Can neoprene rubber be recycled or disposed of safely?
Neoprene rubber can be recycled, but the process can be complex and requires specialized facilities. It's not as commonly recycled as some other materials. While it's generally safe in solid form, burning neoprene rubber can release harmful chemicals, so it's not recommended for incineration.
Can neoprene rubber withstand exposure to sunlight and weathering?
Yes, neoprene rubber can withstand prolonged exposure to outdoor conditions without significant degradation. However, its resistance may gradually decrease over time with prolonged exposure to harsh environmental factors. Regular inspection and maintenance can help prolong its lifespan in such conditions.
Can CR rubber be used in contact with food or drinking water?
Yes, food-grade neoprene can be used in a food contact application. These grades are readily available as a raw material or as a finished product such as gaskets, seals, conveyor covers, etc.
