Neoprene rubber hose is a kind of pipe made of chloroprene rubber. It has good oil resistance, weather resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. It is widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, pharmaceutical, food, environmental protection and other fields. This article will introduce the characteristics, production process and application fields of chloroprene rubber hose, and also analyze and forecast its market prospects.
1. Characteristics of neoprene rubber hose
Neoprene rubber hose is mainly made of chloroprene rubber. Its molecular structure contains chlorine, which makes the hose have good oil resistance, weather resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. In addition, neoprene rubber hose also has the following characteristics:
1. High strength and wear resistance: Neoprene rubber hose has high tensile strength and wear resistance, and can withstand large pressure and friction.
2. High and low temperature resistance: Neoprene rubber hose can be used normally in the temperature range of -40℃ to +120℃, adapting to various extreme environments.
3. Corrosion resistance: Neoprene rubber hose can resist corrosion from chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts, extending its service life.
4. Flame retardant: Neoprene rubber hose has good flame retardant properties and can effectively prevent the spread of fire.
5. Environmental performance: Neoprene rubber hose is non-toxic and odorless, environmentally friendly and meets environmental protection requirements.
2. Manufacturing process of neoprene rubber hose
The manufacturing process of neoprene rubber hose mainly includes the following steps:
1. Formula design: According to market demand and performance requirements, select an appropriate formula and mix chloroprene rubber with other additives.
2. Mixing: Put the mixed raw materials into a mixer for high-temperature mixing to make a mixed rubber.
3. Calendering: The mixed rubber is processed into a film of a certain thickness through a calender.
4. Lamination: Laminate two or more layers of film together to form a tube shape.
5. Vulcanization: Vulcanization treatment is carried out under a certain temperature and pressure to finalize the shape of the hose and improve its physical properties.
6. Surface treatment: Surface treatment is performed on the vulcanized hose, such as spraying, coating, etc., to improve its anti-corrosion, wear resistance and other properties.
7. Testing and packaging: Conduct various performance tests on neoprene rubber hoses to ensure qualified quality and package them.
3. Application areas of neoprene rubber hoses
Due to its excellent performance, neoprene rubber hose is widely used in the following fields:
1. Petroleum industry: used to transport flammable and explosive media such as oil and natural gas, with high safety performance.
2. Chemical industry: used to transport acids, alkalis, salts and other chemical substances, with strong corrosion resistance.
3. Pharmaceutical industry: used to transport medicines and meet the hygienic requirements in the pharmaceutical production process.
4. Food industry: used to transport beverages, alcohol, dairy products and other foods, complying with food safety standards.
5. Environmental protection engineering: used in sewage treatment, flue gas desulfurization and other fields, with strong corrosion resistance and environmental protection performance.
