Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the property of neoprene?
A
heat insulator
B
high tensile strength
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It has a high tensile strength, making it good in industrial settings and other environments where there is a lot of movement. Neoprene has good resistance to chemicals, water, heat, flames, oxygen and ozone. It has more resistance against water, solvents and heat compared with natural rubber.

Detailed explanation-2: -A good general-purpose rubber, neoprene is valued for its high tensile strength, resilience, oil and flame resistance, and resistance to degradation by oxygen and ozone; however, its high cost limits its use to special-properties applications.

Detailed explanation-3: -Neoprene rubber is also extremely chemically stable and amongst great insulation properties, exhibits great resistance against solvent damage. It’s able to handle adhesives, as well as provide cushioning, protection against vibration, and abrasion resistance.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chloroprene Rubber (Neoprene) They have tensile strength within the range 7–17 MPa, elongation at break in the range of 200%–600%, and hardness in the range of 40–95 International Rubber Hardness Degrees.
