This is a high quality compound with a guaranteed active polymer content of between 20 - 30% - This means it wil last longer than "Economy" grades.
Chloroprene Rubber (CR), widely known as Neoprene, was one of the original
oil resistant synthetic rubbers. However, it has only moderate
resistance to petroleum based oils and fuels.
Neoprene is a very versatile polymer and has a number of uses from sealing gaskets to weather strip. It can be considered as a
good general purpose rubber with an excellent balance of physical and
chemical properties.
It has better chemical, oil, ozone and heat
resistance than natural rubber.
