EPDM beats it on weather and heat but swells in oil.<\/p>\n<h3>Is neoprene still available given chloroprene regulations?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, production continues and the material remains widely used. Some markets have tighter handling rules for the monomer; that affects manufacturing compliance, not your part specification.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Related materials<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"related\">\n<li><a href=\"\/nl\/vmq-silicone-rubber\/\">Silicone Rubber (VMQ) Moulding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/nl\/fvmq-fluorosilicone-rubber\/\">FVMQ Fluorosilicone Rubber Moulding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/nl\/fkm-fluorocarbon-rubber\/\">FKM Fluorocarbon Rubber Moulding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/nl\/ffkm-perfluoroelastomer\/\">FFKM Perfluoroelastomer Moulding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/nl\/epdm-rubber-molding\/\">EPDM Rubber Moulding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/nl\/nbr-nitrile-rubber\/\">NBR Nitrile Rubber Moulding<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"\/nl\/silicone-rubber\/\">\u2190 All Silicone &amp; Rubber Solutions<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"cta\">\n<h2>Send us your Neoprene (CR) Rubber drawing<\/h2>\n<p>Upload a 3D model or a 2D drawing and we will come back with a DFM review, a tooling cost and a piece price \u2014 usually within two working days.<\/p>\n<p>    <a class=\"btn\" href=\"\/nl\/neem-contact-op-met\/\">Request a quote<\/a>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Neoprene \u2014 chloroprene rubber, CR \u2014 is the generalist of the elastomer world.
