Abstract

A supplier of polychloroprene has suggested that bridge hearings should not crystallise because there is always sufficient thermal cycling to induce bridge movement and stop the formation of crystals in the elastomer. It is argued that thermal cycling is unlikely to be sufficient at mid to high latitudes in winter to inhibit crystallisation that is at the time when the risk of crystallisation is greatest.
