(Cr
- Chloroprene Polymer) Resistant to moderate chemicals, acids, oils
fats, grease many solvents and ozone. Attacked by strong oxidizing
acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated aromatic, and nitro hydrocarbons.
Neoprene has good weathering properties, is flame retarding and has
good general physical properties. |

(CSM
- Chlorosulfonated butadiene ) Very similar to Neoprene with improved
acid resistance and high ozone resistance. Attacked by concentrated
oxidizing acids, esters, ketones, chlorinated, aromatic, and nitro
hydrocarbons. Very high ozone resistance. Hypalon ranks as one of
the best elastomers for use in environments where corrosive chemicals
are encountered, particularly oxidizing agents like sulfuric acid,
chromates and hypachlorites. |

Fiberglass
is a man made material having as its main constituent, silica sand.
Each fiber is a very tiny solid glass rod. Fiberglass has excellent
heat resistance and is incombustible. It will start to melt at approximate
750 degrees F, but melting process proceeds very slowly until between
1300 degrees F and 150 degrees F when it becomes totally a liquid.
Fiberglass can not absorb moisture so it won’t rot or decay and is
resistant to acids, oils, many solvents, weather and corrosive vapors.
Fiberglass with an aluminum cover allows the material a 95% reflective
heat property that makes it a very good material in high heat use. |

inertness and resistance to a wide range of fluids: there are only
a few rare fluids that will attack Teflon. It has toughness over a
temperature range of - 100 degrees F to + 500 degrees F. Teflon is
a DuPont Trademark. |
