Neoprene is also available in avariety of forms. In addition to aneoprene
latex that is similar to natural rubber latex, neoprene is produced in fluid
form as either ac ompounded latex dispersion or solvent solution. After
these materials have solidified or cured, they have the same physical and
mechanical properties as the solid or cellular formso fn eoprene.
Neoprene solvent solutions are prepared by dissolving neoprene in
standard rubber solvents. These solutions can be formulated in ar ange of
viscosities suitable for applicationb yb rush, spray,o rr oller.M ajora reas of
application include linings for storage tanks, industrial equipment, and
chemical processing equipment. These coatings protect the vessels from
corrosion by acids, salts,oils,alkalies, and most hydrocarbons.
Neoprene possesses excellentr esistance to attack from solvents, waxes,
fats, oils, greases, and manyother petroleum-basedproducts. It also exhibits
excellent service in contactw ith aliphatic compounds( methyl and ethyl
