Neoprene molding for cable terminiations
Used in conjunction with Neoprene jacketed cables.
Less frequently used than Polyurethane now because of improvements in urethanes and metal shell coating systems (see Polyurethane).
Advantages
- Compounding can be adjusted to meet specific requirements
- Medium cost
- Standardized process-less dependent upon operator skill for good results
Risks
- Requires compression molding presses
- Requires uniquely compounded neoprene, suited for use in ocean environment - limits availability
- Water Absorption and Bond Delamination
- Tooling is more expensive than polyurethane
- Requires factory processing.
Life
- If standard primers are used, life is somewhat longer than polyurethane 8-12 years, depending upon application.
- Limited experience with plug shell coatings
