoprene polychloroprene in both aqueous and solvent forms have a long,
successful history for contact adhesives, lamination, foam bonding and
pressure sensitive applications. Neoprene polychloroprene has been the
industry workhorse for underhood, chassis and adhesives applications.
Neoprene in applications such as CVJ boots, hose covers, air springs,
power transmission belts and adhesives attests to the staying power of
this durable elastomer as a viable engineering material for automotive
systems.
- Polychloroprene-based
adhesives provide outstanding toughness, chemical resistance, weathering
resistance, heat resistance, oil and chemical resistance, as well as
very rapid bond strength development. In contact adhesive applications,
they develop an “instant bond” which allows assembled components to be
immediately processed without clamping or fixturing.
- The U.S. shoe industry
was the first major market penetrated by polychloroprene contact
adhesives. Although this market has declined in the U.S. during the past
1-15 years, the shoe industry still represents a major consumer of
polychloroprene adhesives on a worldwide basis. This resin
classification market report on polychloroprene estimates 2003 demand
with a historical perspective back to 2000 as well as forecasts through
2005 and 2010 within the U.S. Adhesives Industry.
- Makers of neoprene
fabric in Taiwan are taking steps to generate more overseas orders by
releasing designs that have more applications, including for household
and office items, fashion accessories and clothing. The move to expand
neoprene's product base comes after Taiwan's export sales dropped 11
percent in the first nine months of 2005 compared with the same period
of the previous year.
- Makers of neoprene
fabric in Taiwan offer mostly midrange and high-end models, but low-end
designs are also produced. Midrange models are priced between $20 and
$30 per sheet, while high-end versions are $30 to $50. Low-end designs
go for $10 to $20. A Company offers neoprene for wetsuits and
sportswear.
- It is determined that
revocation of the antidumping finding on polychloroprene rubber from
Japan would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material
injury to the U.S. polychloroprene rubber industry within a reasonably
foreseeable time. The conditions in the U.S. polychloroprene rubber
(“PCR”) market have undergone significant changes. Most importantly,
U.S. demand for PCR has declined.
