Question

Which among the following polymers is used to manufacture chemical containers?

Options

• Neoprene rubber

• Buna-N

• Styrene butadiene rubber

• Butyl rubber

Answer 1

Neoprene rubber

Explanation:

The chemical inertness of neoprene allows it to tolerate the weather, ozone, and other outside variables, as well as petroleum-based compounds like solvents, oils, and greases. Neoprene can also be used to manufacture corrosion-resistant coatings and as a foundation for adhesives due to its stability and lack of reactivity. It's also employed in the production of chemical containers.
