Abstract

Among the vulcanized elastomers, the chloroprene rubber (Neoprene) possesses a good performance being one of the most used in the current days. Compounding was carried out in a two-roll mill and vulcanized at 150°C. However, this kind of polymer is seriously playing a vital role for the manufacture of power transmission belts in the automotive industry. A worldwide method that has been used and that is an important tool in the rubber vulcanization in hydraulic press curing at high temperature in which the chloroprene compound has virtual physical and mechanical properties. In this work, the chloroprene samples were prepared according to ASTM standards. The Rheological and the physico-mechanical properties of CR vulcanizate were studied.
