What is Neoprene?
Neoprene, or Polychloroprene is a type of synthetic rubber. It is a soft, Flexible, and durable sponge rubber that has the following unique features:
- WATER RESISTANCE: Neoprene sheds water extremely effectively, making it an ideal outdoor material.
- WEATHER RESISTANCE: Neoprene resists degradation from sunlight, ozone, oxidation, rain, snow, sand and dust – all weather conditions that can heavily wear down normal materials.
- THERMAL & MOISTURE INSULATION: The gas cells of neoprene make it an ideal insulation material, most notably in wetsuits and can holders.
- STRETCHABLE: Neoprene is elastic and form-fitting. The stretchy characteristic of neoprene allows it to applied to equipment, products, and fits of varying sizes and shapes.
- CUSHIONING AND PROTECTION: The varying thicknesses and densities of neoprene can provide just the right amount of protection to absorb the shock of everyday handling of your products. Neoprene has been a common choice in electronics protection as well as wearable protection as well in the form of braces and pads.
- LIGHTWEIGHT AND BUOYANT: Neoprene contains gas cells which helps the foam stay lightweight and also helps the material naturally float when in water.
- CHEMICAL AND OIL RESISTANT: Neoprene performs well in contact with oils that are derived from petroleum and many other chemicals and remains useful over a wide temperature range.
While most neoprene in the marketplace is petroleum based, all of our neoprene foams come standard as limestone based offering superior performance, feel, and environmental awareness. Want to know more? Check out our Neoprene 101 video!
