2 Polychloroprene Rubber 2 What is Showa Denko Chloroprene? Showa Denko Chloroprene () is a type of synthetic rubber used as an elastomer in the automotive (belts and hoses), construction (waterproofing and sealing), wire and cable, adhesives, and countless other industries. Showa Denko Chloroprene has been produced for over 50 years and continues to expand its application fields. The properties of Showa Denko Chloroprene is highlighted by the a wide range of resistances to sun, ozone, and weathering, many oils and chemicals, low and high temperatures, flame, and toughness against abrasion and general wear. The versatile properties have long been the key to Showa Denko Chloroprene s utility as a multi-purpose rubber. The product is available in over 40 grades, produced as either a dry chip or aqueous dispersion (Latex).
