Additionally, the Operational Expenditure (OPEX) for neoprene rubber mainly consists of the cost of raw materials (chloroprene), daily labor costs, maintenance and repair of the machinery and equipment, compliance and regulatory costs, research and development, transportation, and logistics.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Neoprene Rubber manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Neoprene Rubber manufacturing.

• Production via polymerization of chloroprene: The feedstock required for the production process includes chloroprene.

The production process of Neoprene Rubber occurs via the polymerization of chloroprene. The polymerization of chloroprene produces Neoprene rubber material. The process is an emulsion polymerization reaction conducted under controlled temperature (0°C to 80°C) and pressure. The process involves the dispersion of chloroprene monomers with surfactants to facilitate polymerization. Once the polymer chains are formed, crosslinking agents are added. Finally, neoprene is processed into various forms, such as sheets or foams, by adding additives.
 

Properties of Neoprene Rubber

Neoprene Rubber is a commercial synthetic resin produced via the polymerization of chloroprene monomer. It is a polychloroprene synthetic resin that consists of long-chain polymers of chloroprene molecules. It is a milky white or beige or light brownish substance with a smooth texture like rubber. It has properties such as great flexibility and texture, which is why it is one of the most used rubber materials for various commercial activities. It also has resistivity towards high temperatures and has flame retardant ability. It is a chemical-resistant material. It prevents dust, air, moisture, and water. It is a stable chemical compound that can also be used over various temperatures.
