About Baypren^®

Chloroprene rubber (international abbreviation: CR) is a high-performance material with a wide diversity of applications. Along with Bayer's other synthetic rubber activities, Baypren^® has been produced and distributed by LANXESS AG since 2005. In April 1957, Bayer became the first company to manufacture CR in Europe when it opened its production plant in Leverkusen, Germany. Since then, in addition to making ongoing improvements to the production process and developing products to match market requirements, the company has placed special emphasis on the development of new applications for Baypren^®. Process and application oriented formulations have been developed for modern manufacturing methods and for a large number of end-uses. The formulations and the properties of the individual products have been constantly adapted to meet the mounting demands of processors and users.
