PCP Compounds

Designation for synthetic rubber called polychloroprene. More commonly known under the DuPont trade name neoprene. This material has poorer electrical properties than natural rubber, and is therefore confined to non-critical applications when used for insulation. However it has good weathering properties, oil resistance, flame resistance, ozone resistance and mechanical toughness.
