What is Resonac Chloroprene?

Resonac Chloroprene is a Chloroprene rubber, also known as “Neoprene rubber”. Resonac Chloroprene rubber (CR) It is a type of synthetic rubber used as Elastomer in many industries with a wide range of applications, such as automotive (belts and hoses), construction (waterproofing and sealing), adhesives, or wire and cables. The properties of Resonac Chloroprene are highlighted by a high resistance to sunlight, ozone, flame, weathering, many oils and chemicals, low and high temperatures, and toughness against abrasion or general wear. These versatile properties have long been the key to Resonac Chloroprene’s utility as a multi-purpose rubber. Our product is available in over 30 grades, produced as either dry chips or aqueous dispersions (Latex).

About LATEX (Liquid Dispersions)

Resonac Chloroprene latices are emulsions of polymerized chloroprene dispersed in water; containing emulsifying agents and stabilizers.
Our latices are viscous off-white liquids which solid contents are ranged from 42% to 60%.¬ Resonac Chloroprene latex is available in over 15 different grades, each tailored to meet the requirements of specific end uses.

Construction
Resonac Chloroprene latex for contact adhesives offer exceptional bonding properties for various materials such as rubber, leather, and fabric. Its versatility and strong adhesive strength make it ideal for applications in automotive assembly or shoe manufacturing.
Resonac Chloroprene latex is also tailored for road applications and maintains a superior elasticity when mixed with bitumen emulsion, along with enhanced weather and ozone resistance, superior water resistance, reduced flammability and heightened mechanical resilience compared to halogen-free polymers.
