Feb. 6, 2012 - PRLog -- Advanced Polymer Trading (APT), an international trading company specialising in the world wide trade of rubber, rubber additives, plastics and petrochemicals has entered into a new agreement with  the Japanese chemical company Denka. Under the terms of the new agreement, APT will distribute  industrial grades of Denka's Chloroprene Rubber (CR) in the Middle East.

Chloroprene rubber is one of the most important types of rubber in use today.

CR is a versatile material and its characteristic features include high elasticity, resistance to solvents, heat, ozone, low temperature and weather ageing.

“Demand for Chloroprene Rubber is increasing in the Middle East as it is in other parts of the world,” said Mr. Hamid Amiri, APT's Managing Director. “As a versatile synthetic rubber, CR is used for a wide range of applications including industrial products.”

Originally Chloroprene Rubber was used primarily in electric wire and adhesives, however it is now in demand for a whole range of applications including automotive components.
