Do you know the difference between PVC/Nitrile Layflat Hose and neoprene? Today, we will make an introduction from three aspects: raw materials, characteristics and uses.
First, let's see the difference between the raw materials.
PVC/Nitrile Layflat Hose (NBR) is a random copolymer obtained from emulsion polymerization of butadiene and styrene, and its performance depends on the content of acrylonitrile.
Chloroprene rubber (CR) is a kind of elastomer made from 2-chloro-1,3-butadiene by homopolymerization or copolymerization.
Second, let's look at the characteristics of both.
PVC Layflat Hose is one of the most representative rubber with excellent oil resistance, physical and mechanical properties and chemical resistance. It has good physical and mechanical properties, oil resistance, heat resistance, fire resistance, sunlight resistance, ozone resistance, acid and alkali resistance, chemical reagent resistance. The disadvantage is poor cold resistance and storage stability.
Chloroprene rubber has good physical and mechanical properties, oil resistance, heat resistance, fire resistance, sunlight resistance, ozone resistance, acid and alkali resistance, chemical reagent resistance.
Finally, to compare the use of the two.
PVC flat hose pipe is mainly used to produce oil-resistant products, such as oil-resistant tubing, tape, rubber diaphragm and large oil bags. Chloroprene rubber is widely used in weatherproof products, viscose soles, coatings and rocket fuels.
