BAYPREN RUBBER

Product

Baypren Rubber

Chloroprene rubber is a high-performance material with a wide variety of applications. Baypren is the brand-name of the ARLANXEO range of polymers based on 2-chloro-1, 3-butadiene (chloro- prene), which are manufactured by water-based emulsion polymerization. The importance of Baypren is derived essentially from its attractive combination of key properties which are unmatched by any other kind of rubber at a comparable price.

Properties

Baypren displays the following characteristic properties in addition to its excellent rubber-elastic behavior:

Resistance to weathering, both in dry and humid climates
Excellent combustion behavior
Good aging and heat resistance
Good tensile strength, tear and wear resistance
High dynamic fatigue resistance
Resistance to water and a large number of chemicals over a long period
Good adhesion to reinforcing substrates consisting of textiles, metals or glass fibers
Resistance to fungi and soil bacteria
Low gas permeability

Application

Thanks to its excellent set of properties, Baypren is being used for the production of highly stressed rubber articles in many sectors, primarily in the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, plant construction, ship-building, mining and mineral oil production.
