Neoprene is a family of synthetic rubber formed by chloroprene polymerization, also known as polychloroprene. Neoprene has excellent chemical stability and endurance across a wide temperature range. Neoprene being a strong general-purpose rubber is valued for its high tensile strength, oil and frame resistance, and oxygen and ozone degradation resistance. However, its exorbitant cost limits its usage to applications requiring unique features.
