NEOPRENE SHEET
CR or Chloroprene is a homo-polymer of chloroprene or chloro-butadiene. It has excellent mechanical and good abrasion properties even without reinforcing filters and has a reasonable resilience in grades over 60° shore A.
It displays good resistance to heat, ozone and weathering and also gives good adhesion to metal. The recommended operating temperature range is between -40°C to +125°C. It has good resistance to inorganic hydrocarbons.

NEOPRENE SPECIFICATIONS
AMS 3204 - Synthetic low temperature resistant - ( 25 - 35 Duro ) This specification covers a synthetic rubber in the form of sheet, strip, tubing, molded shapes, and extrusions. Primarily for parts, such as sleeves, fairings, grommets, and window channels, where resistance to low temperature is of prime importance. PDF Link
AMS 3207 - Weather resistant - ( 25 - 35 Duro ) This specification covers a chloroprene (CR) rubber in the form of sheet, strip, tubing, and molded shapes. PDF Link
AMS 3208 - Weather resistant -( 45 - 55 Duro ) See above 3207 for PDF
AMS 3209 - Weather resistant - ( 65 - 75 Duro ) This specification covers a chloroprene (CR) rubber in the form of sheet, strip, tubing, extrusions, and molded shapes. These products have been used typically for parts requiring resistance to weather, such as window channels, bumper pads, chafing strips, and seals, for use from -40 degrees to +100 degrees C (-40 degrees to +212 degrees F), but usage is not limited to such applications.
