Oil resistant rubbers.

G Types have best tear strength and flex-crack

resistance. T Types contain gel for best processing. RT Types are resistant to
crystallization at low temperature. Neoprene W is a general purpose polymer.
Different viscosity versions are shown below the main types. Other grades
are available for more specialized applications, including latex and adhesive
polymers.

Neoprene AD-20
Chloroprene polymer designed for use in high-strength solution adhesives
requiring rapid rates of strength development. More color-stable than
Neoprene AC during storage. Primary use is in contact adhesives that require
high initial and ultimate bond strength and ability to form bonds with
minimum pressure after long open assembly periods. Neoprene AD can be
dissolved without milling, or can be milled before solution (for rheology
control), to cover a broad range of solution viscosity. It is soluble in solvents
with various evaporation rates. Compounded adhesives can be stored in iron
containers without the discoloration experienced with compounds based on
Neoprene AC.

Neoprene NPR 2008

A high viscosity Neoprene polymer designed specifically to provide improved
solution characteristics when compared to Neoprene WHV, and is primary
used in combination with fast-crystallizing Neoprene grades to impart high
solution viscosity. Solutions of Neoprene NPR 2008 have higher viscosities
than solutions of Neoprene AD-20. Compounded solution adhesives based on
Neoprene NPR 2008 provide more tack and a slower rate of bond strength
development that adhesives based on Neoprene AD-20.

Neoprene NPR 2008 can be dissolved without milling or can be milled before
dissolution (for rheology control). Breakdown of Neoprene NPR 2008 by
milling is more difficult than breakdown of Neoprene AD 20 under similar
milling conditions.

Neoprene TW and TW-100 are nonstaining, general purpose polychloroprenes

that contain gel for good processability. Neoprene TW and TW-100 do not
decrease in molecular weight during mixing and processing and cannot be
chemically peptized. However, some reduction in viscosity may occur under
high shear conditions. The degree of softening is greater for a higher
molecular weight polymer such as Neoprene TW-100. Compounds of
Neoprene TW and TW-100 mix faster and cooler and have better mill release
than compounds of Neoprene GNA or GRT. Neoprene TW is an excellent
polymer base for extruded products, providing high extrusion speed, low die
swell, excellent definition, and very good collapse resistance. In calendered
goods, it produces smooth sheeting with low nerve and shrinkage. Neoprene
TW-100 offers these same benefits in a higher viscosity range suitable for
more heavily loaded compounds.
